Hidden Gem. Booked a overnight stay in the Shepards Hut

Martin and Marina were very welcoming. They obviously take so much pride in presenting their home and accommodation to a high standard. The Shepards hut was set in a private site within the garden. It was a perfect overnight stay for us and would reccomend.

Excellent place to stay - the hut was immaculate and had every comfort we could ask for

It was so kind of them to let us check in early, and the homemade bread was a lovely touch!

Our stay was so relaxing, peaceful and rejuvenating.

We loved the tranquil location and the privacy of the Shepherds Hut and sauna. The sauna was fantastic - so relaxing, particularly with the views over the fields. The hut itself was extremely comfortable with everything we needed. The welcome pack provided a delicious homemade breakfast - perfect!

The perfect tonic required after a difficult time

I liked I had my own space a private garden with lovely views and cows as neighbours . Martin and Marina were delightful hosts and nothing was too much trouble .

Really rather special.

The hosts are charming, and very helpful but not at all intrusive. The shepherds hut is well kitted out, comfy and spotlessly clean. It’s hidden away in a very secluded part of the garden for total privacy and gorgeous views. Homemade cake and tea on arrival was a real treat. Everything was simply lovely.

Amazing stay at Corner House's new Shepard's hut!

This was the second time we have stayed at corner house, This time we stayed for 2 nights in there new Shepard's hut and it was fantastic! Martyn and Marina again were so welcoming and make you feel at home straight away. We opted for a 3 course meal on the first night which was really lovely home cooked food. Would defiantly recommend a stay here at Corner house and we can't wait to stay here again.

Fantastic experience from start to finish!

From the moment we arrived Martyn & Marina were there with a smile! The lush garden looked beautiful and I was blown away by the Wisteria! We had dinner with our hosts one evening which was authentic pizza done in their wood burning oven! Master chef quality matched with a humble, friendly approach! If you are looking for something off the beaten track and with charm then this is ideal.

I wish I'd been able to stay longer.

The Corner House is a rare jewel and Martyn and Marina perfect hosts. We were fortunate to stay in the luxurious and intimate Shepherd's Hut, and woke to a chorus of birdsong. Breakfast proved sumptuous and set us up for a day discovering the Gertrude Jekyll designed gardens at Barrington Court. Montacute House too is close by, Tintinhull only a few minutes drive and we strolled along the lane to the 12th century St Michael's Church in the village. Somerset is beautiful, this B&B even more so.

Absolutely Great!!

We stayed two nights at Martin and Marnias Shepherds Hut. It was great!!. Apart from being two of the nicest people you could wish to meet the place was idyllic. It was clean comfortable with all the facilities you could need. The welcome pack was very useful. We had dinner there the first night and Marinas cooking was first class. I could go on but I suggest you go find out for yourself..

The Perfect Weekend Getaway

...the "Getaway" being a break from the normal day-to-day hamster wheel of life, but without having to go too far to find it! Having spent a few days in shepherd huts in Devon in 2020, I knew this would be the perfect scenario for a relaxing weekend amidst beautiful countryside. The Corner House, Somerset, did not disappoint. Martyn and Marina were the perfect hosts; friendly and accommodating but respectful of privacy. Marina's home-cooked delights were very much appreciated, and added to the feeling of being spoilt in a stunningly rural corner of Somerset. The cream tea I ordered on arrival could not have been more appreciated. Not to mention Morris the cat, who politely kept his distance until encouraged to join us before we departed! Truly a perfect weekend, thank you!
