Beth

Beautiful location we had a lovely couple of days exploring with the dog. Quiet pretty cottage very relaxing. Will certainly come back.

Mike

This is a fantastic little property. Perfect for two (and not small in that respect either). Well appointed, great views, lovely plot, private without being horribly isolated. Easy transport links to the area. Lovely hosts. I think we would both say this is about the best UK cottage we have ever stayed at.

Liam

We had a lovely stay. I took my fiance and our dog (long haired chihuahua, Penelope) and it was perfect. Its lovely and quiet, and apart from greeting us, the owners left us to it (but were available on WhatsApp at any time). We visited the Maypole Inn a few times (dog friendly), popped into Bridgwater for dinner one evening, and went to Clarks Out let Village (dog friendly - we didnt know this until we got there!). There is a huge Sainsburys less than 15 minutes away #helpful

This is a fab holiday cottage with everything one needs and in a great location with super friendly hosts. Well equipped kitchen, modern bathroom and comfy bed. The dog was very happy with the space outside to run about safely.

Madeleine

Dee

Very clean property. Comfy sofas and bed. Peaceful and relaxing setting. Convenient for M5.

Mark

This accommodation and location is perfect if you are holidaying with your dog. We have stayed in dog friendly accommodation before and always found it really stressful as it is very rarely actually dog friendly. Shepherds Croft is perfect; the floors are wipeable but non slip, the garden is really well enclosed, easy to control the temperature wit h a thermostat in every room. Owners are helpful but not intrusive. Overall a lovely, relaxing holiday in a beautiful location.

Louisa

Return visit to this lovely property. Great views, quiet location, fab underfloor heating and a woodburner for extra cosiness. We had a very relaxing week, with walking, reading and board games, which was just what we wanted. Lots of walks nearby, in lovely countryside. North Petherton has a great Fish & Chip shop and an Indian restaurant, which ar e great for takeaways. Cottage Owners very helpful but not intrusive. We will return.

Charlotte

Absolutely beautiful place. Couldnt fault it at all it had everything we needed! Thank you very much

Phoebe

Lovely property with beautiful views, perfect location for couples with a dog with lots of walks around the area and a hottub to relax in the evening.

Lizzie

We spent a week at Shepherds Croft and we couldnt fault a single thing. The property is very tastefully decorated and has everything you need to be self-sufficient for the week. The location was stunning and the enclosed garden was perfect for our dog. The whole trip was utter bliss and well likely rebook for next year!

Nick

Lovely cottage, clean and comfortable. Owners very helpful when asked anything. Milk, biscuits and dog treats appreciated after long journey.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting, wish we had booked longer.
