Shepherds Croft is a beautifully converted barn located 7 miles northeast of Taunton in Somerset. This 4-star rated property sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where sheep graze peacefully and pheasants strut about like they own the place. The enclosed garden ensures complete privacy - perfect for those moments when you fancy a glass of wine in your birthday suit (we won't judge).
The surrounding countryside offers spectacular views across Somerset's rolling hills. Walkers will love exploring the nearby Quantocks and Exmoor, while those seeking a slower pace can visit Dunster Castle or meander through local tea shops.
