Shepherds Linhay Reviews

Jamie
We arrived to find the property even nicer than the photos suggested, which was a lovely surprise. Parking was plentifuland the outdoor space with gravel, grass, a big decking areaand a covered porch was perfect for relaxing. Inside, everything was spotless and super comfy. There are lovely walks nearbyand while it's quite secluded, it’s only a short drive to Bridgewater and Taunton. The hot tub was great, warming up quickly with fantastic views. Definitely recommend!

Hosts were friendly but respectful of our privacy, which we really appreciated. Definitely a place we’d return to for a relaxing break with plenty to explore nearby.
