The downside is that it is located in an airfield, however if you're looking for an isolated getaway it's not even a downside, it didn't bother us. Also, there is no mains power on the premises, which we knew about. The hut functions on a generator and the down side is that you have to switch it on and off before you go to bed so you fisically have to come out the hut in the middle of the night and walk about 35 meters to switch it off before you go to sleep. Again, for a couple of nights it didn't bother us.

The hut was lovely, clean and very comfortable. I loved the wood burner, great feature, specially because we went there in march and the weather was still cold. The hut is compact but very comfortable, perfect for a little quiet getaway in the country side for 2 people. The hut also has a nice patio and a BBQ which I imagine is a nice feature in the summer. When we went there it had been raining a lot so we could not use the terrace. The location is good, about 15-20 minutes drive to Bath city center. There is also a farm shop across the road which is very well stocked, has a kitchen also. Fiona, the host was great, very friendly and amazingly helpful. We have arrived at 10 in the evening and she has waited to meet us there and show us around which made a huge difference. I have been looking for this kind of place to stay for a long time and it was definitely worth it. It's a beautiful spot for star gazing as it's pitch black and you can see the sky beautifully. Also the communication with the host was great, she has warned us about the muddy walk, the puddles, which put me off slightly prior to arriving only because the weather was quite bad, windy and rainy but it was actually not as bad as I thought, and it was all worth it in the end as we had a great stay ☺️

A small makeup mirror was provided but we feel there was enough room in the bathroom for a wall mounted small mirror. A protective glove or pair of tongs provided to use for the stove would have been useful. The fridge was a little dirty and gave off a smell.

Very cosy and secluded, ideal for a weekend getaway in the countryside. The set up was basic but had everything required for a comfortable stay including a nice bed, blankets and an easy to use log burner. Ideally located for travelling into Bath. The farm shop is amazing really recommend the shop and the restaurant. Some lovely pubs 10 min drive away in Norton St Phillip, we also travelled to Cheddar Gorge which took around 45 mins.

Having to come home!!! 😆

The property is situated just a short drive away from Bath, in a beautiful and picturesque airfield. The property was tastefully decorated and equipped with everything we needed. We loved the cozy and homely atmosphere of the property. Fiona, the host, was extremely kind and considerate, and we really enjoyed interacting with her. She is highly approachable and very accommodating. Nothing was ever too much to ask. She went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was as comfortable as possible. Our highlight: we even had the privilege of witnessing the takeoff and landing of some planes and met some of the pilots.

There was lots of cobwebs and a few spiders which I am absolutely terrified of so for my piece of mind it could have been dusted around the lights & corners as what I can’t see won’t hurt me! It was very hard to find the hut, maybe some signage when you get to the carpark & is really hard to locate in the dark winter mornings and night. Very very wet and muddy, we slipped and slides everywhere but for us, that was just part of the experience. But for others, maybe not as fun.

It was super cosy. We enjoyed to log fire and how homely it felt. It was clean and tidy. Fiona was brilliant, super clear with instructions. Was a lovely little place and in close proximity of bath city centre.

I missed the WIFI, to be honest, haha =) It would have been nice to be able to watch a movie, without having to worry about my data. And it would have been nice to know beforehand that the hut is in front of a little airplane field. But I did enjoy a flight in one of the airplanes, so I shouldn't 'complain' about that, haha! =)

I loved the Skylar Shepherds hut!! Cozy, nice decorated, good view, a little fireplace and attention for detail. It was a small hut, but it felt really bright and open. I had a nice welcome and the owner was very helpful. Recommend!

A pop up inside table to eat our dinner on, (unless we just missed it and there was one).

Location was lovely and quiet. Nice get away.

The shepherd's hut is very cosy and comfortable with everything you could need. 20 min drive into Bath and 15 minutes to frome with lots to do during the day and lots of pubs in a short driving distance for meals. Andy was super friendly and helpful. Loved the wild rabbits running around

If you want a true off the grid experience, this could be a starting point for you. It was very clean and spacious (for a hut) and the fire was a great addition! We loved it! The skylight above the bed was also a great touch, beautiful!

Great getaway from the city, lovely to have had a fire in the winter and disconnect for a few nights.
