  We had a V enjoyable stay.

  However the cottage is Extremely remote with rds V narrow & blind bends which made driving difficult especially with the bad weather we had. The sofa by the window is extremely uncomfortable to sit on, both look lovely but are feather filled & basically squash to nothing when you sit on them. The bath is a roll top & high with shower over the top so care needs to be taken. I would suggest owners get a bath mat to put in the bath to avoid any miss haps of slipping. Bed was comfortable with lovely crisp white bedding. Plenty of utensils, hot water & heating. The path to property is gravel & the step up is a bit high with no grab rail for those that may need a little help. The windows could do with a good clean so as to enjoy the lovely scenery. We would not return but only because although it states it is remote we found it far TOO remote for us. Shops & pub take a good 20 mins to drive to down V tight country rds. Would recommend Rose & Crown pub. Excellent food & good price. Sherborne is wonderful with closed off high St for cars. Beautiful Abbey & a water mill just on the edge of town. Castle & gardens also a must see. Don't bother seeing the chalk man as it needs re chalking so nothing to see. Forgot to mention cottage has V nice secure garden with furniture & lovely fields/views to enjoy. We enjoyed our welcome gift & had a lovely stay.

  The cottage in essence has the potential to be really great.

  On entering we noticed the kitchen worktops looked a bit dirty with marks and toast crumbs or similar. I set to with a cloth and some bleach and by the time I had cleaned the kitchen surfaces, kettle, microwave, handles and high touch areas, the water was dark grey with dirt. The bin cupboard had food waste both on the inside lip and the inside of the cupboard. There was a side board in the living area that was thick was dust underneath. There were lots of dead bugs collected in the light fitting. Ll the mirrors were smeared so i can only assume they we're cleaned with a dirty cloth or not buffed dry and clean. Considering that we had to arrive an hour later and leave an hour earlier to allow for enhanced Covid cleaning I found this to be unacceptable. I have taken photos. The TV was very small and very poor quality which for the price per week, and the remote location, really ought to be bigger and better, as there is little else to do when you are there, which is what we wanted but the TV was then an issue. The bed was really comfortable. The bathroom was well appointed. We would not go back.

  Wow. We were impressed from the moment we saw this little hut. It is exactly as advertised but also has lots of hidden details that make the stay so much nicer. The hut itself, the quality of the finishings, the beautiful peaceful setting, the amazing heating, and the absolutely appreciated flowers and scones with jam and cream, this was a wonderful little, last minute break.We knew we would need to drive places and we planned ahead. With day trips to Lyme Regis and Bath. Multiple supermarkets were not that far away and we stocked up on what we needed. We didn't venture to the village pub but it did look lovely.We absolutely would recommend and we are already looking forward to returning. Thank you so much for accommodating such a last minute booking. We were blown away by the hut and the level of service.

  I wouldn’t say this is a 4 star property at all.

  As most of the reviews have said the cleanliness really lets it down. A villager warned us of this as we pulled up. We had to wash all crockery and cutlery. The kitchen cupboards were greasy and dirty as was the oven. We chose to eat out all week. Lack of cupboard space meant our food stayed in the bags. The lounge cannot be cleaned in between lets as the dust in the corners and behind the TV had been there a long long time, as had the dead flies on the windowsills. The small outside space could be made to look lovely and useable if it was weeded and flowers were in the planter instead of the dandelion and decent chairs were provided, not the rusty set that is there. I hope Skyes cottages work with the owners to make this the lovely cottage it could be.

  Thank you so much for the most welcoming, gorgeous stay in your lovely Shepherds Hut. My boyfriend Kieran booked us this stay to celebrate my recent birthday and wow it looked absolutely amazing in photos but even more wonderful in person!! You have done everything up to a such high standard and i now want to copy your design at home! The outdoor bath is incredible - i have never ever felt more relaxed. This is the break that we needed as like you, having young children can be very tiring! The finishing touches like the marshmallows and bubble bath were such nice surprises, you really have thought of everything! We cant wait to come back again soon. We will really miss it here and Snowflake the horse (sorry if thats not actually his name)! Thank you again.
