Robert
What an amazing find! ! ... The owners of this site have gone out of their way to create a perfect getaway site. The shepherd hut is modern well maintained, clean and cosy with beautiful views across fields towards the cheddar gorge. Especially beautiful at sunrise and sunset. Everything needed is supplied fire logs, towels, coffee tea etc. There is a perfect feeling of isolation whilst being close to the main site and access to a games room, laundry area and well stocked honesty shop. There are walk routes directly from the farm and Bath and Wells are only a short drive away. Thank you to Kate and James. We will be returning... Rob and Laura
Natalie
The hut was really cute,clean and tidy. If your looking for a weekend of relaxation with a book a hotub and a bottle of wine,this place is perfect. The views are stunning.sunset amazing .Perfect !!! Thank you
Sophie
Had an amazing time here, relaxing and felt so off grid but then easy access to Cheddar for shops and also to main roads once off country lanes. The farm is adorable and has had so much thought put into it, the honesty shop is so helpful. All I would say is don't forget to bring your own Bluetooth speaker for some music if you want a bit of ambience the sound of nature was also lovely! as we forgot ours and there is no TV which was lovely for a TV detox!
Pictures dont do the surrounding beauty even close to justice. I could have happily stayed for a week and just chilled looking at the view. The staff were super friendly and Kate is responsive and accommodating host. The optimal food hampers were also very good. Ill definitely be back.
We had a fantastic time, the bed was very comfortable. The water pressure and temperature in the shower was great. All utensils that we would need were provided. The pod was clean, well maintained and had an absolutely fantastic view. We especially enjoyed the log burner and hot tub! The honestly shop had a great selection all very reasonably priced and the food was delicious. We would absolutely recommend staying here! 5 stars
Beautiful little pod with everything you need . . so relaxing and quiet just what i needed, a wonderful place with a beautiful scenery . kate the host was lovely... will definitely be booking again, thanks mandy
Lovely Property!
A fantastic stay the hosts were really great nothing to much trouble. A great relaxing quite chillout break. In lovely surroundings. Was great to see that the holiday side was working in conjuction with a working farm not taking it over. Hope to be back again.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay. We couldnt have asked for more.
This was the perfect weekend getaway, it feels like you are in your own little world. Everything was so easy and it was a great location to be able to drive into cheddar. Sitting in the hot tub watching the sunset over the beautiful view of fields on fields with sheep and their lambs playing was perfect.
Had a fantastic stay with fantastic hosts. Great pod with all the facilities you could need for a relaxed stay. Will certainly be booking again.
Jessica
We had the best visit at lime kiln, the owners even decorated for a birthday at our request which made the stay really special. All the facilities within the cabin were perfect for the time spent and perfect for 2 people. The only feedback Id say is the notes to finding the place and the cottage were a little confusing. We found just searching Warren Farm on maps took us straight there. Thank you so much for our stay, and we hope to return again soon.
Farzana
Had a peaceful stay at Lime Kiln on Warren Farm. Lovely scenery from a cosy cabin not too far from activities and walks if you want to get active. Everything needed, provided along with a cute hot tub for two. Simple attached shower room, only issue was hot water wasnt always available but help was at hand to fix this. Would definitely recommend for couples and families as larger cabins are also available with lots of green space and farm animals for children to enjoy!
Amazing holiday the owners give you all the space and privacy in the world but you know where to find them if you need anything its perfect ! !
Such a lovely stay enjoyed every minute! However we couldnt get the hot water to work in the shower but that didnt ruin our stay. Would definitely recommend.
Beautiful place. Gorgeous surroundings. Pleasant owners. Would highly recommend
