Summary: The hosts are charming, and very helpful but not at all intrusive. The shepherds hut is well kitted out, comfy and spotlessly clean. It’s hidden away in a very secluded part of the garden for total privacy and gorgeous views. Homemade cake and tea on arrival was a real treat. Everything was simply lovely.
Mark May 15, 2025 02:33:44 PM
Summary: From the moment we arrived Martyn & Marina were there with a smile! The lush garden looked beautiful and I was blown away by the Wisteria! We had dinner with our hosts one evening which was authentic pizza done in their wood burning oven! Master chef quality matched with a humble, friendly approach! If you are looking for something off the beaten track and with charm then this is ideal.

Summary: We loved the tranquil location and the privacy of the Shepherds Hut and sauna. The sauna was fantastic - so relaxing, particularly with the views over the fields. The hut itself was extremely comfortable with everything we needed. The welcome pack provided a delicious homemade breakfast - perfect!

Summary: Spotlessly clean. Consideration given to all your needs. Welcoming host. Lovely breakfast delivered to our hut.
Caroline May 31, 2024 02:03:31 PM

Matthew Jul 25, 2023 06:37:08 PM
Summary: This was the second time we have stayed at corner house, This time we stayed for 2 nights in there new Shepard's hut and it was fantastic! Martyn and Marina again were so welcoming and make you feel at home straight away. We opted for a 3 course meal on the first night which was really lovely home cooked food. Would defiantly recommend a stay here at Corner house and we can't wait to stay here again.
Catherine Jul 25, 2023 06:37:05 PM
Summary: The situation was beautiful and we had such a lovely welcome from our three hosts.
Peter and Carol Jul 25, 2023 06:34:59 PM
Summary: The Corner House is a rare jewel and Martyn and Marina perfect hosts. We were fortunate to stay in the luxurious and intimate Shepherd's Hut, and woke to a chorus of birdsong. Breakfast proved sumptuous and set us up for a day discovering the Gertrude Jekyll designed gardens at Barrington Court. Montacute House too is close by, Tintinhull only a few minutes drive and we strolled along the lane to the 12th century St Michael's Church in the village. Somerset is beautiful, this B&B even more so.
Josephine Jul 25, 2023 06:34:59 PM
Summary: It was so kind of them to let us check in early, and the homemade bread was a lovely touch!
Mark P. Oct 3, 2022 06:00:05 AM
Summary: We stayed two nights at Martin and Marnias Shepherds Hut. It was great!!. Apart from being two of the nicest people you could wish to meet the place was idyllic. It was clean comfortable with all the facilities you could need. The welcome pack was very useful. We had dinner there the first night and Marinas cooking was first class. I could go on but I suggest you go find out for yourself..
