We have just returned home from TED.We have had the most wonderful time, a truly lovely getaway break.Everything about the service, styling and overall experience of staying in one of these gorgeous huts has been so enjoyable. With back to basics facilities that were compact and stylish, while providing everything we really needed, we couldn't fault a thing. The hot tub bath was delightful, a nice way to enjoy an afternoon, taking in the sounds and scenery of this quiet rural retreat.Phil was fabulous at keeping in touch from arrival to departure (via text message) making sure we were settled and had everything we needed, but in no way intrusive at all.We are looking forward to staying again in the future, hopefully at LEN.Thank you!

If you want to get away from it all this is the perfect place! So relaxing and quiet. The only living things we saw were owls and deer! Ted is beautifully decorated, such attention to detail. Everything is set up for ease of use. The log burner does a fantastic job, we stayed in February and the hut stayed so warm even without the logburner on in the mornings. Location is great, so close to beautiful attractions in Somerset. Would definitely stay at Ted again.
After doing some research and reading some positive reviews, we decided to go with this location and truly did not disappoint and exceeded expectations!.Words cannot express the amazing lifetime experience we had during our stay at Ted's hut! We were not sure what to expect in our first time in a "rural retreat".The peace we felt during our stay was truly special. Stunning view, we had a clear sky night which gave us the chance to do stargazing.Overall, it was perfect.

Amazing birthday weekend retreat. My husband and I had the most relaxing time. We found Len's hut was set up perfectly with a great cooking area and wood burner for a cosy evening. Everything was easy to set up and use. Lovely hot shower which you never quite know will work in this type of accommodation. The hot tub was fabulous and I miss it already. Wonderful host, warm, cosy space, stunning views, with deer in the fields. Perfect! Already planning our next visit.

Stayed 3 nights in Ted and loved it. Beautiful location surrounded by quiet, nature, and easy access to walks, surrounding country and villages. The hut was perfect - had everything we needed (full kitchen, bathroom, comfortable bed). They’ve thought of all the small details. Outdoor oven and hot tub were lovely extras!

Booked as a birthday surprise for my partner and we had a wonderful stay in Len’s hut. The hut was spotless and had everything you could want for a comfortable stay. Fantastic peaceful location with great views. We really enjoyed cooking and eating outside and the hot tub in the evening was such a luxury. We were very well looked after - nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely return.
Stayed in Ted, beautiful hut with everything you could possibly need provided. Taking an outdoor bath whilst watching the sunset and being surrounded by nature was just pure bliss for me. Thank you and cannot wait to return.

We had an excellent time staying in Len. Everything that we needed was provided. We had two fabulous, peaceful evenings in the hot tub enjoying the sunsets and stars. Highly recommended.
This was my second visit to Tor View Shepherds Huts but my first time in Len. I was again delighted by everything. The hut was perfectly furnished and equipped, spotlessly clean and the bed extremely comfortable. I had two wonderful nights sleep, I’m sure I didn’t move all night. I hope to return in the Autumn to enjoy more of the Tor View magic.

Back after 4 years and delighted to say it was just as lovely! So pleased with our stay and finally worked out the walk from the visitors book (saved it to the Ordinance Survey App if anyone fancies a walk with a pub half way). I would recommend checking the list of contents and facilities, especially if you plan on doing your own cooking as it's surprising how much is available. Stayed in early March twice (my wife's birthday) and was cold and a bit wet but lovely and warm in the hut and very cozy. Would heartily recommend! Thank you again Phil and Mandy!

We had the most romantic, relaxing few days staying in Ted, being off grid was perfect as we both have hectic lives and needed some 'us' time. Nothing can beat sitting in the hot tub watching deer graze less than 50yds away, something we'll treasure forever.Thanks for allowing us to stay at your beautiful hut, a tick off the bucket list, now back to reality.....

We stayed in December - the hut was really lovely and cozy with a stove fire. Very well equipped. We weren’t able to use the outdoor facilities or hot tub due to the weather but enjoyed the peaceful views over the fields! Phil was a fantastic host and gave us lots of recommendations for local activities. We would love to come back!
Yet another excellent stay at our favourite destination of the year. We are annual visitors to this peaceful Somerset paradise as we just cannot get enough of it. We always stay in ‘Ted’ and he never disappoints. This visit we enjoyed a full week of relaxation, hot tubs and wildlife spotting. The luxurious hut has everything we could possibly require and we only ventured out twice to visit Wells market for some homemade cakes. Each afternoon we fired up the hot tub to sit and watch the deer well into the evening. We can highly recommend a stay in this piece or paradise for anybody wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of day to day life. We love it and will continue to return year after year for the luxury, log fires and beautiful surroundings. Thank you Phil and Mandy for being amazing hosts, we look forward to seeing you again soon. To everyone out there…..book book book, we guarantee you will absolutely love it here!

Recently stayed in Len for my girlfriends 30th and this getaway was simply perfect.Couldn't of asked for better weather and this only enhanced the shepards hut and glorious hot tub. The suggested walk into Croscombe and through Ham Woods is a must.1000% recommend to anyone and everyone, don't think twice, Tor View does not disappoint!

Wonderful stay in Ted at Tor View Shepherds Huts. Such a peaceful location with incredible views over Glastonbury and Wells. Perfectly located to pop into either during your stay. The hut is well looked after and the bed is super comfortable. The ensuite bathroom is a nice touch and not often found in shepherds huts. Outside there is an abundance of fire related items; wood fired hot tub, wood fired pizza oven and separate fire pit to sit around whilst watching the sun go down. We really enjoyed our stay at Tor View Shepherds Huts and want to thank Phil and Mandy for making us feel so welcome!

This is our first experience with staying in a Shepherd Hut and it was great. Although space was very small but we had everything we needed, was well designed and was more than adequate. Including the outside space as well there was plenty of room. The hot tub was also excellent, even thou it took some time to get ready. However once it reached the required temperature it maintained it for hours. The location was peaceful and tranquil. Perfect for relaxation which we needed. It was close to anything that we required. Phil was excellent. He answered any queries we had. He also mentioned the Wells Market day which we went along to and although small it was quite interesting. Wells is a very interesting place - well worth visiting. Overall we recommend Lens Shepherd Hut to anyone who wants some relaxing time. We hope to one day stay there again.
What an amazing place to stay. Cosy, romantic and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Thoughtful touches and the views... just WOW! we will definitley be back. Thank you Tor view and our hut Len!

Me and my partner stayed in the Len hut and we absolutely loved it. To be honest, we did not really know what to expect from the place as never had done this sort of holiday before. It was our first glamping experience. Well, Len did not disappoint us, we had an amazing 2-night stay. Len had all you would want for a comfy stay: fully fitted kitchen with fridge, 2-ring hob and oven, hot and cold water sink, utensils.. not to mention cutlery, mugs and even colander and measuring jug (!); shower room and WC; table and chairs; double bed with proper mattress; and radio, tv/ dvd player and wi-fi, should you wish to stay connected with the world. Must admit that we sort of had to adapt ourselves to the fact that everything was compact, then you realise that you are not there for your usual mod cons, but for peace and quiet, magnificent views, each other’s company...Overlooking the stunning Somerset countryside and Glastonbury Tor in the distance, it felt very much secluded staying in Len. Outside, there was everything we needed for relaxation: small table and chairs (perfect for your morning coffee), parasol, day bed/ bench and large table for some proper feast, fire pit (we very much enjoyed it late evenings), candles, bucket cooler with bottle opener (important, eh!), and...... wood-fired hot tub (did not get a chance to use it though).Also, have to mention an intricate decor of Len, including various attributes, both inside and outside the hut, that make you associated with the place: books, maps, photographs, vintage suitcases, stoneware flagons, rustic wooden boxes...If you are considering booking Len, do not hesitate at all - it has everything you would want for a perfectly nice and relaxing sojourn. As for the area, there are plenty of places to visit: Wells, Mendip Hills AONB - Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole, Montacute House, Tintinhull Garden, Barrington Court and, of course, Thatchers Cider, plus many more.
