Bradley Cross Farm, Shepherds Cottage

High on the Mendip Hills, sits a stone cottage on a working farm, with breathtaking views over the Somerset Levels. The cottage was built around 1850 and was formerly occupied by the local shepherd grazing his sheep on this area of the Mendip Hills. Today the land is grazed by the traditional breeds of Longhorn Cattle and Wiltshire Horn Sheep, well suited to managing the natural grassland on the farm. Cheddar Gorge, Site of Special Scientific Interest, lies to the north of the farm and Mascalls’ Wood, an ancient woodland, lies to the west. Cheddar village and local shops are a distance of about 1 mile from the cottage. Ideal for walkers and close to the Mendip Way.

Cosy, compact property overlooking Cheddar and the Somerset Levels. We found the property to be ideal for our short stay with excellent walking direct from the cottage. Paul and Judy were very helpful and made us welcome, helping with any info required. The farm dogs (Meg & Tess) were friendly and interacted well with our dog (Ralph). My advice would be to ensure you thoroughly read the directions to find the property, and your vehicle needs a degree of power to navigate the route to the cottage. However once reached the views are stunning from this small, quirky but comfortable property

Paul was very easy to work with prior to trip and a delight in person. The converted barn has all the ingredients for a restful retreat nestled in a beautiful farm looking out over Cheddar and surrounds. We had a great time with hosts that got the balance right between friendly and helpful and leaving us to do our own thing. Would be back in a flash if Australia wasn’t so far away.

2 day family visit

This accommodation was perfect for my partner and I who needed to be in Cheddar with our dog for a couple of nights. The accommodation was as pictured, the shower was hot and powerful, the kitchen had 2 electric hob rings/microwave and fridge. All the required utensils for simple cooking, tea, coffee and sugar . Logs for the wood burner were also provided.

Lovely farm stay

We enjoyed staying in Paul and Judy’s shepherd hut. It is small and cozy and had everything we needed. The farm is open and has wonderful walking trails up to the top of the hill and over looking the gorge. We saw the cows and sheep Doug had a great visit with Paul, learning about the rare cows and sheep they raise. Be sure to get some local eggs and Jam from the farm- we were sad to realize we could have had fresh eggs after we bought some in town! Highly recommend this as a place to stay and enjoy the Cheddar area!

Cosy, rustic cottage on the hills

Excellent secluded spot outside and overlooking Cheddar, out in wide open fields within a minute and up to the gorge in about 15. Rustic, cosy little house with all the essentials and a stocked wood burner. Friendly host and dogs! Also had a small milk in the fridged stocked when we arrived which was a nice touch. 2 single beds might not be up all couples' streets, but well worth it otherwise.

Small cost cottage at the top of the hill over looking Cheddar. The view is stunning. Judy and Paul are very welcoming to their small farm and it’s a great base to visit the local area especially if you are a walker or you want peace and quiet. Plenty of places to eat locally. Thankyou.

A real gem, cosy, comfortable, fab location, lovely hosts

We had a very lovely stay. The Shepherds hut has everything you need for a relaxing stay, location, views, facilities and very welcoming and kind hosts. We really enjoyed the tranquility and the abundance of unspoilt nature and wildlife at the property and beyond. We were warmly greeted on our arrival, parked our vehicle and there it stayed until we had to leave ( didn't want too!) Great local area to explore on foot, with lots of helpful information and tips from Paul who made us feel very welcome including our little four legged rascal .A big thank you and we very much look forward to returning

Basically Brilliant

Paul and Judy have an ideal retreat waiting for you to enjoy a peaceful exploration of the area. The cottage sits atop a hill with a glorious view to enjoy after a days walking in the hills and woods. The accommodation is basic but perfectly comfortable and has all you need for a break from the everyday pressures of normal life. The shower has real power to wake you up too. Paul and Judy a very hospitable and are unobtrusively available should you require help. Their two dogs are extremely friendly. All in all a very good choice for a stay in the area and we thank you for looking after us so well.

Amazing stay

We spent a wonderful 2 night stay here. Paul and Judy and their 3 dogs are lovely and made us feel so welcome and comfortable. The shepherd hut is great with lots of character. You are left a large supply of free logs for the fire which makes the place feel so cosy, told if you run out to just leave the basket outside and it will be filled up again for you. On arrival they told us the history of the hut which was fascinating. Kitchen is small but with all the basic equipment you will need You feel like your way out in the country but it’s only a 5 min drive from cheddar town and a few mins more to the gorge. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway I would highly recommend it. It’s also a great base for walking
