Duck's Puddle Shepherd's Hut

Top marks for this amazing place. The owners were lovely people. Nothing was too much trouble. The hut was beautiful. Bed comfy. Everything you needed in the hut. The hot tub brilliant. Clean and checked everyday. Beautiful setting. So peaceful. Only noises are the cows snd birds. Some lovely fresh eggs and bottles of wine from the owners. Lots of lovely walks around. Will definitely be back!

A very nice stay. Welcoming us was sue to help us settle in. We enjoyed the isolation and setting, ideal to walk on the quantock hills. The garden was enclosed allowing our dog to wander freely and interact with the cows over the fence. Hot tub was lovely to relax in after a day out. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic location private setting. Great hut. Hot tub and fire pit. Little extras were a lovely touch. Sue the host is fab

Duck Puddle is a quiet, relaxed and private Shepherds Hut that is dog friendly and safe. It has a fully enclosed green space with a lovely hot tub and views across the neighbouring field of cows (friendly and nosey!), rabbits (shy) and the wooded Quantocks less than 5 minutes walk away. The local wildlife is fun to watch whilst loitering at your outside dining space with a G and T in the evening. The hut itself is fully equipped with all you need(Fridge, cooker, shower, wc, bed etc) and is very well appointed and comfortable throughout. Don't be surprised if you find the local chickens wandering around outside your hut at times as they do like to visit. The hosts Sue and Terry are friendly, informative and chatty and you may find little gifts such as freshly laid eggs left outside or even fresh figs and do ask Terry about his cider although be warned it will knock your socks off! We had the opportunity to assist in feeding the cows and even got to bottle feed baby goats whilst admiring the large duck pond. It is quite idyllic. We had a wonderful relaxed week and returned home fully chilled and recharged and we will certainly return in the future. Did I mention the goats?

Amazing hosts, beautiful setting, Sue and Terry very friendly and funny, Terry's sheep sheering skills gave us no end of pleasure. Will definitely go again.

Very clean and quiet place to stay owners very nice and make sure you have everything you need for your stay

This property surpassed our expectations. Sue and Terry were very welcoming and helpful; they provided so many extra touches that made our stay wonderful. We cannot wait to go back!

We loved staying here, the location was amazing and great if you want a quiet get away! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful holiday.

I picked Ducks puddle for my other half as a Christmas treat for our holiday break in February. I would say for sure I was being very picky as it needed to tick so many boxes and when we arrived I was so impressed even in the winter weather the pictures on the classic cottages website did not do the idyllic little hut justice. It has literally everything you could possibly need and more! Firstly the underfloor heating, was luxurious. But we couldn’t wait to get the fire going as we don’t have one at home and it was one of the reasons why I picked this beautiful place…. ‘While sat in bed evening or morning over looking a log burner in action!’ We knew we were here to chill too so it was a must to relax with a hot tub, and we used it every night… no matter the weather with it’s under canopy it was just perfect!! The kitchen does. Have everything although we only used it for breakfast mainly, and an added surprise of fresh eggs was a total delight… all 6 went in one sitting!! obi dog get his share too!! I can not rate this place enough and I will for sure be updating a review later online and telling many of our friends and colleagues how perfect this place is as a getaway from everything (even though we are from Cornwall and that isn’t quite hustle and bustle of major city life) ! This place was just magic and we will be returning!!

Thank you so much Sue and Terry for being so welcoming and lovely. With showing us how everything worked and the little treats left and the eggs!! Terry thank you for showing us the Hobbits hut and that lovely walk up to the old school past the massive oak tree of 900 years old!!

Thank you again! We will definitely like to return

Lovely stay, a very homely shepherd's hut. Stove goes really well and we were lovely and warm. Some fantastic woodland walks nearby.

Highly recommend

Very cosy, the owners have thought of everything. A lovely welcome. Great for a break away. A truly good holiday experience.

Lovely spot to relax and unwind.

Fantastic place, great for a relaxing mini break.

The location is perfect. Behind the working farm but well thought out with separate drive and totally secluded. Fantastic view and cows munching on the grass in the field in front of us. Totally idyllic. Owner is great, nothing too much trouble. Wine and chocolates on arrival, great touch. So many nice touches in accommodation.

The property did not dissapoint in any way great hosts and very clean great hot tub all round excellent experience

We had an amazing stay here! So welcoming and very relaxing. They had thought of everything! We hope to go back one day :)

Sue and Terry were fantastic hosts, and gave us a good welcome. This is the best 'glamping' site I have ever experienced, a true luxury shepherd's hut! The hot tub was incredibly effective and modern and was a joy to soak in every evening before dinner. I can't fault it at all, and would love to return for a longer stay next time.

We really enjoyed our stay at Ducks Puddle. It had the peace and tranquility we were looking for and the hut itself is well appointed and we didn't want for anything. There is also a small bbq. Sue and Terry were lovely hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. The location is great, right on the doorstep of the Quantock Hills and there are nice views of the countryside from the hot tube! Plenty of nice pubs around to visit, with the New Inn at Halse probably the best food, and the nearby Foxy Bean cafe for coffee and cake is a must before/after a walk.

Thank you to the wonderful hosts who were kind enough to leave delicious snacks and wine for our arrival and advice about places to visit. We really enjoyed this much needed relaxing break!

The location was perfect for a get away weekend. The Hot tub , and wood burner were the icing on the cake . The surrounding woodlands and traditional country villages were amazing too go too and walk around . I will definitely be booking a holiday for Summer 2021

Everything we could have wished for we got at the shepherds hut and the views around were amazing

The property was lovely, we had an amazing view of the surrounding fields and the hut backed onto a field of friendly calves! The hut was exceptionally clean, and we had everything we needed including tea, coffee, pots and pans and the owners gave us fresh eggs from their farm. Would highly recommend a stay here!

Our stay at Duck Puddle was amazing we can’t say Thankyou enough, from the moment we arrived Sue & Terry we’re very welcoming. we had a bottle of wine, biscuits & chocolates in the hut and then the following morning we had some fresh eggs yum yum. We arranged for our food delivery the evening we arrived & Sue was more than happy to direct them to where we were staying. There was everything you could think you would need even a hairdryer (great as I forgot mine), wood for the fires, bbq coal and even doggy towels, the bed was very comfortable and waking up in the morning with the view over the fields was amazing, The hot tub was an added bonus which we used every night overall a fantastic holiday we can’t wait to go back

A beautiful place to stay in a comfortable, cosy property. Beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. Friendly and welcoming owners who were there if you needed anything.

This really was the perfect getaway for a few days. This stunning shepherd's hut is tucked away in the middle of nowhere, and it really was absolute bliss - we just wished we could have stayed longer! The host was lovely, and had baked us some delicious cupcakes upon our arrival and left a bottle of wine chilling in the fridge. Such generous touches. Each and every detail had been thought of, and even though the weather precluded any extended enjoyment of the outside table and chairs, the accommodation was magical.

The shepherd's hut and setting were exactly as presented in the photos. What we didn't expect were so many thoughtful touches, from his and hers crocs for walking to the hot tub to fresh eggs for breakfast. Absolutely everything had been considered from the guests' point of view making this a truly comfortable and enjoyable stay.

It was a really good holiday ,it was peaceful ,Terry and Sue were very good hosts ,the shepherds hut was equipped with every thing that you need. On arrival we were given a bottle of wine cakes and fresh eggs biscuits,and chocolates. I don't think that we could find a better place to stay with a Hot Tub to finish the days off ...Hope to book the shepherds hut next year 10 out of 10

Had a brilliant week in the Shepherds hut. Would absolutely stay again and recommend to anyone!

This was a last minute booking just what I was looking to find for my wife as a surprise peaceful break. Boy did it deliver ! she was over the moon with its charm & peacefulness. I can say it was even better than I had hoped for doing far more than it said on the Tin ! We were so sold on the Shepherd's hut & loved the hot tub evenings … we wont our own .. but you`d be pushed to find a more suitable spot to relax away from everything that stresses you out. Sue was lovely and welcoming making sure we were comfortable but respecting our privacy. We will certainly be going back to Ducks Puddle

Simply ideal many thanks to Sue & Terry for making it possible.

An overall perfect escape to the country. A very peaceful and beautiful place to unwind from everyday life. We would go back in a flash.

We had the best time at Duck's Puddle, it is just the most perfect place for a couple and their dog. We were incredibly lucky with the weather - the sun did not stop shining - and went on some fabulous walks, some straight from the hut up into the Quantock Hills, some a little drive further into the Quantock Hills (we parked at the nearby Lydeard Hill car park and explored Wills Neck and beyond) and also ventured onto the Brendon Hills of Exmoor via the sweet village of Luxborough - all were absolutely beautiful. We spent the late afternoons chilling in the garden and the evenings relaxing in the hot tub under the stars. Definitely have the holiday blues now and can't wait to go back!

Perfect retreat for a relaxing getaway! Hosts lovely, shepherds hut beautifully decorated and maintained!

Fantastic hosts an awesome place

Ducks Puddle far exceeded our expectations, everything had been thought of and the little extras (wine and cakes!) left by the owners made it feel like a real home from home. Best long weekend ever. Immaculately clean and lots of nice touches like the underfloor heating and USB chargers in the sockets. Very well equipped kitchen and a lovely bathroom. Think I could've stayed forever.

We were looking for absolute peace and relaxation and that is what we found. Everything was exactly as expected ... and then some. The owners have thought of everything and provided lots of little unexpected extras and were extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommend if you need a break from a busy life.

The owners Sue and Terry were fantastic, so helpful and welcoming! The shepherds hut was perfect, no complaints at all, everything exceeded our expectations and we would love to return!

Such a beautiful place to stay! Highly recommended to anyone that wants a few days away!! We can’t wait to go back!!
