    “We had the most wonderful stay at Shephard’s Retreat in Charlton Mackrell and honestly couldn’t recommend it more!”

    From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed and relaxed. The setting is peaceful and beautiful, a true countryside escape. The place was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Our toddler absolutely loved it, especially getting the chance to feed the chickens with Phil, such a special experience for a little one. Phil was so lovely, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. He made us feel right at home and went above and beyond to make sure we had ...

Phil was so lovely, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. He made us feel right at home and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We also really enjoyed the delicious fresh bread that Maureen made, such a thoughtful touch and absolutely lovely! Everything about Shephard’s Retreat felt special. It’s clear a lot of care and thought goes into making guests feel welcome. We made some lovely memories as a family and can’t wait to return again soon.

With views over the owner's carefully-tended gardens and a little village lane, this attractive apartment has been thoughtfully furnished and equipped with everything you need for self-catering experience!

There's character sloping ceilings but ample headroom for taller guests, a super well-equipped kitchen area, with an adjacent breakfast bar, as well as dining and sitting areas, all attractively decorated and imaginatively set out, together with a plush bedroom with a king-size double bed and a super shower.

A really lovely base to return to after your adventurous days out!

Outside, you can enjoy sipping a glass of your favourite tipple on your private patio or stroll around the owner's much admired gardens.

There's lots to see and do within an easy drive of your Charlton Mackrell holiday base, from the nearby lovely walled gardens of Lytes Cary, exploring the pretty town of Somerton, once the ancient capital of Wessex, to ancient Glastonbury and beautiful Montacute House and gardens.
