Amazing stay at Corner House's new Shepard's hut!

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.

I wish I'd been able to stay longer.

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.

Excellent place to stay - the hut was immaculate and had every comfort we could ask for

It was so kind of them to let us check in early, and the homemade bread was a lovely touch!

Absolutely Great!!

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..

Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022

About the host

Hosted by Host

Martyn & Marina ran a successful Bed & Breakfast for 7 years in Paros, Greece, and have returned to Somerset to offer their hospitality to visitors to the South West. They fell in love with the charm of Corner House, with its old world atmosphere, beautiful garden, thatched roof and "chocolate box" appeal. Marina is Italian and a keen cook, as well as a yoga instructor. Martyn worked for many years in the IT industry before early retirement. He is a Scuba instructor and keen home brew beer maker! Cudworth is a quiet location, but well positioned for the Jurassic Coast, Mendip Hills, and all the best sites to visit in the South West. There are plenty of local footpaths and country lanes to ramble through, with a golf course, a local country pub and the famous Perry's cider mill and museum all within walking distance. The new Swedish sauna offers a relaxing spa experience.
