Bradley Cross Farm, Shepherds Cottage

The location and the hosts were incredible and exactly what we needed for our weekend away. The view from the cottage exceeded our expectations and we loved meeting Tess & Meg as well!

My son and I had a super stay in the cottage during a two-day visit to the Avalon marches for birding. We were warmly welcomed by Judy and Paul and their friendly dogs and, despite the blustery, wet weather when we arrived, were very warm and cosy inside. The kitchen is well equiped and the shower lovely and hot. Woodburner lovely to come back to after a day out. Magnificant views over cheddar. Would love to stay again.

Yes it was welcomed pet's shops in cheddar

The owners of the farm are very friendly but I feel that the cottage needs a little TLC to bring it up to standard. I am a little slow on my feet and I feel there ought to be some mention of the steep steps to the front door can be quite slippy although there is a well positioned handle to help. Through no fault of the owners we had very heavy rain throughout most of our stay and the ground in front of the cottage and path at the rear were very slippery. The view is fantastic but it is such a shame that there is a broken down old car to the left of the cottage slightly blocking the view and having some effect on parking which is very narrow and slippery to drive into and get out of the car. Internally it was a little disappointing with paintwork dirty and holed (bathroom door).Due to the heavy rain the front wall had significant damp halfway up in the kitchen.The lounge/bedroom window is single glazed and draughty.The 'cooker' was two electric rings and a microwave and the dining area a small square table with two folding chairs. The bathroom was basic, the shower excellent but again at the window a net curtain pinned up with rusty drawing pins. The log burner was very welcome but small, the front door of the log burner difficult to close which was a little worrying as the beds are in the same room.The beds are the top and bottom of a bunk bed but quite comfortable.Kitchen utensils were usable.The whole cottage became very cold in night without the burner.
