Our reviews say it all! We have been welcoming guests to Avon Farm since 2016. This is one of four beautifully hand crafted, bespoke shepherds huts by the renowned Greendown Shepherds hut. New for 2021 and comes with your own private, screened hot tub, fire pit, BBQ stand (just bring your own disposable BBQ) and log burner in the hut. The hut also has heating, shower room, gas hob and microwave. Set on a 230 acre farm, along the river Avon, with plenty of pubs within walking distance.

The space
The ultimate romantic rural retreat for couples. Idyllically located looking out over the fields that line the River Avon and beautiful rolling green hills. Accommodating 2 guests (no infants or children under 11 allowed), the Shepherds Hut is split into a curtained sleeping compartment, a kitchenette/dining area with wood burner and a door leading into a separate bathroom with a walk-in shower, WC and washbasin. Outside, guests have plenty of open space to relax and soak up the views, and enjoy the hot tub and fire pit. There is also a BBQ stand ready for you, please bring a disposable BBQ tray. Sorry but we do not allow pets or young children or infants in our shepherds huts.

Guest access
Avon Farm Estate is an established 5 star luxury family holiday setting since 2016. We've learnt a lot along the way, and can now offer a range of superb luxury, modern accommodations. Set within our 230-acre arable farm, The shepherd hut is one of our four shepherds huts and joins our other outstanding cottages all decorated to a very high standard.

There are goats and chickens on the farm, so if you are up early enough, you can help yourself to some fresh eggs or wander around the stables!

Avon Farm is a suitable for family's or quiet groups. I am sorry but we do not allow parties, including hen or stag, or other events.

Once you have settled into the shepherds hut you can decide what you want to do, probably a mix of relaxing in your comfortable space and testing out the hot tub, enjoying the flora and fauna surrounding the farm and just soaking up the atmosphere. However, if you wish to explore, you can walk around the Farm and meeting our animals or taking a stroll along the Avon River to the local pub on the riverbank. Or for the more active, you can hire a bicycle from us and head down the cycle path, which was once the old train track, to either Bath or Bristol – only 2 minutes from your accommodation. Both cities are full of interesting places to visit and activities for all ages!

The property is also close to Saltford Sailing Club and Saltford Golf Club. Surrounded by open countryside, the village of Saltford is also known for its history and has a conservation area, with a restored brass mill (dating to 1720), a Norman manor house and a church with a Saxon tower. Just 6 miles away (15 min drive) is the vibrant heritage city of Bath, which boasts the famous Roman baths, Thermae Bath spa, and the famous Royal Crescent, one of Bath’s most iconic landmarks. There are also several National Trust areas nearby, including Dyrham Park and Stourhead House.

Avon Farm rules: respect the 10mph limit around the farm and please keep to the 20mph limit on Avon Lane.

Other things to note
This is a working farm, with agricultural vehicles and animals, so please always take care of movements.
