Bradley Cross Farm, Shepherds Cottage

High on the Mendip Hills, sits a stone cottage on a working farm, with breathtaking views over the Somerset Levels. The cottage was built around 1850 and was formerly occupied by the local shepherd grazing his sheep on this area of the Mendip Hills. Today the land is grazed by the traditional breeds of Longhorn Cattle and Wiltshire Horn Sheep, well suited to managing the natural grassland on the farm. Cheddar Gorge, Site of Special Scientific Interest, lies to the north of the farm and Mascalls’ Wood, an ancient woodland, lies to the west. Cheddar village and local shops are a distance of about 1 mile from the cottage. Ideal for walkers and close to the Mendip Way.
During your stay at this cottage, you're just a quick walk from Cheddar Crazy Golf. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the cottage.
  • The cottage offers a kitchen, a fireplace, and a fenced yard
  • Free WiFi
  • Within a 10-minute walk of Cheddar Crazy Golf and The Cheddar Gorge Cheese Co.
This cottage offers its guests barbecue grills and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Cheddar cottage is smoke free.

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.

Cosy, compact property overlooking Cheddar and the Somerset Levels. We found the property to be ideal for our short stay with excellent walking direct from the cottage. Paul and Judy were very helpful and made us welcome, helping with any info required. The farm dogs (Meg & Tess) were friendly and interacted well with our dog (Ralph). My advice would be to ensure you thoroughly read the directions to find the property, and your vehicle needs a degree of power to navigate the route to the cottage. However once reached the views are stunning from this small, quirky but comfortable property

2 day family visit

This accommodation was perfect for my partner and I who needed to be in Cheddar with our dog for a couple of nights. The accommodation was as pictured, the shower was hot and powerful, the kitchen had 2 electric hob rings/microwave and fridge. All the required utensils for simple cooking, tea, coffee and sugar . Logs for the wood burner were also provided.

Exactly as described and exactly as other users have set out. Lovely little bolthole at the top of the lane on a farm with a view for days. Simple and effective. Worth going back for Paul andJudy alone, fab hosts. We will be back.

Cosy, rustic cottage on the hills

Excellent secluded spot outside and overlooking Cheddar, out in wide open fields within a minute and up to the gorge in about 15. Rustic, cosy little house with all the essentials and a stocked wood burner. Friendly host and dogs! Also had a small milk in the fridged stocked when we arrived which was a nice touch. 2 single beds might not be up all couples' streets, but well worth it otherwise.

Lovely farm stay

We enjoyed staying in Paul and Judy’s shepherd hut. It is small and cozy and had everything we needed. The farm is open and has wonderful walking trails up to the top of the hill and over looking the gorge. We saw the cows and sheep Doug had a great visit with Paul, learning about the rare cows and sheep they raise. Be sure to get some local eggs and Jam from the farm- we were sad to realize we could have had fresh eggs after we bought some in town! Highly recommend this as a place to stay and enjoy the Cheddar area!

I single mum went with my daughter to stay few days, but our terrible experience left a scar on us.. On arrival, two big dogs ran towards us jumping on us. My daughter did freeze as one dog nearly her height, jumped on her, the owner did not ask the dogs to step down. The property inside was infested with clouds of flies in our room, so I asked for assistance, the lady offered that we apply a spray, but the other owner said, "You will have to get used to it, we have them everywhere." There were also numerous of giant spiders and webs above our beds, I had to remove and clean all this, certainly not what I paid for. When tried to cook, there were also spider webs in the drinking glasses, grease and dirt on the pots etc, seem an issue of hygiene. Once the night fell, we were disturbed by loud noises from rodents above us, giving us anxiety and making it impossible to sleep. The worst was in the morning, after I politely notified the owner of my concerns and stated that I had no choice but to leave, requesting a partial refund, I was packing our belongings in the car, when the owner, approached us shouting at me with much anger, using offensive language, saying that he was “very angry” and that I would not “see my money back”. His behaviour was very threatening, he was waving and raising his arms on my face. Frightened by the owner attitude we quickly got in the car and left immediately. This was utterly unacceptable especially in front of a child, as I said left a scar on us.

Paul was very easy to work with prior to trip and a delight in person. The converted barn has all the ingredients for a restful retreat nestled in a beautiful farm looking out over Cheddar and surrounds. We had a great time with hosts that got the balance right between friendly and helpful and leaving us to do our own thing. Would be back in a flash if Australia wasn’t so far away.
