Reviews for Shave Farm
Review 1：Nothing.
Review 2：Very warm and friendly welcome, nice and quiet at night with a lovely soft and comfortable bed with possibly the best quilt I have ever slept under. On top of all that was an exceptional breakfast in the morning. Excellent venue, will definitely be staying there again.
Review 3：Excellent hosts the best that we have ever encountered - fabulous location with spotlessly clean accommodation including a fabulous home cooked breakfast - definitely worth staying if you're visiting Chard or surrounding area
Review 4：We arrived for the night to break our trip back to London from Cornwall. We were shown to the family room which was quite a surprise - a great surprise. When you walked in the door you were in a lovely living area with a table set with the continental part of breakfast as well as tea, coffee and hot chocolate. There were pitchers of milk and orange juice in the fridge. There was also a kettle, toaster and microwave. A comfortable sofa and television rounded out the room. Upstairs - the bedroom had a king sized bed and a single bed. There was also a desk with a make up mirror and a really good hair dryer inside. The bathroom was clearly recently redone. There was a shower that had great pressure and tons of hot water. We put in our order for hot breakfast the night before. It arrived exactly when requested. My partner had a veggie breakfast and I had mushrooms on toast. Both were excellent. There was fruit, bread, yogurt and spreads of all sorts as well as coffee and tea. A great start to the day. I would happily go back anytime.
Review 5：There was some noise from the main road at night but this was easily resolved by closing the door to the loo, which provided an effective buffer.
Review 6：Comfy and in a convenient location for a longer stay or a stop-off on the way to the South West. Nicely appointed room and excellent breakfast in the morning. On a real farm - you could watch the cows coming into the yard in the morning!

Review 11：There is nothing not to like about Shave Farm - the location and roomare fantastic, as is the breakfast. My mother was particularly delightedto be offered a cup of tea and biscuits when we arrived, as if we weregoing to a friend's house!I would say, the photos on the website don't do the place justice - the farm itself is beautiful.

Review 20：Everything about Shave Farm is fabulous. James and Kate were wonderful hosts and couldn't do enough for you. We booked a deluxe double room and got a suite which was first class and the breakfast was also first class. Was lovely watching the cows being milked and the calves being fed. Would highly recommend this B&B to anyone.

Review 26：Couldn't fault anything
Review 27：All the previous reviews are spot on.The hosts are very welcoming and on hand for anything you need. The accommodation is wonderful and the breakfast is lovely, the only shame was we overdid at a party and couldn't do the food justice! Can't recommend enough and trying to think of an excuse to take the kids as the garden is perfect for them to play in and they can help on the farm. 10 out of 10.

My husband is gluten free and I am a veggie but Kate went out of her way to go and purchase gluten free bread etc. it was a beautiful, warm environment and wouldn't hesitate to return.
