Shepherd’s hut holidays in Somerset

Tap into the mythical magic that floats on the breeze in Somerset by staying in a snug, stylish shepherd’s hut perched in the rolling hills. Stock up on local vintage cheddar and settle in for a few days of good living as you explore sandy beaches, deep gorges and wild moorland. In the evenings, kick back on the deck of your cosy hut with a Somerset cider and admire the scenic landscape, steeped in Arthurian legend and punctuated with Georgian splendour. Our guests flock like west country sheep to our beautifully adorned shepherd’s huts so book yours now and don’t miss out.

You’ll feel a tingle of excitement every morning as you throw open the front door to be greeted with huge views of green fields, bursting with wildlife.
