The Shepherd's Hut, Steam and Stars
With glorious views of the Quantock Hills our luxury Shepherd’s Hut provides comfort and relaxation. This pretty and stylish accommodation is well equipped for couples in mind and has a Scandinavian wood fired hot tub for you to lie back, relax and enjoy the dark starry sky.
Self contained it has it's own private shower, wash basin and toilet. A log burner keeps it nice and cozy and there is an electric radiator for extra toastiness. The kitchenette area includes a sink, large fridge, kettle, toaster and a 2 ring electric induction hob. An oak table and bench seating area converts into your extra comfy pull down double bed.
Outside you can sit and enjoy the stunning views, light a fire in the fire pit and cook on the fire pit BBQ. The wood fired hot tub is for your exclusive use and is the perfect excuse for some star gazing.
A net of logs will be provided for use in the log burner and fire pit. Logs will need to be purchased for the hot tub. We can offer a preheating service (chargeable) for your day of arrival if desired.
Guests will also have access to our shared cabin which further houses a larger kitchen sink, fridge, small freezer, kettle, toaster, microwave and a separate toilet and drying area.
