Your own private retreat with cosy furnished Hobbit House and quirky features set in your own large private mature gardens. You have an outdoor under cover kitchen with sink and gas hob and prep area, fridge, campfire with tripod grill. You have you're own flushing toilet and hot shower. You have your own entrance to the garden. The house is approx 3x3m. We provide cutlery, cooking utensils and wood for the log burner and campfire. There is an electric socket in the house next to the bed suitable for charging purposes. Arrival 3pm and vacate by noon. The surrounding Somerset Levels aren’t just out in the sticks – they also produce them. Willow cane has been cultivated the traditional way in this part of the county for hundreds of years and can be seen growing within a mile of 5 Acres. The Levels are also a wildlife haven, making them an all-round top choice for country walks along the many trails nearby. And while this may be a rural retreat, it's also one that's easy to get to as it's just off the A378 (no winding country lanes to negotiate for this one…) Taunton town centre, with its wide range of shops and supermarkets, is a 15-minute drive away. The closest pub and coffee shop are five minutes away by road. Access is across our campsite which is flat grass. During wet periods it can get slippery so if conditions are against us for your stay, we'll come up with a plan on the day.Your own private space. The cosy furnished Hobbit House has quirky features, set in your own large mature private gardens. You have an outdoor sink and gas hob, campfire with grill and flushing loo. Showers are in the adjacent camping field. You have your own entrance to the garden so you can come and go as you wish. The Hobbit House is approx 3x3m with a 6mx4.5m covered cooking and dinning area. We provide bedding, cutlery, cooking utensils and wood for the log burner and campfire. There's an electric socket in the house next to the bed suitable for charging purposes. Please note that this space is not child friendly, so grownups only. Arrival 3pm and vacate by noon.

The perfect break away…again
Hobbit House
Second time back at the hobbit house…and we’re already planning our third. Such a peaceful, back to nature break away. Everything you need and no distractions. The house, kitchen area, toilet and new shower block are perfect for those who want a genuinely outdoors break away. Loved it.

The Hobbit House - incredible!
Hobbit House
Lost for words. The Hobbit House and accompanying grounds kept us warm, secluded and very happy for a three night stay. Although we would happily move in permanently. Worth a visit if you’re looking for somewhere secluded, off the beaten track and something back to basics. Kitchen area is beautifully simple in design and appreance. Toilet and separate shower block were clean and easy to use. The Hobbit House itself was snug, beautifully decorated and peaceful. Theo was an excellent host too. We will be back!

Totally chilled, fire camp out.

Hobbit House
What an absolute lovely little spot. Throughly enjoyed our two night stay. The undercover bit enables you to enjoy the space whatever the weather! And we had some weather. But sat cozy with a fire and blankets, drinking wine and reading was just the ticket. No signal or WiFi for the totally unplugged experience. Amazing little secret garden too… we wondered around there a couple times each day! Great circular walk across fields and droves to the pub. Throughly recommend.

A magical place ✨️
With pets ·
Hobbit House
Such an amazing place, it was exactly what I needed in a last minute getaway. The cabin is tucked away in a separate garden and has everything you need for a truly magical stay to disconnect from the rat-race! I can't recommend this place enough and Theo was a lovely host making me, and the pooch, feel at home straight away. I can't wait to go back. Thanks for having us!
