One-Off Feature

The grandest hut in a collection of luxurious and lakeside shepherd’s huts on an organic farm in rural Somerset.  Beautiful views, a private hot tub, a woodland sauna and super stylish interiors.  The perfect place for a honeymoon or a romantic escape with a loved one.

General Info

Rural, remote and romantic, this collection of luxurious shepherd huts are a perfect escape from the busy-ness of day to day life. Spacious, stylish and well equipped, they have cosy interiors, are in a glorious lakeside setting, walking trails on your doorstep and are just half an hour from the beaches of the Jurassic coast.

The Area Surrounding The Property / Accommodation

In the next village of Hinton St George (about a mile away and easily accessible by bike or on foot), you will find the award-winning Lord Poulett Arms. With flagstone floors, low beams and open fires, it ticks every box for a traditional country pub. Two miles east is Crewkerne, a market town offering supermarkets, shops, cafes and an indoor pool and gym complex. The pretty town of Lyme Regis, with its boutiques and second hand book shops, is a 30 minute drive, and West Bay & Bridport, famous for being the gateway to the Jurassic Coast, is the same distance. The beach at West Bay is stunning and Bridport itself has everything from cafes and vintage shops to an independent cinema. The coastline and countryside is waiting to be explored - walk a stretch of the coast path, go windsurfing, fishing and rock climbing in Weymouth, or visit one of the many historic houses and gardens like Montacute House, Forde Abbey, and Abbotsbury Swannery.
There are loads of places to eat and drink in the area - try the Lord Poulett Arms in Hinton St George, the River Cottage Canteen in Axminster, the Hive Beach Café in Burton Bradstock, the Hix oyster and fish house in Lyme Regis, The Wild Garlic in Beaminster, the Phoenix Bakery in Weymouth, or the Olive Tree Restaurant in Bridport.
