Escape to a peaceful, luxury shepherd’s hut overlooking the Somerset Levels, perfect for couples seeking a romantic countryside break. This cosy retreat blends rustic charm with thoughtful modern touches, creating an intimate space where you can slow down, reconnect and truly unwind.

Inside, you’ll find a luxury fixed king‑size bed positioned to take in the sweeping Somerset Levels views. A handcrafted oak dining table for two sits beside the window, and with the door open you can enjoy uninterrupted views of the countryside — and, in the warmer months, watch the Miniature Shetland Ponies grazing in the front paddock as you dine. In the evenings, unwind beside the log burner with firewood provided for the duration of your stay, or relax with your favourite films on the Smart TV.

The ensuite shower room includes underfloor heating and a heated towel rail for an added touch of indulgence. Soft towels, plush bathrobes and comfy slippers are provided, so you can feel pampered from the moment you arrive.

To make your mornings extra special, a complimentary breakfast pack is included along with tea, coffee, milk and other essentials, perfect for a slow, relaxed start to the day.

The compact kitchen area is fully equipped for easy meals, with a combi oven, gas hob, fridge, kettle and toaster. In the warmer months, the front paddock comes alive with Miniature Shetland Ponies grazing quietly, a magical sight that adds to the charm of your countryside stay.

This tranquil hideaway is known for its sweeping outlook across the Somerset Levels. When you’re ready to explore, you’ll find iconic destinations close by, including Glastonbury Tor, Wells Cathedral and the historic town of Street. For adventure, Cheddar Gorge offers dramatic landscapes and cave exploration. Prefer a slower pace? Wander through Millennium Wood or climb Turn Hill, a nearby National Trust viewpoint with stunning scenery. Local walking maps are provided inside the hut.

We welcome one well‑behaved dog for a small fee, and occasionally two small dogs depending on size and breed — please get in touch to discuss. Returning dogs stay free on future visits. Bowls, towels, poop bags and treats are provided to help your four‑legged friend feel right at home.

Just a mile away, Bere Cider Company offers a relaxed, dog‑friendly atmosphere with local ciders, a cosy café and regular events. A little further afield, The Halfway House in Pitney crowned South West CAMRA Pub of the Year 2023 serves real ales, homemade food and welcomes dogs warmly. It’s the perfect spot for a romantic evening by the fire.

Nature lovers will find plenty to explore within a six‑mile radius, including RSPB Ham Wall, RSPB Greylake, Shapwick Moor and the Avalon Marshes Centre. These reserves offer unique ecosystems and unforgettable wildlife experiences, making the area a paradise for couples who love the outdoors.

Travelling with friends? We also offer a second hut, Romantic Shepherd Hut | Private Hot Tub Retreat
- listed separately on VRBO. Book both huts to enjoy a countryside getaway together each with its own private space and wood-fired hot tub, ideal for couples who want to share the experience while still enjoying their own privacy.
