We offer luxury country getaways for 2 adults in our handcrafted oak shepherd huts nestled in the picturesque parkland of our historic family estate in Somerset.

Fully self-catering with kitchen, bathroom and double bed our Shepherd huts ‘Stanley and Livingstone’ are available all year around. You can see the changing seasons through the window whilst relaxing next to a wood-burning stove in winter or watch the sunset while sitting out cooking over the fire pit in Summer. Each Hut comes with it’s own exclusive 2 person wood-fired hot tub and pizza oven / Fire pit.
