Inside, the space has been thoughtfully laid out, featuring a charming bioethanol-burning stove, a comfortable sitting area, and a clever flip-up bed that maximises the space without sacrificing comfort. The hut also includes a compact but well-equipped kitchenette and a stylish en-suite shower room. Outside, guests can unwind in a private hot tub or enjoy alfresco dining in the beautifully kept garden area, all set against a backdrop of uninterrupted rural views.
Located just outside Ilminster, at the foot of the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the hut is a perfect base for walkers and nature lovers. There are numerous scenic trails right on your doorstep, including routes through Combe St Nicholas and up to Neroche Forest, where ancient hill forts and woodland paths await. For a more challenging walk, head to Staple Hill – one of the highest points in the Blackdowns – and take in sweeping views across Somerset. The area is rich with wildlife, from deer to buzzards, and offers ample opportunities for photography or peaceful contemplation.
A short drive brings you to the market town of Ilminster, with its charming high street, historic Minster church, and an array of independent cafes and shops. Slightly further afield, Barrington Court and Forde Abbey make for excellent day trips, with beautiful gardens and historic architecture. Whether you’re looking to explore the rolling hills or relax in tranquil surroundings, this hidden gem is a perfect country escape for all.
