The cosy Shepherd's Hut with Hot Tub sits in the corner of a traditional Somerset cider orchard steeped in local history and myth. Attached to the Priests House, a resting place for monks on pilgrimage from Sherborne Abbey to Glastonbury, the orchard sits at the foot of Cadbury Castle, rumoured to be the mystical site of King Arthur’s Camelot.

 

The interior is simple, Rustic Luxe at its best, paired with luxury bedding, a chic kitchenette and ensuite shower room. Enjoy the wood-fired hot-tub overlooking the orchard— so romantic. Visit the renowned gardens of the Newt, the bustling markets of Castle Cary and Sherborne, or the award-winning restaurants of Bruton.

 

Or just stay rural: take in the views over to Glastonbury Tor from the top of Cadbury Castle, hike the Monarchs Way, cycle across the Somerset Levels, stopping to admire the landscape and sample the delicious local cheeses, cider and produce on offer.
