Woodfire Hut

Woodfire Hut is an inviting shepherd’s hut in Wincanton, Somerset, offering countryside views, off-road parking, a woodburning stove and private wood-fired hot tub. Set within a field near Charlton Musgrove, this traditional single-storey retreat gives two guests a simple base from which to experience the Somerset countryside.

Step inside and embrace the hut’s off-grid character, with sleeping, cooking and living brought together in one studio-style space. Prepare breakfast in the kitchenette using the hob and fridge, settle at the dining area with a hot drink from the kettle, then let the landscape outside inspire the day ahead. When you return, light the woodburning stove and spend the evening beside its glow. A double bed completes the main space, while the separate shower room has a walk-in shower, basin and WC. Outside, far-reaching views unfold across the surrounding countryside. Take dinner into the garden and fire up the barbecue, or sink into the wood-fired hot tub beneath the Somerset sky.

For days away from the hut, begin in Wincanton, where you can explore Wincanton Museum, experience a day at Wincanton Racecourse, or venture beyond the town to King Alfred’s Tower for a countryside outing. Make a day of discovering Bath, wandering between the historic Roman Baths and Bath Abbey before strolling past the sweeping Georgian architecture of the Royal Crescent. Alternatively, cross into Dorset for a day together in Sherborne, where Sherborne Abbey provides an impressive introduction to the town, followed by the ruins of Sherborne Old Castle and the grounds of Sherborne Castle and Gardens. After sightseeing, return to your rural setting and browse the award-winning farm shop for local produce, beers, ciders and hand-selected wines, or pre-order a barbecue or charcuterie pack for supper. Then fire up the wood-fired hot tub and watch evening settle over the Somerset countryside at Woodfire Hut.
