Welcome to The Whistle, our luxury shepherd's hut in Somerset.
The interiors are dream-worthy.
And the outside space is truly idyllic with a wood-fired hot tub and pizza oven.
The rustic interiors create the cosiest ambience.
Al fresco cooking never looked so good.
Relax in the evening sunshine as you take in your rural surroundings.
Drift off into a sweet slumber after a day of adventures.
Just perfect.
The hidden TV is at the end of the bed and only appears as and when you wish to use it.
The wood-burner will keep you toasty at any time of year.
We love the sweet Belfast sink.
Why not light up the wood-fired pizza oven and enjoy homemade pizza during your stay?
The gorgeous interiors flow effortlessly through to the en suite shower-room.
You can also freshen up outside under the rainfall shower.
Just the most magical hideaway with all the little luxuries you could dream of.
Sink into the steamy tub and say hello to your fluffy neighbours.
A taste of Italy awaits.
Get stuck into a good book during your retreat to nature.
And soak up the summer sunshine.
You couldn't dream of a more enchanting place to stay.
You'll love the romantic view point. It's the perfect spot for a sundowner.
From dawn till dusk, The Whistle offers simple perfection.
The views surrounding your hideaway are simply spellbinding.
The Blackdown Hills can be reached in just over 20 minutes. This is Otterhead Lakes walk, a lovely circular route.
Another gorgeous walk in the Blackdown Hills is Staple Hill, where you can wander the path through ancient pines.
Barrington Court, a Tudor manor owned by the National Trust, is a short drive away.
Montacute House, another National Trust property, is also worth a visit.
Why not hop on the West Somerset Steam Railway that leaves from Bishops Lydeard?
Lyme Regis is a vibrant seaside town with some great choices when it comes to dining and can be reached in under 40 minutes by car.

Miss Reid October 2024
We had the most amazing experience at the cottage !!! The attention to detail was excellent and our host was amazing !!
But really the place was perfect and we'd definitely recommend.

I can’t recommend this place enough, it is truly amazing. Very romantic for a couple but I had 2 nights with my 12 yr old daughter and we had such a lovely time. Sitting in the hot tub chatting and laughing, making pizzas and cooking them in the pizza oven. Feeding the pet sheep and watching a beautiful sunrise it was so relaxing. Will be booking again! ...

We really loved our time at The Whistle. The hut itself was beautiful, and fully functional. While the outdoor amenities such as the hot tub, and pizza oven, really have the holiday an extra edge. It struck the perfect balance between my partners love of relaxing, and my love of stoking fires!...
