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.

A lovely break away to recharge.
No need to pack body wash, shampoo & conditioner as provided
In addition to the hot tub being warm & ready, it was lovely to be welcomed with cider, wine, milk & yummy homemade brownies

We had never stayed in a hut before so i booked it for my partners 30th and we had such a relaxing experience. The owners where amazing and provided everything you need. The views are beautiful along with the sheep and lambs as your neighbours. Couldn’t of asked for better. Everyone needs to experience this hut. Make sure you get in the hot tub and star gaze. Or wait for sunrise. Thankyou again Nick & Sally. We will definitely be returning ...

Everything was perfect. Peaceful farm with a few horses and sheep as company. Lovely pub locally. So nice to sit outside by the fire and in the hot tub

The Whistle was a perfect city getaway, filled with everything you could need for a relaxing weekend trip and more. The pizza oven and hot tub were the perfect addition to the property, very easy to use and very fun. The host was super nice and really helpful with getting us settled. 10/10 would recommend and we are eager to return....
