Uber-stylish cabin with alfresco tub, hot tub and sauna, hidden away on a farm. One for romantics.
Space & setting.
Can’t decide between a hideaway with an alfresco bath or hot tub? Book one with both — and a private sauna too! Bang on the border of Somerset, Devon and Dorset border, this organic farm is home to a clutch of incredible hideouts — and this is the absolute star of the show. Ridiculously beautiful interiors plus an outdoor spa just for you two; could it be more romantic? Strung with fairylights and full of lovely detail (heated blankets, local cider as a welcome), there’s a private garden with a firepit to toast marshmallows and star gaze (night skies here are enormous) plus an indoor and outdoor kitchen, so you can mosy between ‘proper’ cooking or easy meals in the pizza oven / on the BBQ. Really, there’s everything you need to stay a very long time. The fields around are home to wild deer; beautiful to watch. And the Lord Poullett Arms, one of our favourite-ever gastro pubs, is just 20 mins’ walk away – plus a moonlit stroll home. The Jurassic Coast is an easy drive for beautiful beaches (Burton Bradstock, famous West Bay), and Bridport’s independents are great for a mooch. If you’re looking for a special occasion place, this would be very hard to top!
Getting here: drive or taxi to Crewkerne then taxi (2 miles)
“We’ve been working to create this beautiful organic farm for 3 generations. When travelling the world, I was so inspired by all of the incredible properties I encountered in nature that when I returned home I worked with a natural building company for 5 years before setting up this glamping site with my brother on the family farm.” Owner Paul

Sustainability.
The farm generates 50kw of its electricity through solar PV, and has its own spring water borehole that supplies the properties. The lodge itself is an eco builds, and clad in locally milled cedar and larch.
Surrounds.
- Woodland and countryside walks are all around.
- This area is a hotspot for brilliant restaurants: 20 mins’ walk away is the superb Lord Poullett Arms, all beamed ceilings and log fires (and an amazing dark chocolate truffle with hazelnut and sea salt ice cream). Or taxi to F.east in Ilminster (fantastic veggie food) and The Trading Post (a quirky railway carriage restaurant).
- ‘Gateway to the Jurassic Coast’, Bridport is home to vintage shops, tiny independent galleries and a Saturday farmers’ and artists’ market.
- Go for brunch at Hive Café at Burton Bradstock then walk along the beautiful beach and coastal path round to West Bay, with its golden cliffs, the setting for Broadchurch.
- We love Lyme Regis, a curve of pastel Georgian houses and the famous Cobb Harbour. Get a Baboo gelato while you’re here, locally made, their Flu Buster sorbet is a thing of beauty – lemon and orange juice, honey, ginger and cayenne.
- The owner recommends a day trip to the idyllic village of Abbotsbury with its ruined Abbey, Tithe barn and subtropical gardens.
