The Hobbit House

Leaping straight off the pages of Tolkien's masterworks, treat yourself to a magical subterranean escape in this remote corner of the Somerset countryside. Its cosy design makes for a wonderful retreat for couples looking to spend time together, far removed from daily distractions. In addition, the sofa bed makes it suitable for family getaways too.

Despite its diminutive size, your hosts have thoughtfully designed every interior element to ensure it includes all the usual home comforts. With refined wood panelling and bespoke cabinets made to fit the elegant curves of the interior walls, luxurious underfloor heating, plus Bluetooth speakers mounted in the ceiling, we're sure you'll agree that the result is nothing short of spectacular.

In addition to finding space for a king-size double bed, this veritable Tardis also has a full kitchen and dining area that stretches along the wall. If the weather calls for it, grab a seat on the patio, where you can dine outdoors before an indulgent sunset dip in the wood-fired hot tub.

Away from home, the stunning Somerset countryside is just calling out to be explored, so pack a picnic, wrangle your four-legged friend and tramp along the network of nearby public footpaths. The on-site Reckless Desserts can keep you topped up with mouthwatering treats to lift your spirits along the way, while Hartleys Kitchen serves breakfast and lunch for those who prefer to avoid carrying supplies with them.
