Guests of all ages can gather here for a stylish countryside getaway which is guaranteed to keep everyone entertained. The farmhouse, which sleeps 14 across seven bedrooms, is spacious and characterful, and has plenty to do on-site, with a skittle alley, snooker table, and private hot tub, as well as an outdoor children's play area. Taunton town centre is a 2.5-mile drive away, convenient for stocking up on supplies and spending a pleasant day out visiting the museum, going to the theatre, and grabbing a drink or bite to eat in one of the many cafes and restaurants. Enter by the side door, and step into the charming kitchen diner, with exposed wooden beams, an AGA (operational October to March inclusive), and wood burner set back into an inglenook fireplace. It's sure to be the social hub of the house, with enough room for everyone around the table, to share stories and ideas for the days ahead over a hearty home-cooked meal. Cosy down in one of the two lounges, both with soft seating to curl up on and watch TV as you relax. When it's raining, or you simply want a day at ease inside, then head for the games area, available from 10am to 10pm daily. All ages will feel the thrill of competition as they set up a snooker tournament and challenge one another to a game in the delightful antique skittle alley. After a day of excitement, and when you're ready for a good night's sleep, climb one of the staircases to bed: the first floor is split-level, and divided into two wings. Up one staircase you'll discover five bedrooms, three king-size (one with an en-suite) and two twins, as well as a bathroom and two shower rooms, so there'll be no queues for a hot soak or a bubble bath! The second staircase leads to the final two bedrooms, a king-size and a double, both with an en-suite. Once everyone is feeling refreshed and recharged from their stay, and the weather is warm, host a celebration outside. Grill a selection of treats on the BBQ and dine alfresco on the large lawn as the sun sets, followed by a dip in the hot tub.

I had a wonderful time at the cabin, the weather was beautiful. Comfy bed, essential ammeneties were all present. The best bit was the hot tub, it was great to sit in it and look up at the incredible amount of stars. Thanks for having me!
Nelly
Love the hot tub ( just need to follow instructions how to start and get it going) and the fire pit. My partner patiently and lovingly sort both of them for us, and it both went really well. The cottage was clean and cozy and enough amenities needed for a comfortable weekend stay.
Laura
A beautiful Shepard's hut which was well laid out and used space effectively. Everything was very tidy and clean and the hut itself was lovely. Bathroom facilities were good, shower was very spacious. The outdoor hot tub was lovely, the wood was well stocked and we used it almost every night. The outdoor area is massive and very well kept. There isRead more very limited signal and no WiFi- which wasnt an issue for us and it was stated before arrival anyway. Overall, it was very pleasant. Hide

There were nice little touches too such as fresh flowers and a booklet of local walks to do. The wood burner was perfect when it got a bit chilly of an evening. The hut was ver y private. I would definitely stay here again.
Clare
We had a fantastic 3 Night break in Lillian. Really comfortable accommodation in a beautiful, quiet and peaceful location. Lots of little extra touches made the stay extra special such as dressing gowns, huge fluffy bath sheets, fantastic shower, spotless hot tub, electric blanket on the bed and all immaculately presented. Far enough away from the one other shepherd's hut for privacy. Would definitely recommend and we would be happy to return again.
