Welcome to The Whistle, our luxury shepherd's hut in Somerset.
Drift off into a sweet slumber after a day of adventures.
And the outside space is truly idyllic with a wood-fired hot tub and pizza oven.
The rustic interiors create the cosiest ambience.
Alfresco cooking never looked so good.
Relax in the evening sunshine as you take in your rural surroundings.
The interiors are dream-worthy.
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 ensuite shower room.
You can also freshen up outside under the alfresco 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.
Beautiful rural Somerset.
Barrington Court, a Tudor manor owned by the National Trust, is a short drive away.
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.
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?

Beautiful setting, fab that you can have the hot tub heated ready for your arrival. The pizza oven was so much fun to use!

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
