KingWelcome to Aurora, a gorgeous shepherd's hut for two, hidden away in a secluded setting in the Blackdown Hills. Nestled within a peaceful meadow on a 24-acre site and surrounded by rolling hills, this delightful little escape is just the place for a tranquil few days away.
Step inside to admire the hut's rather lovely interiors, decorated in soft, pastel tones with luxurious touches throughout. Here you'll find a sumptuous king-size bed, dining-table and chairs, and little seating area. There's a sweet kitchen with a built-in induction hob for preparing simple breakfasts and suppers. Oh, and we can't forget to mention the Nespresso machine - perfect for your morning pick-me-up! The beautifully decorated shower-room has a wonderful rainfall shower and heated towel rail. After a day out and about, we're sure you'll love spending cosy evenings hunkered down in your hut. Light the wood-burner and relax…
Dotted with colourful flowers and herbs, and adorned with festoon lighting and lanterns, the outside space is quite simply a delight. Spend warm summer afternoons soaking up the sunshine, admiring the idyllic views and getting lost in a good book. Prepare lunches al fresco at the covered wooden dining-table, using fresh herbs and salad from the raised beds, then sit back with your tipple of choice in the cosy egg chair. Evenings here really are quite magical, with a barbecue and fire-pit for suppers, smores and gathering around to plan tomorrow's adventures. Followed by a leisurely soak in the gorgeous bathtub under the stars, of course.
Should you wish to go exploring, the Blackdown Hills are on your doorstep. Promising beautiful scenery, peace and tranquility and plenty of walking routes, we're sure you'll fall in love with this special corner of the UK. Exmoor National Park is within easy reach for more postcard-perfect views and outdoor adventures - pack up a picnic, pull on your walking boots and enjoy.
If you're craving the sea, the iconic Jurassic Coast is nearby. Here you'll find charming seaside towns, incredible coast path walks, and fabulous beaches. Head to the delightful village of Branscombe to admire the picturesque cottages, spend an afternoon on the beach, and dine at the award-winning Masons Arms. Soak up the traditional seaside charm in Beer and spend leisurely days fossil-hunting and coast path wandering in Lyme Regis. However you plan to spend your time at Aurora, we're sure it will be one to remember.
