Forton House Shepherd's Hut 1

About this property

Chard 1.3 miles. Enjoy the Somerset countryside on your doorstep in Forton near Chard with a stay at this wonderful, detached shepherd's hut, Forton House Shepherd's Hut 1. Welcoming a couple looking for a secluded break amidst the gorgeous rural scenery, this shepherd's hut rests a short drive from the coast whilst also being a stone's throw away from cycling and walking trails. After parking up, make your way inside this charming abode, where the flickering flames of the woodburning stove envelope you with warmth. Curl up together with a glass of wine in front of the fire, or head outside to your private terrace for an evening under the stars whilst the fire pit crackles away in the background. When you're feeling peckish, rustle up an easy meal with the fitted kitchen's handy appliances, including a hob and a fridge. These tasty meals can be savoured as a romantic meal for two at the dining table whilst you discuss your sightseeing plans. At the end of the day, retire to the double bed for a well-earned rest. In the morning, enjoy complementary tea or coffee, before freshening up in the shower room's walk-in shower, which also features kindly-provided toiletries. Be sure to head out and spot the delightful rabbits playing in neighbouring field, before grabbing your bike and embarking on the nearby Sustrans Route 33. Pay the town of Chard a visit, where ample walking trails await, as well as a weekly market selling local wares, a swimming pool and leisure centre, as well as the fascinating Chard Museum. Why not pay Tatworth a visit, where even more rural walks can be found, as well as access to the famed Forde Abbey House and Gardens, where an on-site gift shop and café can be found. Be sure to visit Crewkerne, where not only the delights of the Crewkerne Heritage Centre and the Bincombe Beeches Nature Reserve can be discovered, but the farmers' market can also be enjoyed, where fresh produce is available in abundance. There is still so much to see in the wider area, including the coast, with the locations of Lyme Regis, Seaton and Charmouth taking centre stage, as well as opportunities to go horse riding at Woodhouse Farm, visit air and vehicle museums, tour WW2 sites and historic houses, as well as partake in a Somerset Cider Tour; you'll rarely be bored here! For a romantic escape to remember, choose Forton House Shepherd's Hut 1. Note: This property can be booked with Refs: 1100529 & 1100527, together sleeping up to six people.
