Peace and quiet

Guests say this home is in a quiet area.
Whatever the season, come and retreat to our luxury shepherd's hut in the grounds of Periton House. You'll find under-floor heating, log-burner, en-suite shower room, kitchen area and a full-size double bed. The hut has it's own covered decking area and a wood-fired hot tub - perfect for enjoying our beautiful view of the edge of Exmoor.

The space
The hut is a bespoke design from local company Ashwood and provides a rustic and comfortable living space for two, full of natural materials and thoughtful design. The bed forms the centre of the space and looks directly out over private fields - great for deer-watching. There is ample under-bed storage, wardrobe space and shelving for your clothes and an en-suite shower room with heated towel rail to keep things cosy.

The kitchen area has a double ceramic hob, fridge with ice box and a fold out table area for food prep or storage. The log burner is ready to give a boost to the underfloor heating during the winter months - or anytime just for atmosphere!

The wood-fired larch hot tub provides an elemental setting to relax and enjoy the beautiful view - or stargaze late into the evening!

Neighborhood highlights

The shepherd's hut is tucked away in a corner of the grounds of Exmoor Wellbeing Centre at Periton House - a beautiful Arts and Crafts residence, being restored by the resident family. The house itself offers light and airy treatment rooms and a well-proportioned ex-billiard room which now hosts regular yoga classes, sound baths and meditation classes, as well as seasonal events.
The site itself borders Exmoor National Park and although hidden away, it is conveniently situated just a few minutes outside of Minehead town centre. The local area offers stunning walks, coastal exploration and unspoilt scenery. Days out to Lynton and Lynmouth, Dulverton, Porlock Weir, Dunster and Watchet Harbour are all within easy reach.
Minehead offers something for everyone:
For keen walkers, the South West Coast Path begins from Minehead Harbour and for golfers, the Minehead and West Somerset Golf club links course offers an opportunity to play on one of the oldest courses in England. For steam enthusiasts, the West Somerset Heritage Steam Railway runs a regular service from Minehead through to Bishop's Lydeard. Mountain biking is popular locally, with tracks within easy reach of the Wellbeing Centre. Watersports are easily found in Minehead and surrounding areas from Porlock Bay to Wimbleball Lake, with equipment hire or courses available from Channel Adventures.
