Willowbank shepherds hut
Willowbank was built frame upwards by ourselves over the last year on our small farm. It’s positioned in an elevated area so you can enjoy the views over the Somerset Levels including the main train line, Burrow Mump and Glastonbury Tor on a clear day! The hut has been built with love to reflect what we want from a holiday including a sumptuous woollen duvet and pillows and quality cotton sheets all on a Relyon king size bed. We have used Farrow and Ball paint to decorate and used recycled wood/fixtures as much as possible to reflect the oldy worldy theme of the property. The hut is alongside our farm but it is peaceful and you will not be bothered unless you need us! We have dogs, cats, horses and sheep along with the fabulous wildlife that thrive in the area. The local shop with post office is 5 minutes away. The magnificent River Tone is a 5 minute walk where you have a high chance of seeing otters and teems of wild birds as well as fabulous fishing! Please note that the hut is sited near to our farmhouse but secluded enough that you have privacy.
We look forward to welcoming you to our farm for your stay in Willowbank. We are a family here with my parents living in the converted milking parlour so you will see a few of us discreetly around. We are a farm so please bear in mind you will hear the animals but it will not impact on your stay. Joe is an avid fisherman so can give advice on the best local spots and Kate is a biker so can point you in the direction of some fab rides! It’s a very peaceful place here and a friend offers wildlife spotting tours across the levels on request. We have provided binoculars so you can indulge in some bird watching whilst you stay with us. Please feel free to message me with questions as we want you to be happy with your stay and will do all we can to make it so.
There are local bird reservations where you can sit in a peaceful hide and enjoy the multitude of birds that visit here. Taunton is our local town with multiple supermarket,shops, cinema, eateries and a farmers market on Thursdays. Langport is 8 miles away and is a sweet town with some nice shops and lovely walks alongside the river. Glastonbury Tor (which you can see whilst on the loo!) is a must visit as well as the stunning Abbey in the town and Burrow Mump is on the way and well worth a hike upto the church ruins which give stunning views. The main train station is in Taunton and the trains can be seen regularly passing approximately a mile away and occasionally a special steam train will chuff along! There is a bus service from North Curry village which is around 5 minutes away so a car is necessary if you wish to get out and about.
