About Tilbury Farm

Nestled at the top of a hillside meadow in the heart of the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, these beautifully decorated shepherd's huts offer beautiful sunset views over Exmoor National Park. This area of Somerset boasts some of the highest quality dark skies in the UK, great for a night in the hot tub with a glass of your favourite tipple. Romney and Jacob shepherd's huts boast stylish 'English' interiors with a luxurious double bed that can be hidden away in the wall during the day and pulled out when ready for a restful night's sleep. There is also a day bed in each which can be made up into a small bed for a young child with bed rails. The huts also feature an equipped kitchenette, ensuite and a woodburner that provides warmth for those chillier evenings. There are also plenty of cushions and throws to keep things cosy. Bedding and towels are provided, so no need to pack your own! Outside the huts is a decking area with beautiful views over Exmoor National Park, enjoy your morning brew sitting here admiring your surroundings and listening out for the birds. There is also a wood fired hot tub that can be heated for your arrival for an extra fee. The patio also has seating and a fire pit with a tripod and grill, perfect for meals in the open. There is also a holiday cottage available to hire and two other shepherd's huts, Exmoor and Herdwick, onsite. Two bags of logs are provided per night, guests can purchase more if required. Charcoal for the BBQ is available to pre order from the site too. A locally sourced breakfast hamper is also provided on arrival and further meals can be added on request. Guests will have the Quantock Hills AONB on their doorstep, great for wildlife spotting and days spent exploring the countryside. Follow in Coleridge and Wordsworth's footsteps as you venture into the woodlands, moors and farmland. The perfect spot for reconnecting with loved ones, reading a good book and unwinding. Just 30 minutes to the coast, and 20 minutes to Exmoor National Park and Taunton. Days here certainly won't be boring! Sorry, the accommodation is pet-free. Campfires and BBQs are permitted in the fire pit provided outside each of the huts.

A note from the site themselves...

We moved back to Somerset in 2010 after spending eight years in Australia where I ran backpacker hostels in Kings Cross Sydney.

We chose Somerset as that's where my wife Jenny grew up riding ponies over the Quantock Hills. The Quantocks are a stunning piece of England and still very unspoilt. Owls, Stags and Badgers are still found roaming wild. We both hope to welcome you soon, Matt
