The Forager star gazing Shepherd’s hut is central in the forest garden (aka food forest – full of edible plant!) with the ground gently sloping away below the Forager and a long southern valley in front of it giving it stunning view of Eggardon Hill – an iron age hill fort on the horizon. Perfectly positioned to enjoy colourful sunrises!
About the Forager
French doors give you access to the Foraer, which is equipped with antiques and restored furnishings to give a relaxed country style. The kingsized bed has ample storage below and a pull out table for intimate dinners for two. Each hut is individually decorated. The ensuite includes our own handmade Fizzly Tree natural soap beside the marble basin.
