The woods around this cabin were once a cider orchard (hence Vilberie, a traditional but rarely used Somerset apple) and are now a beautiful arboretum where you can spend a few wonderfully relaxing days. The cabin is no less amazing a space. In the open plan room of the main, curved pod is your bedroom, living room and kitchen, kitted out with an induction hob, king size double and a few touches of extra indulgence like a Nespresso machine. Just across the deck is where you’ll find the striking circular bathroom and the massive stone tub inside, easily big enough for two. You’ll also find the Weber BBQ and space to sit and soak up views of the Somerset levels as you cook.

If you head out, keep the binoculars handy, as this is a fantastic area for walking (or cycling on the Dutch vintage bikes provided) and bird watching. There are three RSBP reserves close by at Shapwick Heath, Ham Wall and West Hay. At dusk in the winter months you can see the world famous Starling murmurations. There are also a great many local walks on the Mendip Hills – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty: Ebor Gorge and the stunning views at Deer Leap are only a few minutes away by car. All great hiking days end at a pub of course and thankfully there are three within walking distance: The Pheasant Inn at the end of the lane and The Burcott and Ring O’Bells, both in Wookey. The Sheppey Inn at Godney is just a 10-minute drive away and well worth a visit. The quirky establishment has been rated one of the best British pubs. As well as cider and award-winning local wine on offer at the vineyard just to the north, you can also stroll through the lanes to the local goat farm in Wookey and sample their delicious range of cheeses and milk, with the added bonus of lots of friendly goats to pet!
