For Families
This property is not ideal for children. Acorn is a compact shepherd's hut designed specifically for couples with a studio-style layout and one double bed.

Acorn Reviews

Michael
Very different but great fun. Such a change from our lives in Bournemouth. Great views from the hut made better by the presence of sheep and cows in the fields. Highly recommended for couples who want peace and quiet and privacy.
We had an amazing 4 day stay. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. It was so peaceful and relaxing, the hot tub was very nice and used everyday. Not far from the beach and everything you need. James and Amy were very friendly and happy to help with any issues you might have. We would highly recommend to anyone wanting a lovely break away. Definitely 1010.
Sophie
We spent the bank holiday weekend here and it was lovely. A perfect sized hut for a couples get away. The hot tub was great and not overlooked by anyone else. I would definitely recommend coming her for a relaxing weekend away. Also had a great time going to Cheddar and Weston.
Fantastic stay at Acorn, was lovely from start to finish and James the owner was more than attentive! Would definitely stay again!
We had a lovely stay, owner was friendly and helpful, everything was incredibly clean and comfy. We would love to come back and stay and ill definitely be recommending to friends. Only issue was the hot tub being a little confusing and difficult to use as people whove never used log burners before, but not enough of a problem to spoil the lovely time we had staying here.
The property was clean, tidy and very comfortable. The location was beautiful and everybody was super friendly. Would definitely recommend to others and would return again in the future.
Isabella

We had a very enjoyable stay at Acorn. The location and facilities suited our needs perfectly. The property is well designed and had all we needed and more. A perfect get away for couples. The hot tub was used each day to soothe our aching bones after days out exploring.
