Private Hot Tub
Perfect for 2 people.
Ted’s Eco Wood Fired Scandinavian Hot Tub is for your exclusive use during your stay with us.
Simply light the fire, sit back and relax while it heats the water, then step in and enjoy your hot tub experience under the stars.
We think that lighting it yourself adds to the experience, it’s so much better than just switching it on!
Glamping Experience
Tor View Shepherds Huts are one of Somerset’s hidden gems. Perched high up on the Mendip Hills overlooking Glastonbury Tor in the distance, there’s no sign and no doorbell. You can only get to the Huts after receiving an e-mail with your special code and directions.
Lovingly handcrafted and designed to inspire, every feature adds to the feeling of exclusive luxury glamping.
Experience Off-Grid
Experience an Off-Grid break as Ted’s 12 volt electrics are powered and mainly charged by the solar panels installed on the roof! This provides plenty of power for the indoor and outdoor lighting as well as the USB power points, so you can rest assured that your smartphone, tablet or eBook reader can be charged using the wall mounted USB sockets. If you don’t wish to light the stove, we have installed an energy efficient electric radiator.
To be extra-sure of this, we have an automatic and on-board 12 volt battery top-up, for use mainly during the cooler/darker days (because we’re in England!).
There are no 3 pin plug sockets within the hut for devices that may require more power, offering you a real retreat from the modern world.
Electric Vehicle Charging Point
For Ted’s hut only, if you own a ‘Granny’ cable or 3-pin electric charging cable, you’ll be able to charge your vehicle on-site as a standard 3-pin outdoor electric socket is located next to the car parking space for Ted.
All we ask is that at the time of booking you request, select and pay for the number of times you wish to complete an overnight electric charge of your vehicle during your stay.
Stunning Views
The huts include absolutely everything, and the clever design means that they feel surprisingly spacious. Ingenious planning ensures that it all packs away neatly, so you won’t be tripping over your bags at every turn.
Last but not least the views of the surrounding Somerset countryside are stunning, with the local area boasting a wealth of inviting things to see and do.
“Stunning views over towards Glastonbury Tor and very peaceful.”

Our Reviews
Ted’s History
Nestling at the highest point of our front hayfield, and offering staggering views across the rural Mendips to Glastonbury Tor (and way beyond), you will find Ted’s Hut secluded away.
In the Somerset dialect ‘Ted’ means to turn hay so that it dries evenly into the perfect feed for the farm animals, ensuring that all the livestock are looked after in the best way possible. Ted’s Hut continues this approach today, ensuring that all visitors have everything they need to be rested, nurtured and are fully content.
