Dog-Friendly Shepherd Huts.

Pet-friendly glamping means that you and your dog will both be welcome to stay and enjoy a memorable adventure in the great outdoors. There will be plenty of space for your dog and a cosy spot for it to sleep, but not on any of the furniture. It can be great fun taking your dog on a glamping holiday, but it can require extra preparation – it’s wise to have your pet microchipped, and you’ll want to ensure you pack all their essentials (food, lead etc).

Dog Friendly Glamping.

When embarking on a glamping getaway, being dog-friendly implies a warm welcome for both you and your canine companion to relish a memorable adventure amid nature’s beauty or one of the many local walks on our doorstep here.

Japanese Tosa.Dogo Argentino.Fila Brasileiro.It’s rare to find luxury holiday shepherds huts that accept dogs, but we believe the two needn’t be mutually exclusive. For your pet’s safety and the consideration of other guests, we do ask that the dog and their owners follow a few simple rules while they are staying here onsite.

Your dog must always be properly controlled and supervised at all times (preferably with a lead on) during your stay. The field is dog-friendly, but it is not completely escape-proof for your dog. Your dog must not be left unattended in the hut or outside, no dog on any furniture or bed and the dog must not enter the hot tub. We therefore advise owners to bring a dog basket and blanket and their dogs toys. Guests are asked to clean up after their dog, both inside and outside of the property a dog waste bin is provided please supply your own dog waste bags, otherwise extra cleaning costs may be charged. Please contact us directly if you have any questions regarding bringing your dog.

How many children can stay?

Len’s Hut does not accommodate children.

If you would like to stay in one of the huts with children (and no pets), please check out Ted’s Hut here.

Do you have an electric vehicle charging spot?

Unfortunately, we don’t.
However, the nearest charging point is just over 5 miles away from Tor View Shepherds Huts, at Morrisons Supermarket in Wells (postcode BA5 1UA).

What's included in my stay? (Towels, Wood & more)

We will provide you with fine Egyptian cotton bed linen for your stay; we have even provided you with a simple dry larder supply that includes West Country Tea bags, high quality ground coffee, sugar and sometimes even a pint of milk ready in the fridge for your arrival.

If you feel like lighting Len’s wood burning stove (or fire pit), you don’t need to worry about wood, kindling or fire starters. They are included, so there’s no need to purchase them from a roadside garage late at night (please use responsibly).

Stepping into the bathroom for the first time you will also find large fluffy towels, shower gel, and fresh toilet tissue. Everything one needs to make the stay perfectly perfect is provided as standard.

Is there a minimum stay?

Our preferred minimum stay is 3 nights (bank holidays & summer) and 2 nights during the rest of the year.

The minimum stay depends on when you arrive, as you really do need 3 nights to fully appreciate the glamping experience.

What is the price guide?

Price guide ranges between £109 (Low season) – £169 (High season) per night.

Our pricing varies based upon which day you are arriving and whether it is in high or low season, we also offer the flexibility to arrive 7 days a week, unlike other companies.

What should you pack for your small dog’s glamping adventure?

As dogs are highly territorial animals who like to know what’s theirs and what isn’t, bringing your dog’s own bed is often a wise choice. It gives them an area that’s theirs to settle down in, or retreat to if they’re nervous; you may also wish to consider an extendable lead, and a blanket or stuffed toy, purely to remind them of their home and keep them calm.

Accidents can happen so be sure to be prepared with a list of your emergency contacts, or local vets should you potentially need them. It’s an uncomfortable idea to entertain, but you’ll be happy you did if you end up needing it.

Much like their owners, dogs will need a little backpack for all their adventure provisions! This could be a tiny rucksack of their own that you shoulder alongside your bag, a space inside your rucksack. Make sure you include a travel water bowl, water bottle, treats and poop bags.

Just like you, your canine friend needs little snacks, pick-me-ups and even regular meals – especially if they’re taking on new adventures where they’ll burn lots of extra calories. Changing their routine and being in new environments can also be stressful for them, and they might not eat as much or as frequently as usual.

Dogs tend to behave really well, until they see an available mud bath. It can be very useful to be able to wash them off with your own muddy kit before they get in the car, let alone into a hut you’re staying.

You will need something to dry off those little paws after a hosing, so a towel is a must. Blankets are also always wise – whilst it’s possible if you have a short-haired breed they might get a little chilly, it’s less about the warmth factor and more about the familiar smell. Having blankets that remind them of home can help them acclimatise to their new surroundings and to long and potentially stressful car journeys. It might, however, get a bit chilly, so getting a little jacket or fleece for them can be a great investment.

Please be mindful that there may be cattle or tractors in surrounding fields and we also have several cats onsite. Therefore, please keep your dog under close control at all times – whilst the area outside is dog friendly, it is not completely escape-proof.

The area boasts some wonderful pubs and restaurants, as well as interesting places to buy locally produced cider and cheese. Bring a healthy thirst and appetite!

We’ve written a list of a few of our local pubs where we have eaten as a family. We have included those which we have tried at some time or another, but of course there are lots more in the area locally – we can’t get around them all! Please ask us for our recommendations.

There is plenty to keep the avid adventurer occupied within the area.
From shopping in Bristol to discovering Wookey Holes cave network, there’s a little of everything just around the corner.

For written directions check out the Contact Us page.

Len’s Hut is a spacious and luxurious hand made Shepherds Hut that stands 18’ by 7” wide. With a fully fitted small kitchen, Double bed/day bed 4’6” Tempur memory mattress, Integral shower room and WC, Len The Hut is the quintessence of luxurious glamping.

Our Reviews

We have lost count how many times we have stayed here now!

What we haven’t lost is how beautiful and peaceful it is. Phil & Amanada attention to detail has been A++ consistent every time. This weekend we have visited Hartley’s kitchen (best breakfast!) We went on the ESR steam train visited the Mendip hills picked up supplies up from Torners Farm shop visited Priddy where you can go to Deer leap and sit on a bench and see some breath-taking views, had a lovey meal in the queen Victoria friendly traditional pub. Our most favourite part always though is the hot tub at night looking at the stars at night and listing to all the birds we will be back again.

We have had a wonderful time. Blissfully relaxing and, well that’s it really – blissful. The bed was comfortable and waking up to that view with the deer quietly grazing was very special. No grand meal in any restaurant or pub could match the pleasure of a simple baked potato cooked on an open fire. You have made it a wonderful celebration of our 30 years of marriage.

“Since we booked this holiday we have been counting down the days. The expectation was surpassed by Len! We have done so much in our time here but most of all we have relaxed and enjoyed the peace. Cooked steaks in the fire pit, watched deer in ‘our’ field and listened to the owls around us. Lit the stove and cooked (windows & doors open) and constantly found new things hidden away. Thank you Phil & making us so welcome.”

Len’s History

Len the Shepherds Hut is named after Phil’s grandfather, a farmer in whose field Len and Ted are situated.

Phil recognised that some of us are reluctant to give up the modern creature comforts we take for granted – so he carefully designed Len the Shepherds Hut to include everything you could wish for, from an en-suite shower and flushing toilet to electric central heating and fitted kitchen, a luxury comfy mattress supplied with all the bed linen and duvet, to the DAB radio, Wi-Fi, TV, DVD player and mood lighting (we also provide a small hairdryer too!)

It was a true labour of love that then resulted in Len, a uniquely handmade Shepherd’s Hut. A charming recreation of pastoral bliss, yet with all the features you’d expect in a five star luxury apartment.
