The details
Tucked deep within Thornfalcon’s cider orchards, the Lambing Shed is an intimate woodland hideaway where nature sets the pace. Once home to generations of Somerset lambs, this beautifully reimagined shed is now a light-filled, characterful cabin designed for slow mornings, long baths beneath the trees and evenings warmed by the glow of a woodburning stove.
Inside, the space feels both cosy and considered. The open-plan living area blends antique finds, rich textiles and a curated library of books and games, creating a place that instantly invites you to settle in. The well-stocked kitchen is ideal for relaxed cooking, whether that’s lazy breakfasts or simple suppers enjoyed with the doors open to the orchard air.
The bedroom is a cocoon of calm, clad in warm timber and centred around a king size bed dressed with 400 thread count cotton sheets, a feather topper and duvet. A hand-painted headboard adds a touch of artistry, while blackout blinds promise deep, uninterrupted sleep. The ensuite bathroom is equally indulgent, with a generous rain shower, fluffy towels and beautiful Made, by Mary Temperly products.
Step outside and the magic continues. Beneath the apple trees, a wood-fired bath for two sits waiting, perfect for soaking under open skies as the light fades and the orchard settles. There’s space to sit, breathe and simply enjoy the sense of privacy that comes from being immersed in woodland.
Guests staying at Thornfalcon can also book time at the Wild Spa, set beside a two-acre swimming lake. Start the day with a sauna and cold plunge, or wind down in the afternoon with the wood-fired hot tub beneath silver birch trees. Massages, sound baths and private yoga sessions are also available by appointment.
When you’re ready to explore, the village of Thornfalcon sits in the heart of the Taunton Vale, perfectly placed between the Quantocks, Blackdown and Mendip hills. Walks through rolling countryside, vineyard visits and days spent discovering Somerset’s food and drink scene are all on the doorstep, making this a wonderfully restorative base for a rural escape.
