Surrounded by the beautiful Somerset countryside, The Roundhouse offers yurt-style accommodation on the grounds of a lovely organic farm and has been built with sustainability at its core. Cosy and contemporary, this unusual accommodation features a four-poster bed crafted from ash coppiced from the estate's own woodlands, its own kitchen, and a bathroom with shower and roll-top bath, meaning you can get back to basics without sacrificing your home comforts.

The Roundhouse is situated close to the nearby village of Stratton-on-the-Fosse, as well as numerous countryside walks. Suited to young families and couples, the interior is surprisingly spacious and airy, while keeping warm thanks to its wood-burning stove.

Naturally lit by a statement skylight and a number of large windows, The Roundhouse makes the most of the nature around it. The decor is meticulously planned to be snug yet stylish, with sofas, a kitchen and dining area and beds presented in an open-plan layout.

Outside, benefit from a private garden and patio with loungers and an outdoor dining table for al fresco meals in the summer or cosy drinks in the winter.
