Where the forest meets fire & ice

Nestled in the peaceful countryside of Rudge, near Frome, our two luxury shepherd huts offer the complete wellness escape. Hand-crafted by Greendown Shepherd Huts, each one comes with its own private sauna, cold plunge and Jacuzzi — surrounded by the beauty of the Somerset countryside.

"This isn't just a place to stay. It's a place to remember."

The complete fire & ice ritual

01 🔥

Private Sauna

Step into the heat and let it work through you. 15–20 minutes of pure warmth — muscles loosen, the mind slows, everything begins to let go. Your sauna. Nobody else's.

02 ❄️

Cold Plunge

Step straight from the heat into the cold plunge. Breathe. Stay calm. Two to three minutes. The endorphin rush that follows is unlike anything else — pure clarity and energy.

03 🌊

Private Jacuzzi

Ease into the warm bubbling water and let the contrast do its work. Repeat the full cycle two or three times. This is where the magic happens — and where guests say they finally feel truly relaxed.
