Lodges & Shepherds Hut

Get outdoors and rest in a shepherd’s hut or timber lodge

Rustic retreat near Frome, Somerset

If you enjoy the idea of a camping getaway in the great outdoors in rural Somerset but are put off by having to pack up a load of equipment, erect a tent and set up camp, we can offer you a ready-made, comfortable camping experience at The Den & Orchard.

Our rustic retreat is a regular, well-appointed and highly rated Somerset campsite situated just outside the stunning historic town of Frome, and on the doorstep of the Longleat Safari Park. Besides our camping pitches, we also offer camping accommodation in a cosy shepherd’s hut, dubbed the Crabby Apple, and two timber lodges – Apple Blossom lodge and Cherry Blossom lodge.

The compact and cleverly designed interior of the shepherd’s hut is set up to sleep three, while the lodges provide beds for a maximum of five.

The surroundings are spacious and well-kept, dotted with fruit trees, benches and firepits, and like all our campers you have the use of a pristine washing-up facility, clubhouse, games room, take-away outlet as well as a conveniently located toilet and shower block.

Please book direct with us for the best prices.

Crabby Apple

The Shepherd's Hut

Our quaint shepherd’s hut is as traditional as they come, with its domed corrugated iron roof, iron wheels and timbered sides.

The only thing that sets it apart from the shepherd’s huts you might be used to, is the contemporary, well-equipped interior. We’ve fitted all the mod-cons you need for a comfortable stay within its floor area of 8.1m² (87.2ft²).

With a double bed and a single camp bed provided, the Crabby Apple can comfortably accommodate two adults and a toddler. There is no toilet or shower, gas connection or fridge in the unit – but it is close to the park’s shared facilities which are of a high standard.

The shepherd’s hut is a pet-free space, and you’ll need to pack towels, bed linen, duvets and pillows. You will enjoy the use of:

Apple Blossom & Cherry Blossom Lodges

Our Lodges

Small and simple, but perfectly formed and kitted out, we’ve put our years of experience of enjoying camping to good use to create these two accommodation lodges for fantastic family stays in the Somerset countryside.

These lodges, with a covered veranda and French doors, provide low-cost but high-relaxation accommodation for up to five people, cleverly configured in a space measuring 27.0m² (290.6ft²).

Each is equipped with a double bed, double bunk bed and a single sofa bed. You’ll need to bring your own bedding – linen, towels, duvets and pillows.

The lodges don’t include toilets and showers, but they are close to the shared shower block on the park. Furry friends aren’t permitted in the lodges.

Here’s what is included when you book a stay in one of our camping lodges:
