ADVERTISING FEATURE
every Blackdown hut
has a story
what will yours be?
Established in 2011 in Ilminster, from
humble roots Blackdown Shepherd
Huts have become one of the leading
shepherd hut manufacturers in the
country, building bespoke and high-end
luxury living spaces...
From their Artisan Self-Build Huts for the
craftsman, through to opulent fully fitted
Brace Huts for hotels and glampsites,
these distinct huts are often seen
being carried to their destinations on
the country roads. They have become
well-known in Britain and across the
globe for their high-quality product and
outstanding customer journey.
From the outset quality has always been
a core value of the business as Creator,
Will Vickery says, “we would rather
explain the cost of quality than apologize
for anything less”. This ideology runs
right through their business model. From
the design and creation of the shepherd
huts to their signature features like their
wall-bed.
Crafted with materials sourced locally
and from trusted suppliers, the versatile
space in a Blackdown Modular Turnkey
Hut includes a tranquil dining nook which
transforms with a dreamy wall-bed for
guests to relax and lay their heavy heads
whilst looking up at the stars through
the aptly named stargazer; another
signature feature designed with quality
and the users experience in mind. Built
into the curve of the roof, the stargazer
provides an idyllic place for guests to
stay connected to the outdoors from the
warmth and comfort of the wall-bed with
the crackling fire as their only soundtrack.
Blackdown Shepherd Hut’s customer
experience is just as high end as their
shepherd huts. Your dream becomes a
reality as soon as your customer journey
starts. With a cup of tea in their office
just ten minutes away from Taunton,
where you’ll unload your ideas with Alan
the customer relationship manager, who
will work with you to make your vision of
that extra space for the family to stay, a
glamping business to bridge the gap of
that early retirement, or a bolt hole at the
bottom of the garden, take shape with a
Blackdown Shepherd Hut.
