About Ruby's Retreat

Tucked into the tiny Somerset village of Tunley, Ruby's Retreat offers a handful of painstakingly restored shepherd's huts just 15 minutes from Bath—yet it feels like another world entirely. Each hut comes with comfortable beds, cosy living spaces, small kitchenettes, private bathrooms and a woodburning stove (wood provided). The real draw, though, is your own private outdoor hot tub, perfect for soaking under the stars while Bath's lights twinkle in the distance.

With top-notch facilities, dog-friendly policies and level, accessible grounds, it's a luxurious rural retreat that manages to feel both remote and convenient. Fire up the barbecue, take a woodland walk or simply settle in—there's a village pub five minutes away on foot, and the city's buzz is close when you want it. For those seeking a peaceful escape with a touch of indulgence, this tiny site hits the sweet spot.

Sam Walker

Honestly this is the best find. Stunning location, excellent facilities, outstanding cleanliness, wonderful host. Lovely little touches with robes and slippers for the hot tub. Cute little smellies. Fresh crisp linen sheets and towels. Plenty of wood for the log burner. Cannot recommend this place enough. This is our second stay. First was in November 2024 where we experienced the cooler nights with the log burner. This weekend we had the glorious sunshine. Both visits were equally enjoyable for differing reasons. Already planning when we can get back.

Stayed here at the weekend as we visited Bath and Bradford-upon-Avon. Great location and the views are stunning (we stayed in the Robin hut) cabin was really clean and had everything we would need. Jacuzzi was very clean and amazing to sit in and watch the sun go down over the valley. You have as much firewood as you’d need for the fire pit. Andrew was very easy to talk with and communication was great. I would 100% stay here again if we are visiting the area, and would defiantly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful time away, within easy distance of Bath Cheers Andrew

Just got back from a weekend here and was perfect ! The host were lovely , the hut was very clean and had everything you needed , its was very private and out of the way but also close enough to do some exploring or even order a takeaway . The hot tub was amazing and my partner loved the fact that we could see some of the planes coming in and taking off . Will definitely be back again , thank you

Just back from a weekend here. Hut was spotless and had everything we need for the weekend. Hot tub was heated and ready for us on arrival. We were met and had a quick lesson on how to use everything then left alone for a lovely private weekend away. Would defiantly go back. Great hut, host and location.
