The stars, the steam, the silence.

Our wood-fired hot tub sits under open sky over the Mendip Hills, heated the slow way while you watch the light go.

There's no button here. No preset temperature, no instant switch. You light the fire, and the water warms over an hour or so, the way it always has. The waiting is the point. It slows you down before you've even climbed in.

By the time the water's ready, the gorge has gone soft at the edges and the first stars are out over Draycott. Wood smoke on the air. The heat rising gently. Nowhere to be, nothing to rush.

This is what we mean by a slow evening. It isn't something you schedule around. It's the whole plan.

The stars don't rush. Neither does our hot tub 🪵

She walked in and couldn't stop smiling. 🎈✨

Christian booked a couple of nights for his wife's birthday and asked if we could decorate the room before they arrived. We were more than happy to oblige.

Gold "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" balloons strung under the skylights. Prosecco chilled and waiting on arrival. The coffee machine ready for a slow morning. Metal cups by the wood-fired hot tub for a soak under the Mendip stars.

There is a particular kind of quiet joy in watching a partner walk through the door and realise the whole stay was planned just for them. And an equally particular relief for the person who pulled it off.

Thinking of planning a surprise of your own? We love a birthday, an anniversary, or a just-because. Tell us in advance and we'll set the scene before you arrive.

Five minutes from Cheddar Gorge, tucked into Draycott at the foot of the Mendip Hills. Book direct for the best rate at www.thestudiocheddar.com

We often hear from guests who arrive expecting "eco" to mean cold showers and a recycling bin. 🌿✨

When Sam and Alex designed and built The Studio Cheddar in 2021, the goal was to prove that five-star luxury and modern sustainability can genuinely go hand in hand. A well-built Scandi-luxe space ends up warmer, quieter, and more comfortable than a conventional build.

Here are three details that tend to surprise our guests the most:

1️⃣ THE AIR FEELS COMPLETELY FRESH: Our Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery (MVHR) system constantly brings in filtered air from the Mendip Hills while holding the warmth inside, so the space always feels crisp.

2️⃣ THE TEMPERATURE JUST HOLDS: Built with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) for exceptional thermal performance, the walls keep things naturally cool in summer and cosy in winter, with no fiddling with dials.

3️⃣ POWERED BY THE SUN: Clean electricity is generated by our solar PV panels and saved in battery storage. It runs the appliances, lights the rooms, and even charges your EV, substantially reducing our reliance on the grid.

Whether you are soaking in the private wood-fired hot tub under the Mendip stars or wandering Cheddar Gorge 5 minutes down the road, we love showing our guests how comfortable a sustainable stay can feel.

September's the month your dog has been waiting for.

The summer heat has thinned to something cooler, a crispness in the morning air that makes every step feel lighter. The Gorge trails are cooler, quieter, easier on four paws than any August afternoon. The kind of walking weather where nobody's panting halfway up.

Boots on, lead clipped, straight out into the Mendips. Then a slow pub lunch somewhere with a fire just getting going and a bowl of water by the table. Somerset does September well.

And the best part comes later. Back at The Studio, dog dozing on the floor, you sinking into the private wood-fired hot tub as the light drops over the fields. Warm water, tired legs, the two of you exactly where you want to be.

We're dog-friendly for £20 a stay, five minutes from Cheddar Gorge. Because the best walks are shared, and so is everything that comes after 🐾

The gorge at golden hour. This is the window. 🌿✨

The evenings are still long, but the light is already shifting. Right now, in the middle of September, the low sun hits the cliffs at Cheddar Gorge and turns the whole valley to gold.

It is our favourite time of year up on the Mendips. The cliff-top path is 5 minutes from The Studio, and on a clear September evening the view stretches all the way to Wales, the first early-autumn colour just starting to touch the gorge.

Long walks. Warm stone. The tub waiting when you get back.

This is early-autumn Somerset, and it does not last long.

The string lights come on just as the Somerset sky shifts from gold to deep blue. 🌿✨

We designed this terrace so our guests would feel like the rest of the world had politely stepped back for the evening. The table is set, the lantern is lit between you, and the wood-fired hot tub is already steaming quietly a few steps away.

The wooden fence holds Draycott at a comfortable distance. Gravel crunches underfoot when you shift between the table and the tub.

Honestly, the hardest question of the evening at The Studio is whether you eat first or soak first.

We are five minutes from Cheddar Gorge, tucked into Draycott at the foot of the Mendip Hills.

Everything in the right place. 🌿✨

That is what Sarah & Tom told us after their stay, and it is the phrase we come back to whenever we talk about the design of The Studio.

"The hot tub at night with the stars out, nothing like it. The space itself is designed thoughtfully; everything in the right place."

When we built The Studio in 2021, we followed Scandinavian principles: quality materials, natural light through the skylights, open views out to the Mendip Hills, and a peaceful quiet you can actually hear. The geometric pendant, the warm wooden floors, the open-plan flow from kitchen to living room to the terrace beyond... every piece was chosen because it earned its place.

It is, quite simply, somewhere we would want to stay ourselves.

Those rare single nights just opened up. The ones you thought were gone.

Most of autumn books out in blocks. But a handful of individual nights have come free, and they're the kind that never last long.

Available: 17th and 29th September, 2nd to 4th October, and the 6th.

No week of planning. No coordinating diaries. Just one night, five minutes from Cheddar Gorge, with the wood-fired hot tub warming under a darkening Somerset sky. Autumn evenings here start with the sun going down behind the Mendips, the whole horizon turning amber while you sink into the water.

A king-size bed, the quiet of Draycott, and the Mendips holding the horizon. From £100 a night.

The kind of escape you say yes to on a Tuesday and take on the Friday 🌿

The kind of place where you forget to check your phone.

Five minutes from Cheddar Gorge, in the village of Draycott, the landscape does most of the talking. Limestone cliffs rising sharp above the road. Footpaths that thread up through the Mendip Hills and open onto views you carry home with you.

This is one of the most underrated corners of England. Deep countryside, dramatic walks, and enough on the doorstep to fill several days without trying.

Dogs are welcome here (£20 per stay), and they know it. Muddy paws after a long ramble through the hedgerows. A slow wander back. The wood-fired hot tub waiting, and the countryside settling into dusk around you.

We built The Studio for exactly this rhythm. Walk the gorge. Come home to open views and quiet. Let the place do the heavy lifting while you do very little at all 🌿

There's a walk with your name on it and a hot tub warming for after. Come and find your way here - book direct at www.thestudiocheddar.com

The hour before dark on the terrace, and the water is exactly where it needs to be. 🌿✨

You lit the wood-fired heater about an hour ago. The string lights are on. The lantern on the dining table holds a single flame. The hot tub sits there, unhurried, fed by a fire you built yourselves with a match and a stack of dry logs.

This is what carbon-neutral luxury actually feels like at The Studio. It is slower than an app. It asks you to notice the smell of woodsmoke, the shift in the light, the quiet that settles over Draycott when the day lets go.

The overcast sky above the Mendip Hills holds the heat in. Cheddar Gorge is five minutes down the road, but from this terrace, you are not going anywhere.
