Robin Hoods Hut is a small pavilion in the grounds of Halswell House, Goathurst, Somerset, England.
It was built around 1740 by Sir Charles Kemeys-Tynte.
When the Somerset Buildings Preservation Trust started restoration work in 1997, with grants from English Heritage and the Heritage Lottery, the structure had no roof or windows, had lost much of its plasterwork and its umbrello was almost gone.
Robin Hoods Hut was commended in the Building Conservation category of Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors awards 2005, and is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
The building was acquired by the Landmark Trust in 2002 and is available as a holiday let.
