Little Silver Pheasant Reviews

Caroline

Lovely, well equipped hut. Underfloor heating keeps it really warm, didn't need to light the wood burner one during our stay. Hot tub really spacious for two and private, however privacy is at the expense of the lovely view which is hidden behind the the laurel hedge when you are in the tub. If you want the view then book one of the other huts, they all look lovely, but for privacy book Little Silver Pheasant.

Louise

The hut was beautiful and had everything we needed and very cosy and warm. Wish the weather had been colder to allow us to have the log burner on. The hot tub was perfect and so warm. The bed was super comfortable. The views from the big are amazing.

This is a superb destination and we highly recommended. We stayed for a week and loved every minute. The facilities are excellent with no shortcuts taken on the finishes a real feather in the cap for the owners. Comfy bed, great shower, hot tub that we spent much time in and a superb little coffee machine. So much to see and do in the region as well. Do yourself a favour and book Little Silver Pheasant.

Patrick

Excellent, a gem in North Devon. Ideal for relaxing or exploring Devon.

Outstanding in every way, cannot be faulted.

Anthony

Lovely accommodation very well thoughtfully designed. The site was very clean with much space between the huts. Peter was very helpful with local knowledge

Joanna

Such a gorgeous place to stay. Facilities were outstanding. Hot tub well maintained. I never knew I needed a golf buggy on a holiday, but now I do. The accommodation is small, as expected in a shepherds hut, but due to being so well fitted, it was manageable. Views were so lovely. Quiet and relaxing, everything I wanted it to be.

Absolutely loved our stay it was so peaceful just loved hearing the bird's ... Absolutely loved our stay it was so peaceful just loved hearing the bird's singing throughout the day & hot tub was a great bonus

A great stay at The Little Silver Pheasant. A lovely location with great views where yyou can while away the hours in the hot tub or snug in the hut. A really nice place to spend sometime doing nothing. Pleanty to do in the area but great to do nothing.

Scarlett

We had the most amazing 4 night stay. Everything was perfect, from the welcome basket, to the golf buggy and the hot tub! We had such a relaxing time from the moment we got there. The hosts were so welcoming even when we arrived very late in the evening, and they left us to it to relax, but were always on hand if we needed anything. The accommodation was perfect, beds really comfy, lovely hot shower and towels robes provided. The kitchen area had everything you needed, also a Nespresso coffee machine! We had such a lovely stay & would highly recommend.

Joanne

Our stay at little silver pheasant was perfect for our minimoon. Secluded and private with every thing thought out to a tee. The welcome pack was wonderful. Although the weather was cold the hut was cosy and at times too hot after we lit the log burner

We had an incredible time in Silver Pheasant. It was spotlessly clean, had everything we needed for our stay and the owners left us a very generous and welcome hamper. The hot tub was wonderfully relaxing and the location was private and well spaced from the other huts. The owners were so welcoming and friendly. We will definitely book to stay again

Krystle

What a relaxing stay! We arrived about as stressed as we could be and left feeling fully serene. Loved the golf buggies to get around, that was a lot of fun. The shepherds hut had everything anyone could want, seriously the hosts thought of everything! Including a lovely welcome basket including eggs from their own chickens, lovely touch! The hot tub was the icing on the cake and we just wanted to spend all of our time in there. Thank you very much to the hosts, we couldn't have asked for a better couple of days away!

Frances

Loved our stay here, from the lovely double Shepard's hut to everything that went with it the lovely gift basket lots of lovely treats, wine, bread, honey, biscuits to enjoy with a brew to name but a few items that was in there. To the lovely decor, the views from the hot tub and the golf buggy to get you to and from the car park oh what fun. Will definitely recommend this lovely place.

Lovely hut with stunning views, perfect location and loved the hot tub. Will definitely be returning!

Phillip

A perfect retreat with everything you'll need to make your stay feel very relaxed and tranquil. The cabin was very well equipped, and had all the little details covered. Great use of space, making it very cosy. The hottub was wonderful to bubble away in, with beautiful surroundings to view. The cleanliness was immaculate and can't fault the owners for what they have provided. Will certainly be back, as time just seemed to go fast forward in a flash. Left relaxed taking some lovely memories. Thank you again for the stay, and looking forward to booking again.

Loved our stay Peter and Lucy were great, nothing was a problem. Being able to charge the car was brilliant and the golf buggy a great and fun idea, but helpful as the slope is quite steep leaving the huts. The homemade honey, bread and other welcome gifts were really thoughtful. Thanks to Peter and Lucy we will visit again.

Michael

We absolutely loved the Little Silver Pheasant. It was beautifully designed, clean, cosy and exactly as described. It has everything you could possibly need. One things is that the 2 local pubs in the have both unfortunately closed down so the literature just needs updating, however there was a really lovely pub just 10 minutes drive away in Chittlehampton.

We had such an amazing stay in the little silver pheasant, it was quiet and so lovely to relax in the hot tub under the stars. Then come into the warm hut with the wood burner on, we dont wont to leave, but we will definitely be returning. Thank you Peter for an amazing stay

Jordan

Lovely little shepherds hut. Exactly as promised. The owner was lovely and more than helpful! Definitely will be returning!

On arrival at the electric gate entrance it I was clear everything was organised to a first class standard. Such a relaxing place with the assurance should you need the owners attention they would be there quickly. Golf buggy was fun and hot tub great. The welcome basket was the best we have received.

The owners have thought of everything. As expected space is minimal but with clever storage solutions eg under bed drawers etc, it wasn't a problem. The surroundings are stunning and having the golf buggy was a fun and useful addition. We will definitely book again.

Nicola

We had a lovely time at Little Silver Pheasant! It was a relaxing environment, all the amenities were highspec and the hut was cosy. Hot tube was a really lovely way to unwind as well. Highly recommended and we'd love to be back!
