Tucked away in an enclosed and private part of a 300-acre country estate, this stylish shepherdâ€™s hut and lodge makes a quirky getaway for couples or even just you and the dog! Made up of two buildings and a hot tub, as well as a wet room behind the lodge, it provides a little slice of heaven for guests who want to get away from the crowds with just the sounds of the countryside for company. You canâ€™t beat sinking into the cosy bedroom of the shepherdâ€™s hut, the wood burner on to keep toasty at night. While a rustic country feel dominates both the lodge and shepherdâ€™s hut, the furnishings and appliances give a modern touch. Sit down for romantic dinners in the lodge, which has a contemporary kitchen area to cook all that local produce you have discovered on your days out. On cool nights, you can sit inside at the bench table to enjoy the fruits of your labour but during the warmer summer months, you canâ€™t beat eating alfresco on the terrace and taking an impromptu dip in the hot tub under the Devon night sky. For evenings out, visit the idyllic Fishermanâ€™s Cot at Bickleigh (2 miles) for dinner, or the charming town of Tiverton (5 miles) for a larger selection of restaurants. The cathedral city of Exeter is a 15-mile drive away and is a haven of historic attractions, including the Gothic cathedral, Royal Albert Memorial Museum and the medieval underground passages that run beneath the city. Dartmoor National Park is within 30 miles and offers excellent walking and cycling country.

Paul

Very clean, they have everything you need. Easy to get too. And close to visit other areas for the day. So relaxing especially getting in the hot tub. Will be definitely back next year.

Kristina

The location is really beautiful! But beware as the country roads are very tedious (this is anywhere in Devon and Cornwall in general!). The addition of the hot tub was perfect way to chill after wandering the towns and forests! No light pollution meant starry skies and the enclosed area meant my puppy could freely wander without having to worry abRead moreout any escapes! She loved it, we loved it! A perfect break away from the busy hustle and bustle of modern life! Keeping this in my favourites! Hide

We cannot recommend The Holly Pod enough. If you want seclusion, amazing views, tranquility and peace with a little indulgence (the hot tub) then this place is for you. We had the most amazing 5 night stay even though the weather was awful. I hope to be back very soon.

Sandra

We absolutely loved our stay in Holly Pod. It's a true escape from reality. The pod was cosy, well equipped and completely private. The enclosed garden was great for our 2 dogs.

Jeanette

Absolutely lovely place to stay, relaxing and peaceful. Beautiful views especially when just chilling in the hot tub.

Carlo

The Holly Pod is a fantastic little getaway. Very remote, it feels like youre in your own little space with the fields to yourself. I can see why people bring their dogs to the pod as theres a great big field out in front where they can roam freely (Ill bring my dog next time if I come back!).

What an incredible find! " The Pod" Tranquil, beautiful setting. The views over the Valley were stunning, particularly at sunset. The hot tub was larger than expected, ( as was the Prosecco, cooled nicely in the fridge when we arrived) clean, ambient temperature. Enclosed garden for the dog. Lovely walks.

Michelle

Absolutely AMAZING weekend away, in the whole 15years me and my husband have been together, this has to be the best break we have ever had. It was absolutely beautiful, and peaceful! And the much needed break away from the kids and day to day life we lead. The dogs absolutely loved it too and are keen explorers it was lovely to see them so happy! W e will 100% be returning and maybe in a bigger one for the kids to come too!!

Fanatic get away !! Really enjoyed our time at the pod ! Jenny was lovely to contact and was always available !! recommended

Stuart

Cost , warm & relaxing , very remote & perfect for those seeking to unwind

Heather

Want to say it was awful. But can't. Just don't want to share it!!!! Rebooked it whilst sitting looking over the valley with a glass of prosecco after a hot tub. All after a cracking meal in a nearby pub.

Barry John

Fantastic location. Stunning scenery. Warm, comfortable and well equipped accommodation. Hot tub was a great addition. Would definitely stay again

Tracy

We had a really lovely stay at the holly pod. The views where amazing. The accommodation was perfect for us and our little cocker spaniel. The hot tub was used daily! Highly recommend and we will be returning with an extra little fur baby next time.

Gail

Beautiful Setting and comfortable pod, had everything we needed, the hot tub is amazing even when the weather is not behaving. Relaxing holiday.

Julian

The views are phenomenal and the property is situated in a secluded position giving an unbroken view of the night sky. As we were on holiday during the second heat wave, the pond at the bottom of the hill surrounded by trees was a godsend for us and the dog. The hot tub is of good quality and there are a couple of good pubs a short drive away.

David

Fantastic location, cannot wait to return

kevin

Everything was perfect, the pod was fantastic lovely and peaceful and both dogs really loved staying there

Sarah

Excellent communication from booking, directions to find the Holly Pod. Was allowed early check in. Holly Pod have everything you could think of for self catering. Decking area was great the Hot tub was perfect and larger than expected. The grass area was adequate we had to large dogs with us. You can walk around the farm area. Information book. Ve ry comfy bed and seating area. Scenery was awesome. Loved watching the Barn owl in the evening. Bottle of Prosecco welcome unexpected highly recommend

Rachel

We had a lovely stay at The Holly Pod. Everything was clean and as advertised. The only slight on our stay was the size of the lawn area at the front of the property. It was a lot smaller than it looked on the photos,but there was still room for the dogs to have a sniff around and didnt ruin our stay at all. The views more than made up for it,just spectacular. The shower was brilliant,if somewhat bijou. 2 towels were provided and also useful information packs. Pod was not overlooked at all

Yasmin

The Holly Pod is lovely and kitted out with everything you could need, the jacuzzi was always a lovely temperature, and the views were absolutely breathtaking! The owners are lovely and helpful too; upon seeing our two small dogs could fit through the gate to the property they immediately reinforced it so the whole garden was dog-proofed which was absolutely amazing! I would recommend staying here to everyone!

Paula

As advertised, very clean and tidy and enjoyed the setting, very quiet. Took our dog and he enjoyed it and safe for him to walk around in the garden. Would highly recommend if you want a break in a lovely countryside setting.

ROBERT

If you love peace and quiet and being away from the rat runs, you'll love it here. Load up your larder and fridge to avoid shopping trips down the beautiful narrow country lanes to distant supermarket and enjoy the tranquility of the pod and hot tub.

Anthony

Just a brilliant place very quiet and undisturbed hardly saw anyone else whilst there and the hot tub is just fantastic would thoroughly recommend this place

Mandy

Beautifully cosy had everything we needed to completely relax looking at the stunning views

Lea

My husband and I went and stayed at the Holly Pod for the week with our dog and we absolutely loved our stay! Not a single bad thing to say about it. The place was well kept, we had everything we needed and we was very lucky with the weather! The hot tub was always at a good temperature. The view was beautiful and we loved waking up every morning, sitting outside and watching the sun rise and staying out in the evening to watch the sun set. Completely isolated area, just what we wished for!

Heather

It must be good, this was our 3rd stay here and we have booked again. If you want to relax and recharge your batteries, this is the place. You will never tire of the view!!! You could not see another person all week if you wanted. Just Sit back in the hot tub and listen to the owls. Highly recommend the carvery at The fishermens cot!!!!!!
