Totally relaxing time, the views were amazing, the whole place was very comfortable and although the weather was very changeable it was cosy and warm. If you're after seclusion and peace then this is just what you need, with the hot tub ready to go when you get there, Jenny and team making sure everything is clean and ready to go you couldn't ask fRead moreor more.

Keith

Very quiet and peaceful - great for getting away from the hustle and bustle to relax

Martin

We had a lovely stay at the Shepherds Hut the views were amazing! It was lovely and peaceful and it was great watching the deer & farmers at work. Hot tub was great. I would recommend bringing enough food for your stay as the shops are a little bit away however Thorns Farm Shop is only 11mins in the car & they have a nice little cafe & you can buy Read morethe essentials (milk/eggs/bread) within the shop. If you want to get away from people, the hussle & bussle then this is the place for you! Hide

Michael

Possibly the quirkiest property we've stayed in. It was in a beautiful spot and very secluded. It is very well appointed with everything you could need. Our initial thought was there wouldn't be room for any clothes but there are so many places to put everything that it wasn't a problem. Definitely recommend the property. Only annoyance is it took Read moreHoliday Cottages exactly 7 working days to return the 150 deposit!! This is nothing to do with the property owners though Hide

Stacy

Such a lovely quirky place, very private and beautiful scenery. Really enjoyed our stay would definitely stay again

Noel

Second year of visiting. Still blown away by cosiness, comfort, facilities and scenery. Really romantic retreat. Cannot praise it enough.

Bryan

It was a great location,completely private and not overlooked,great value for money

Samantha

We had the best stay here! Perfect for both our dogs, and the location was brilliant and boasted the most stunning views. The advertised pictures really dont do it justice. We stay in a lot of cottages around Devon but this by far had the best hot tub views. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in a remote/peaceful location and will defRead moreinitely be staying again! Hide

Shannon

Absolutely brilliant break away in a fantastic place. Everything we needed was there. If we ran out of anything just had to send a text and it arrived within an hour.

Sharon

Lovely secluded shepherd hut, beautiful view, great base for visiting other areas in Devon

Rebecca

Absolutely loved our stay here, we came with the expectation of it being like glamping and we were not disappointed. The bed was very comfy and the hot tub was glorious. The garden being enclosed was a massive help as dogs could just run free (there is an acorn tree though so be careful if your dog scavenges). Everything was really well equipped an d clean. Wonderful shower room with always warm water, yes it is separate but its no issue.

Owen

Would of really loved some more lighting especially around the garden and hot tub which would of really homed in the comfort and setting of the environment, made it very dark and hard to see out during the later hours of the evening, wasnt very happy when other huts had that luxury and we didnt, especially when we paid 700 for 4 nights. Just felt l ike more care and thought could have been applied to really make this hut something really special.

Edward

What a fantastic secluded hideaway with superb views and unmatched privacy. Jenny and her husband were the perfect hosts and remedied our one and only niggle with the utmost speed. We enjoyed it so much, despite the poor weather, we will have a return visit next year.

Andrew

Outstanding location.

Russell

Lovely Views from the Hot Tub The buildings were different, very quirky. Ideal for a relaxing break

Jeremy

beautiful location for a holiday very peaceful.bed was comfortable if a bit to cosy. our week was spoilt by very high winds causing alot of draughts and tree branches banging on the roof all night.we were not aware when booking that going to the toilet involves going outside and walking 30 ft to the toilet and shower.hence sadly we went home after 3 nights of our 7 night stay . the owners were very nice and dealt with a couple of issues promptly and also supplied a nice bottle of prosecco

Noel

Absolute gem! Perfect for escaping the stresses of everyday life. Very well equipped kitchen, bedroom was lovely and warm. The whole place is full of character. The hot tub with the amazing views really put the icing on the cake. Five star is not enough, definitely will return. Many thanks.

Danny

Wonderful stay in a perfectly peaceful setting. Spectacular views, and such a unique accommodation. We will most definately be re-booking and have already recommended many friends that have asked the question after social media posts etc. 2nd time here and most certainly will not be the last.

Heather

This location is our happy place. It is restorative. You can do as much or as little as you want in this area. Some days we just chilled at the farm . A walk , a hot tub( or 3) and lunch on the terrace. And this was February for goodness sake! Thank you. You will never know how needed this was x

Stephanie

Me my partner and dog had such a lovely stay here. Beautiful surroundings, much needed peace and quiet! The shepards huts had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable, and it was lovely to have a bottle of prosecco waiting in the fridge for us! We will definitely be going back!

Alex

Everything was great location is amazing . Cant fault anything perfect for the couple get away

Lewis

Nicholas

Absolutely beautiful accommodation. The bed was probably the comfiest one I've ever slept in. Plenty warm enough in both lodges. Stunning spacious decking with views. The hot tub was lovely and warm. I would love to stay there in the spring or summer to make the most of it. Great having the enclosed garden for my 2 little dogs and felt very private .

We really enjoyed our stay at the Shephards hut. Location was amazing. The whole set up was so peaceful, quirky and the most romantic retreat. The views were to die for. Totally amazing all round

Couldn't recommend this place any higher. Absolutely perfect in everyway, and we will definitely be returning again in the future.

Gary

Lovely quite location, pretty central. Doggy loved the space to run around and play, very private and left alone to enjoy, but knew owners were available if/when we had a small query. Would definitely stay with this owner again. Thanks for a great get away location.

Simon

Great accommodation, dogs loved it, beautiful views

Trivena

best holiday Ive had in years! Fantastic location, lovely helpful hosts, didnt see a soul. Dogs loved it too and we could relax knowing theyre safely enclosed from the farm. I was sad to leave it behind! Stunning views, great walking and kayaking on the canal. Just awesome.
