Drakes Mead Retreat is an idyllic Shepherds Hut set on a secluded plot within 4 acres of Devonshire countryside, just outside the historic market town of Axminster. Surrounded by stunning nature and farmland, it provides the perfect setting for a peaceful stay. With access to the coastal areas of Lyme Regis, Charmouth, Sidmouth and Beer - there are plenty of beautiful beaches and walks to explore! The hut has been lovingly built and decorated by ourselves, cannot wait to share it with you!
