    The roads nearby to get to the property are small and pot hole ridden. Nothing the property can do about that but just be aware of the roads and don’t race them! Drive carefully.

    Rural and rough. Get away from the city, people and tech, then this is the place for you. I loved it. Got a bit cold at night so bring a blanket. Bed is raised (medium firmness but comfortable), so there is an area under the bed for your dog to sleep (bring their bed). The little wood burner gave out loads of heat, I say have it ready to be lit for first thing in the morning. The place is great for a younger couple with a small dog looking to get away from the world for a couple of days to enjoy each other company :)

    The hut was in a beautiful remote location down narrow lanes. It was great to wake up and see the views in the morning after arriving in the dark. Inside the small space was arranged cleverly and there was a small wood burning stove which heated the room very effectively. The bed was comfortable and warm. We had all we needed for our two nights and enjoyed exploring the area with a coastal walk and a visit to Clovelly.

    Used all the space wisely to make a lovely compact hut. Charlotte was a brilliant hostess, very welcoming and informative. Off grid location using solar power. Once we arrived we wished we booked for a longer stay.

    We thought the hut was more remote with no one else around, however there is a tent just next to it. But it didn't make any difference to our stay and we would come back :-)

    It is an unusual accommodation where all small details were thought about. It had everything we needed, even a small wood burner that made the atmosphere even more cosy! Charlotte was very nice and checked we had everything we needed :-)

    Do not stay here if you need a VAT receipt for business expenses. The customer service from 'Travel Nest' the 'hosting company' who handle the money / invoicing was a total shambles. Never came back to me after lengthy phone calls and emails. A simple request wasted so much time and still have no VAT receipt........................................................................

    Stunning view.

    nothing to say!

    Having never been “glamping” before I wasn’t sure what to expect but having stayed at this stunning shepherd’s hut retreat I fear the bar has now been set very high! The communication from the host was excellent helping me to understand what was involved and answer any questions. When we arrived we were greeted on site and taken to the hut as it it was dark but the little fairy lights led the way too and started our magical adventure. Opening the door was better than I could of imagined, the interior was so cosy and welcoming and everything had been thought of, firewood for the wood burner and basic provisions such as oil, pepper, salt etc The bed was divinely comfortable and the indoor bathroom a welcome addition! The site itself is so beautiful and if you want to escape from it all look no further!

    Charlotte was exceptionally welcoming, lovely to chat to, and incredibly helpful with recommendations for walks and dinner etc. Both the Shepherds hut and Ivy Cottage, next door are gorgeous, beautifully decorated and so so cosy! The shepherds hut is perfectly situated to enjoy the sunrise and sunset. Our doggy was super happy and safe roaming around, enjoying the fields Shops and adorable local pubs are a short drive away, but once we were settled we didn’t want to leave! We have decided to do dry2023 and this was the Perfect retreat with a “middle of nowhere” vibe to kick off the year. Thank you for a lovely stay, we will definitely be back soon!

    Wonderful shepherds hut in a beautiful, peaceful, rural location! Very friendly, welcoming and professional hosts. The shepherds hut is fully kitted out with everything you could need with fabulous attention to detail and luxurious interior design. It was very comfortable and cosy, we especially enjoyed lighting the stove at night. The shepherds hut overlooks the rolling North Devon countryside and has spectacular views - such a treat to wake up to! A true glamping experience! Can't wait to stay again in the future, thank you so much!
