Situated just off a working family farm in Cornwall, this beautiful shepherd’s hut is perfect for a couple looking for a peaceful rural retreat surrounded by countryside. The immediate area is a haven for wildlife, and walkers can enjoy some picturesque strolls direct from the property to explore Barton Millenium Wood, Millenium Wood in North Petherwin or Beales Medow Nature Reserve (2.5 miles).
Step inside via three steps to a charming property perfectly designed with a comfortable living/sleeping area boasting a wood burner and underfloor heating for those chillier nights. It’s the perfect space for relaxing after a day of exploring. The modest kitchen is beautifully presented and offers all you need for simple suppers. At the end of the day, retire to a king-size bed. Completing the inside is an en-suite shower room, making for a comfortable stay in this delightful rustic environment. Stepping outside, you can enjoy a private, spacious lawn and patio area with comfortable outdoor furniture to enjoy dining outdoors. A real treat is the wood-fired hot tub to take in those glorious views of Dartmoor and take advantage of a clear night sky to stargaze.
For those who enjoy getting out and about in nature, you are ideally placed with Bodmin Moor, the Tamar Valley and Dartmoor National Park, all under 20 miles away. If golden sands and turquoise waters are also on the agenda, then the beautiful seaside town of Bude (14 miles) is worth a day trip with its three stunning beaches and lovely array of local shops and fine eateries. The town also provides access to the South West Coast Path. Another local attraction accessible from the property is Launceston (6.5 miles), a bustling market town with a Norman castle.

This was a lovely treat to ourselves. So relaxing to come back after a day exploring Cornwall to the comfortable spacious hottub. Privacy and gorgeous view. Only simple cooking is possible in the little hut, 1 pit. It did not have a frying pan.
Mr Edwards
We had a really good time, quite peaceful with very nice kind helpful people.
Mrs Harper
Lovely property, very clean and tidy. Nice little welcome pack on arrival. The owner was really lovely. It says it’s on a working farm but other than the animals you can see, you wouldn’t even know as it was so quiet. Not that we minded noise as we love farms! I took my husband away for his birthday and he was over the moon with the property, he can’t wait to go back again.
