About this property
Indulge in extra-special rural relaxation with an idyllic escape in this delightful shepherd’s hut, perfect for a solo break or a romantic getaway for two. Surrounded by country walks and within easy reach of boat trips, beaches and picturesque towns and villages, it has lovely views and a welcoming interior in which to recharge your batteries.
Climb the four open-tread steps to the front door and enter this cute hideaway, in which everything – bar the efficient shower room – is conveniently arranged in one cosy space. For cooking up meals and snacks, you’ll have a two-ring hob, a microwave and a fridge/freezer, and there’s a dining shelf with two stools should you decide to eat indoors. Sit back and watch the TV from the comfort of the bench seat or recline on the king-size bed, set against the far wall. If you’re feeling the chill, switch on the wood-burner-effect electric fire, but mainly, in the summer months, you’ll want to throw open the door and let the outside in, feeling the fresh breeze and listening to birdsong. You can also drink or dine on the shingled area outside the hut, which is equipped with a fire pit/BBQ for additional culinary adventures.
You can explore both Devon and Cornwall from this superb location, or simply head out on walks from your doorstep. Beach lovers can reach Whitsand Bay, Downderry or Seaton within 11 miles, while adventure seekers will want to try Adrenaline Quarry, 10 miles away. The charming fishing village of Looe, which offers boat trips as well as boutiques and places to eat, is 12 miles away.

Delightful, cozy and comfortable Shepherd's hut in idyllic surroundings. The hut is compact but had everything I needed to enjoy a perfect week. There is outdoor space to sit and gaze over the fields enjoying views of the horses and Beano the Shetland pony while eating or having a drink. Ideal location for exploring Dartmoor as well as the Cornish coast and countryside. The hosts and everyone else I encountered in the area were friendly and super helpful and I really enjoyed my stay.

Lovely cabin, lovely location and a lovely host. Myself, my partner and our dogs really enjoyed the local walks and the total peace and quiet. We'll be coming back soon!
