Add your business details- Luxurious shepherd’s hut on a North Devon farm near Barnstaple
- A 20-minute drive to Woolacombe beach; and 25 minutes to Exmoor
- Glamping pod with woodland views; a pub within five minutes’ drive
Set on a hilltop near Barnstaple in North Devon, Fullabrook Farm Retreat is home to The Shepherdess shepherd’s hut. Based on a family-run working farm, this romantic lodging is ideal for a couples’ holiday amid spectacular woodland views – plus the chance to have the place to yourselves – apart from the grazing sheep in nearby fields of course.
Built from scratch by the site owners, the pod is decked out with a kingsize bed, dining and living space, plus an en-suite bathroom with a powerful, hot shower. Thoughtful extras here include robes and toiletries, plus a TV for chilling.
There’s a gas oven and hob in the dinky kitchenette, alongside a fridge with freezer and a stylish Belfast sink. There’s no danger of you feeling the cold on chillier evenings, as the hut has its own central heating.
For those sunny evenings, the private patio has a barbecue, tables and a firepit, so you can dine outside and cosy up around the fire as the night sets in – look out for some spectacular sunsets and starry displays on clear evenings.
If you can manage to drag yourselves from this lovely little spot, the local village is West Down (five minutes’ drive), which has a community-run shop for stocking up on barbecue essentials, as well as a foodie pub if you fancy a change of scenery.

Local attractions
Surfers will be keen to get right out onto the waves, and there are spectacular beaches at Saunton Sands, Croyde (both 25 minutes’ drive) and Woolacombe (20 minutes) where they can do just that. For less energetic days on the coast, try Putsborough beach (25 minutes) for strolls backed by cliffs, or have a potter in the rock pools at Barricane beach (20 minutes).
If you’re into your hiking, you can access the South West Coast Path at Mortehoe (20 minutes), or the Tarka Trail at Crow Point (25 minutes), which also has spectacular views of the Taw river estuary. Looking east, Exmoor National Park (25 minutes) offers endless walking and cycling options, as well as the chance to spot wild ponies or take to four wheels and book onto a nature safari to see deer and birds of prey.
Closer to base camp, there are gorgeous flower plantings to admire at Marwood Hill Gardens (five minutes), while Barnstaple (20 minutes) has a wonderful pannier market, where you can have a rummage for antiques and local produce from Tuesday to Saturday.
