  • Bespoke shepherd’s hut on the Hartland Peninsula
  • Walk to Hartland Abbey, Hartland village and the South West Coast Path
  • Woodburning stove, outdoor firepit and kitchen facilities provided
Dashing off to Devon's Hartland Peninsula for wild coastal walks and peaceful countryside? The lush landscapes are in full view at Quincecote. In a National Landscape and just 45 minutes’ walk away from a stretch of the South West Coast Path that's known for its tough climbs and rewarding views (of rocky cliffs, wild coves and that kind of good stuff), this bespoke shepherd’s hut is very well situated. The shepherd’s hut is in a peaceful garden setting and it doesn’t hold back on mod cons. Blast some feelgood tunes on Bluetooth radio speakers and then set about concocting a tasty breakfast or dinner using the kitchen (which has a fridge, toaster, gas hob, kettle and sink). A fold-down table is provided, and there’s a cosy woodburning stove with a supply of wood and an outdoor firepit to set the mood. The double bed is foldable too, to give you extra floor space. With an integrated bathroom equipped with a large shower, the hut should be rather comfy indeed. Solar panels help to offset your carbon footprint and sea views are a reminder of the nearby coast. When you’re not busy tracking down cliffs and coves, set off through the fields and woods to Hartland village for a coffee or pub grub – it's only a 10-minute walk away. Hartland Abbey is 35 minutes’ walk away from the hut too, and it has parklands full of peacocks and donkeys and peaceful woodland walks.

Ceri J.

Shepherd's hut

Liked Loved the whole property, really well set up and a amazing use of space withing the hut. Anna has also thought about every little touch and item you might need for your stay.

It is also completely silent at night (give or take the odd animal noise), sat on the decking for a few hours reading (sadly a cloudy night so no star gazing).

Disliked Nothing at all

Phillip W.

Shepherd's hut

Liked Everything. The location was beautiful with a view of Hartland, a beautiful small secluded garden with picnic table, lounge seats, balcony chairs and a bench. The hut was a hotel room in miniature with a double fold down bed. The owner was super helpful for a small fee provided breakfast and sandwiches.

Local attractions

Walk the entire length of the Hartland Peninsula’s coastal path and you'll soon happen upon Hartland Quay (10 minutes’ drive), a former harbour with rugged cliffs, rockpools and a museum that doles out the gossip on the quay’s smuggling history. Hartland Point (10 minutes) is another point on the route. At 99 metres above the sea, the headland has excellent views over the peninsula’s cliffs. It’s next to the helicopter pad for departures to Lundy Island, where seals, puffins and walking trails are the hot attractions. Get a tick-list of things to visit nearby sorted perhaps… good inclusions might be the stunning Speke's Mill Mouth Waterfall (10 minutes) surrounded by valleys and cliffs, the ancient fishing village of Clovelly (15 minutes) and all the hiking spots between Welcombe (25 minutes) and Clovelly. Down south, there are historic Cornish villages like Boscastle (55 minutes) and its ravine, port and witchcraft museum or Tintagel (an hour) and its clifftop castle. Bude (35 minutes) has heaps of surfing beaches, including nearby Sandymouth Bay Beach (half an hour).
