Shepherd's hut

Liked: What an amazing space to disconnect with everything and just relax and enjoy all the little details that made us wish to be there every weekend! Well equipped inside, nice private space outside with a cherry on top (hot tub).

Shepherd's hut

Liked: Excellent hut. clean, tidy, very welcoming - very thoughtful touches and additional treats left. Well equipped with basics and additional luxury touches. Great BBQ and hot-tub, and fire pit too. Everything we needed for our short visit, but further supplies available if needed which was great. Breakfast supplies were provided and a range of toiletries too, robes and towels for hot tub, candles. binoculars and a great bird book, maps, games for wet days, radio. Outlook onto woodlands, very private and lots of wildlife - birds, deer, dragonflies etc, private and secluded. Owners had great communication but left us to enjoy the seclusion. A real get-away-from-it-all, so peaceful and quiet, great place to just 'be' and let the the stresses ebb away. Had a visit from the cat and the dog which was lovely. Easy to get to, great directions sent ahead of the visit, not far off A30

Disliked: Nothing

Shepherd's hut

Liked: Nothing to dislike. Was left to our own devices the whole stay. Well equipped with everything we needed. Hosts were only a doorbell or call away if anything was required. All information to hand. Perfect chilled and beautiful location, unfortunately the weather was against us to appreciate it fully

Disliked: The weather putting a dampner on things so didn't explore as much as we'd liked

Shepherd's hut

Liked: The hut was immaculate and so cosy! Usually when you book theses places there is always a condiment or utensil of some sort missing.. I didnt have to shop for any of that! Absolutley everything you can think of was provided! The fire was warm in the evenings and the hot tub was perfect! We had no inturruption from the owners at all, we really felt lovely an secluded yet they were only a text away if needed! The hot tub being undercover meant we were able to use it even in the bad weather we had! It really is a perfect place to switch off youre phone, relax, bird watch and just be in nature whilst having the luxury of a large hot tub and beautiful outdoor seating area!

Disliked: WiFi has a low rating because there wasn't any! But in a place like this it's not needed so not a dislike 🙂

Local attractions

As this is an adults-only place, why not indulge in some over-18s days out? There are a few vineyards dotted around nearby for tours and tastings – Carey Valley Wines (10 minutes' drive), Alder Vineyard (20 minutes) and Torview Winery & Vineyard (25 minutes) are all worth a look. There are also cider producers to visit if you’re more apples than grapes – try Countryman Cider (half an hour), The Cider Vat (35 minutes) and Sam’s Cider (40 minutes). For scenic trails and wildlife spotting, Dartmoor National Park (25 minutes) can be explored in a number of ways – how about horse riding on the open moor or climbing the granite tors? Or visit the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (35 minutes), where you can take the Tamar Valley Line train or Tamar Passenger Ferry to see the sights. Fancy a bit of sand under your feet instead (and maybe a paddle in the sea)? Take advantage of your proximity to Cornwall and cross the border for some of the county’s famous beaches. Bude (40 minutes) is a good choice, for its sandy beaches and surfing spots.
