At the end of a quiet country track, where hedgerows lean in and the air feels fresher somehow, your shepherd’s hut awaits, a snug retreat that perfectly marries rustic character with thoughtful modern comfort. Step inside and the world outside gently fades away. The king-size bed, layered with soft, inviting linens, sits ready for slow mornings with coffee and birdsong drifting through the door. There is a fully fitted kitchen including hob, oven and fridge, along with all the essentials you need to cook anything from a hearty breakfast to a relaxed evening meal.

As dusk settles, step outside to light the Firepit and let the scent of woodsmoke curl into the evening sky. The firepit becomes the heart of the night, perfect for stargazing and sharing stories beneath wide, unspoilt skies. Nature surrounds you here, pheasants wander through the grass with quiet confidence, and deer can often be seen basking in nearby fields, adding a magical sense of calm to your stay.

Just five miles away, the North Devon coast unfolds in spectacular fashion. Ilfracombe’s picturesque harbour, lined with colourful houses and seafood restaurants, is the perfect starting point for exploration.

From here, discover dramatic cliffs that plunge into turquoise waters, secret coves tucked along winding coastal paths, and expansive sandy beaches like Woolacombe and Croyde, famous for their golden sands and rolling surf. Walk stretches of the South West Coast Path for breathtaking sea views, watch seals along the shoreline, or catch a boat trip to Lundy Island for a true taste of wild beauty. Whether you crave windswept adventure or peaceful seaside moments, North Devon offers a coastline that feels both untamed and unforgettabl
