Steal time out of your busy life to whisk your loved one off to this delightful Devon shepherd’s hut. Sleeping two guests, and welcoming a happy hound with open paws, the charming, one-bedroom hideaway is situated in verdant farmland near Ottery St Mary, 8 miles from Sidmouth and 12.5 miles from Exeter. Perfectly positioned for those who enjoy rural walks, as well as days on the coast, it comes complete with a fire pit where you can while away warm evenings with a glass of fizz under the stars.
Climb four steps to enter this appealing retreat, which is set on the owner’s farm but enjoys its privacy. Make yourselves comfortable in its beautifully crafted interior, which has been creatively designed with your comfort in mind. Prepare romantic meals for two in the bespoke, wooden kitchen area, or make cups of tea to enjoy with the fresh scones and Devon cream you have bought on your latest trip out. Dine together inside when the weather is less clement or out in the fresh air on fine, sunny days. Spend cosy evenings watching TV or reading your books from the comfort of the double bed. The shepherd’s hut also features its own shower room and WC. Bask in the sunshine in your private lawned area. Cook out here on the BBQ and light the fire pit as the sun begins to set.
Head into Ottery to stock up on local produce or make your way to Exeter for a day out in the city. Plan an afternoon on the beach at Sidmouth or pick up the South West Coast Path and walk 3 miles to Branscombe, with its golden sands. Enjoy a day trip to Lyme Regis, 19.5 miles away, with its museums, walks, water sports and opportunities for fossil hunting.
