Proof that great things come in small packages, this rural shepherd's hut in South Devon offers a real sense of off-grid bliss. Whether you prefer hiking or cycling, this cleverly designed hideaway is perfect for couples seeking to explore the stunning Devon landscapes.

Inside this bespoke bolthole, a beautiful blend of calm and cosy, with soft creams and rustic woods, provides the ultimate space to unwind. The open-plan layout offers a wood burner, a compact yet functional kitchen, and a tucked-away king bed that boasts rolling hillside views while enjoying brekkie in bed. Enjoy a cup of tea at the dining table for two, or perhaps, compete for a champion at a round of cards. When it's sunny, retire to the hammock for dreamy naps before striking up the fire pit for a flame-grilled feast at the outdoor table. The decking is the perfect spot for romantic dinners and stargazing, while the sunlight brings new visions of the splendid green views. Finishing off this back-to-nature getaway is the spacious shower room.

Outdoorsy couples and adventurous solo travellers will be in their element with the number of rural spots to explore. With just 7 miles from Dartmoor National Park, there's a fantastic choice of trails, cycling routes and wild swimming spots to discover. For those seeking golden sands, Blackpool Sands, Castle Cove, and Torcross Beach are all within a 10-mile drive and offer days of bathing and beachfront cafes. If you prefer to seek out historic sights, then the vibrant market town of Totnes (5 miles) is a must, with quirky, independent retailers, seasonal foods, and a bustling weekly market.

Wasn't prepared to find such a stunning location. Set in it's own garden, all fenced in so we could relax as our dog was contained. The views were stunning. The hut was wonderfully fitted out with a generous supply of logs for the outside fire pit as well as the dinky little stove inside. Very comfortable bed. Sharp cooking knives. A great little tRead morewo burner and very efficient small oven. Because the flat well tended garden that surrounds the hut is set into a bank you end up almot sitting in the canopy of some sizeable oak trees growing below, which was a delight with a wide range of birds flitting about. The birds, along with the odd sheep and cows were the only thing you could hear, apart from a car going up the quiet lane about once an hour. There was a couple of very comfortable seats on the deck as well as the recliners by the fire pit. Some lovely blankets to wrap up in after enjoying the sunsets. Our hosts could not have been more willing to help out with any questions at all. Any texts were answered within a few minutes. Would highly recommend staying here. You won't be dissappointed. Hide

We had an amazing stay in this property. Lovely remote location, perfect for a stress free holiday. Property is very well fitted out for the size and the log burner was a cosy addition. Short drive away from Salcombe, Dartmouth etc for trips out. Would definitely come back.

We absolutely loved our stay and didnt want to leave. The shepherds hut has been so beautifully decorated, every small detail has been thought of, and the bed was super comfortable. The views and the surroundings are stunning and so private and peaceful. The owners gave you privacy, but were on hand if needed, and responded so quickly to everythingRead more. Overall we loved it, and would highly recommend and hope to return in future. Hide
