Escape to this idyllic rural hideaway in the heart of the Devon countryside, where peace and quiet come as standard. Set on the fringes of Totnes, this characterful shepherd's hut is designed with couples in mind, and invites you for a digital detox in a setting that feels far removed from the rush of the world.
Stroll through the wildflower-dotted meadow and up the gentle hill to this quirky trio of shepherd's huts, each with its own character and bursting with bold patterns, colourful accents, and homely touches. Start the morning in the first hut, waking up with a steamy shower before heading to the second, where the compact yet functional kitchen is perfect for sizzling an English breakfast on the dual gas hob or chilling a bottle of fizz in the cool box for later. By afternoon, wander into the third hut, sink into a cosy armchair draped with a vibrant throw, and lose yourself in a good novel with a steaming mug of coffee as the wood burner crackles beside you. When night falls, retreat to the plush double bed dressed in crisp linens and drift off in comfort after a day of windswept countryside walks. In the morning, take in the rolling scenic surroundings by reclining on the decking furniture and firing up the BBQ.
If you can bear to retreat from your wonderful off-grid experience, then a lovely start is through the immediate surrounding meadow, where hens, goats and miniature donkeys roam and are a fascinating watch. Further afield, the heritage steam train is 7 miles away and offers spectacular scenery along the valley of the River Dart. History buffs are bound to enjoy traversing the grounds of the Norman Totnes Castle (3 miles) before coming back to the nearby pub (0.5 miles) for a slice of pie and a pint.
