Property code: OC-60112

Retreat to this delightful shepherd's hut, which nestles on a working farm, deep in picturesque Devon. Sleeping up to two guests, the romantic abode enjoys far-reaching rural views from its setting approximately 1.5 miles from Uplowman. Soak up the scenery from the luxury of your private hot tub or play a game of tennis on the shared court. Take one delighted dog with you if you choose and head straight out on long county walks.

Climb a few steps up to your charming lodge to experience its creatively designed, studio-style accommodation. Find a kitchen area with ample space for preparing delicious dinners for two, as well as a breakfast bar for dining. Light the wood burner on chilly evenings and settle down on the comfortable seating to watch a DVD or Smart TV. Find your comfortable bed tucked neatly at one end of your cosy hut, which has underfloor heating. Wake up in the morning to enjoy a hot shower in the cleverly incorporated shower room before stepping out on to the deck for breakfast in the sunshine. Wait for the BBQ to heat up in the evening while you relax in your hot tub, take in the views and gaze up at the stars as night falls.

Stretch your legs with a walk of almost 9 miles to the National Trust's Knightshayes Court. Visit the splendid Gothic Revival mansion, which houses some fascinating collections of art; stroll in acres of immaculate garden and parkland while you are here. Spend an afternoon in Tiverton, 5.5 miles away, where you can visit the fortress of Tiverton Castle, dating back to 1106, or the 11th-century Bickleigh Castle, with its moated gardens.

Location is lovely. The farm staff are very friendly and helpful. The hut was clean and adequately equipped. The humming of the hot tub in quiet times can be disturbing to a light sleeper. We couldnt get the internet to connect but didnt contact the owner.

Great views, looking across hills and the surrounding farms. The outside seating area is private and you can confidently use the hot tub.

A very cosy and warm hut with good cooking options and very comfortable bed. The shower is good and great to have underfloor heating for chillier days. Lovely to have a hot tub, although this had a noisy hum to block out at night. Be prepared for visits from the farm dogs! Overall a good place to stay.

Lovely hut on a dairy farm, WiFi wasn't working and the hot tub is tricky to get started. The view from the hut is stunning and dog works around fields are amazing but can get very boggy if it rains too much, so don't forget wellies! Pls be aware of a lot of flies in the hut as it is a dairy farm!
