Enjoy Mid Devon views and walks from the doorstep of this dairy farm retreat. Just 6 miles from market town, Tiverton, the handcrafted hideaway is perfect for a pet-loving pair, with high-end enhancements including underfloor heating and shared use of a tennis court.

Get a contemporary taste of country life with a break at this bijou couples' bolthole. Set within the grounds of a working dairy farm, it brings a new level of luxury to tiny-house living, with a studio-style layout where two can unwind comfortably at any time of year. Wooden steps lead to the front door; head across the threshold and you're straight into an open-plan living space with wooden panelling and thoughtful detailing throughout. Large windows on each side frame the surrounding landscape - open them for some fresh air while you cook, chat at the breakfast bar or snuggle on the sofa as a favourite movie plays on the Smart TV opposite. When it's time to sleep, a king-size bed beckons, and a modern shower room completes your comfort. The property sits within an enclosed garden area, with cattle often grazing in the neighbouring pastures. For those with sporting prowess, a shared tennis court is available for use by arrangement with the owners, and there's ample off-road parking so you can unpack and explore the local area at your leisure.

You'll find friendly local inns in the nearby villages of Uplowman and Sampford Peverell - the Grand Western canal runs through the latter, providing scenic views plus easy walking and cycling routes. Stock up on self-catering supplies in Tiverton, a historic market town that's home to a castle with beautiful walled gardens. For more must-see landmarks, visit Bickleigh Castle (10 miles) and the National Trust's Knightshayes Court (5 miles).

We had a 5 days at The shepherds hut. It was clean and nicely furnished, it had everything you needed if you wanted to stay in for an evening and cook a meal. The views are stunning and we were made welcome by the owners of the farm. We loved seeing the cows walking by on their way to be milked and then seeing them out in the fields. Peaceful and rRead moreelaxing break. Hide
