Treat your special someone to a romantic getaway at this quaint shepherd's hut, which is perched on the edge of a working farm just 2.5 miles outside Bideford. Sleeping two people in one double sleeping area, it’s perfect for couples who are searching for a romantic bolthole with a private hot tub and a fire pit. Head into Bideford to set off on a hike along the famous Tarka Trail, or make a beeline for the pretty estuary village of Instow to stroll along the quay and check out the local foodie scene. In the evening, come home to your tranquil lodge to sink into the hot tub and watch the sun drop towards the horizon.

Park in your private spot and climb the three steps up to the lodge’s front door. Step inside this light, bright and cleverly designed shepherd's hut and you’ll find a compact kitchen area with a dining table for romantic meals. There’s also a small seating area - the perfect place to curl up with a book or catch up on your favourite TV shows. A stylish wood burner adds to the romantic ambience. A cosy double sleeping area and a smart shower room completes the interior layout. Outside, take in the spectacular views all the way to the coast - as far as Lundy on a clear day - from your private enclosed garden. Unwind on a sun lounger, dine alfresco at the picnic bench, or follow the farm's woodland paths down to the River Torridge below.

Head into Bideford (2.5 miles) to browse the quayside market or join the Tarka Trail. Alternatively, stop to see the flowers in bloom at RHS Garden Rosemoor (10 miles), or make a beeline for Westward Ho! (6 miles) for some traditional seaside fun.
