Set in an idyllic location surrounded by woodland, this lovingly fitted and furnished hut is the perfect escape for couples with plenty to explore on your doorstep.

This beautifully crafted woodland cabin is set in the tranquil heart of the Dartmoor National Park and is within easy reach of the Devonshire coast. It’s the perfect romantic hideaway for an outdoorsy couple or solo traveller and their canine companion. Grab the camera and venture through the mythical forest landscape to the cascading waters of Venford Falls, then gather around your fire pit and toast a sweet treat as you stargaze beneath the twinkling night sky.

This bespoke wood-panelled hut boasts a sleek and thoughtfully designed interior to fully maximise the compact space. Kick off muddy hiking boots then pad up the wooden steps and enter the inviting living space. Rustle up a simple supper in the stylish shaker-style kitchenette then crack open a bottle of good wine and dine at the intimate breakfast bar. Throw a log on the crackling wood burner and cosy up on the plush sofa then flick through your best landscape shots from the day. Enjoy a relaxing shower before resting up in the double bunk bed. Take advantage of the wonderfully secluded gravelled garden, the ideal spot for leisurely al fresco breakfasts or a sizzling BBQ feast and tipples.

Whether you are refuelling at a tearoom in the pretty moorland village of Holne, 2 miles, hiking and birdwatching along the burbling riverbanks at Hembury and Holne Woods, 3 miles, or strolling along the cliff-backed shores of Watacombe Beach, 20 miles, there is something to suit all tastes.

It was just what I was looking for. The Shepherd Hut was in a wonderful setting in the idyllic Devon countryside. The Shepherd's Hut had all that I needed and none of the things I didn't. On my final night there was even treated to a chorus by the sheep in the neighbouring field which was beautiful.

The hut is very well situated with easy access to the moor, the accomodation was of a very high standard and we wanted for nothing.
