Cute and compact with beautiful views, this traditional Sheperd’s hut is the ideal spot for a refreshing countryside break. Located on the owner’s farm, you’ll find hiking and cycle trails straight from the door and Dartmoor National Park is within easy reach. Your host can also help arrange horse riding or fishing on the nearby lake (available on request). Pets are welcome to join you and private parking is included in your stay. It’s worth noting the decor is rustic and basic, but this is a great option for those looking to disconnect and savour life’s simple pleasures.
