Summary:
Experience glamping at its finest in this luxurious shepherd's hut near Sidmouth. As peace, tranquillity and seclusion await. Larger than your average shepherd’s hut, find a master double bedroom alongside an additional bunk bed sleeping four in total. Rustle up delicious meals in your full kitchen or outside on the BBQ-fire pit, spend afternoons reading in your cosy reading nook and take a bath under the stars. A truly unforgettable retreat amongst nature’s splendour.
The Space:
Nestled in a secluded valley with distant sea views, this is the perfect place to escape for peace and relaxation. Your luxurious shepherd’s hut has bags of space, both inside and out, so you’ll be more than comfortable. On warm days, fling open the double doors and enjoy the best of indoor-outdoor living. Find a BBQ-fire pit to toast marshmallows, an outdoor bathtub for long alfresco soaks, plus ample walking routes to set off from the door. When the weather turns, hunker down with the wood-burner on and something hearty cooking on the stove.
Decorated in rich shades of greens with beautiful linen and velvet furnishings, The Bothy has the feel of a boutique hotel. The double master bedroom and additional bunk bedroom all have picturesque views out across the valley. Perfect for lazy mornings with a cup of tea or coffee in bed. Meanwhile, next door, the well-sized bathroom boasts a large shower. Free parking is available.
Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire hut and surrounding garden.
The Neighborhood:
In spite of its isolated rural position, the hut is remarkably well connected and is in a great position from which to explore some of Devon's beautiful beaches and attractions. Head to Sidmouth (10 mins), Branscombe, Beer (15 mins) or Lyme Regis, Exmouth, Topsham and the medieval city of Exeter (within 25 mins). Closer to the hut, there is a renowned family pub which serves great food which borders the farm and is a short walk directly from the hut. Or enjoy a drink and dining at the Pig at Combe hotel, which is 5 mins by car.
Getting Around:
We would recommend bringing a car to make the most of your stay here, and there is parking available just outside the hut. It is just under 3 hours on the fast train from London to our nearest rail station in Honiton which is 10 minutes away by taxi or ~15 minutes by bus. There is a bus stop conveniently located at the entrance to the farm which goes from Honiton to Sidmouth and Exeter.
Other Things to Note:
Please note: The track from the road down to the huts is quite bumpy, mainly due to wear from winter weather. Please take care when driving down.
The bunk beds are suitable for children and small teenagers.
If you haven't done so already, please notify us prior to your stay if you are planning on bringing your dog. We charge an additional fee of £30 per dog (maximum 2). For longer stays we may ask for an additional pet deposit to be paid. However, you will be notified of this at the time of booking should this be applicable.

- If your dog is moulting, we ask that you do a clean-up with the dustpan and brush to avoid hair buildup.
