The whole experience was very enjoyable.

The setting is really charming, across the rural landscape of Hartland. The hut is charming, but duck if you are tall. This is an adventure experience, reliving camping out as a youngster. And as a 75 year old I found it immensely enjoyable. Our hosts, Rickie and Laura, were very helpful in the lead up to and during our stay.

In the middle of nowhere, peaceful with fantastic views.

If I am going to picky, private meadow was quite overgrown.

Campfire/sunset in a lovely natural area. The hut is really nice. Hosts brilliant, will provide info and provisions before you arrive. Lucky enough to get a fresh loaf on the house Sunday morning. Highly recommend to all.

Minor gripes only - would be nice if the blind on the front door was attached to the door rather than the wall so nightly loo breaks were easier rather than climbing under the blind. The shower gets hot very quickly even turning it down to minimum gas after starting so I had a lot of fiddling going from boiling to cold to boiling to cold. We don’t think we found the right pond as there was a tiny one straight on the walk but a bigger one on Google maps which we couldn’t find so not sure if it was the bigger one whether it could be signposted further along the trail. Thank you for a lovely stay - we hope to be back!

It’s the first time we have ever stayed in a Shepherds Hut so I was a little nervous at first and to be fair I booked it thinking our younger dog would love it the most but we all loved it. It was peaceful and our two dogs enjoyed it thoroughly. Our younger dog Archie had the time of his life. I think he is quite sad coming back to his little city garden. Ritchie was a lovely host and we so enjoyed the Farmers Arms recommendation - our meal there was fabulous.

It was a peaceful location with a countryside view. The sheppie was a lovely light space, a comfortable mattress, just lovely and natural .. out side shower and loo, but enclosed and almost joined to the hut. Wood burner made it cosy , dbl doors to outside and great outdoor cooking facilities .

This is the perfect place for a cozy getaway with a partner or a pet or both! The Shepherds hut is located in a corner of a large field with amazing views and a fenced area where your dog can roam safely. Inside is compact and cozy with the basic facilities you need to make your own meals, but you are also not far from Bude which is overflowing with options. However, if you are staying in this delightful location, my advice is to bring some food, a couple of bottles of wine and settle in to enjoy rural tranquility at its best.

Nothing at all.

The set up is amazing, very well thought through. No other shepherds huts, just yourselves! The inner meadow is enclosed so the dog had an absolute birthday romping in the grass.. we could just see her ears bouncing about and a tail wagging ferociously! I loved the feeling of being off grid although there was ample gas and electric. I was aware there was no WiFi which was part of the plan to get my teenager off their mobile and into a good book instead. The views are just stunning, real tranquility. The hosts were lovely.. they were at the end of the phone if needed but left you to it completely, they obviously lived near by but you couldn’t see any other properties from the hut.. total peace and quiet. The bed was also very comfortable.

The property was totally off grid, with water from a bore hole and electric from a solar panel and wind turbine. The view are amazing and its so peaceful, a great place to reconnect.

Loved it! The hut is really comfortable, has been well thought-out and has everything you need. The location's amazing, really quiet and secluded with gorgeous views out over the countryside towards the coast. It was lovely to sit outside with a glass of wine and watch the sunset next to the firepit. Our German Shepherd loved it too, he barely came inside the whole weekend - he was really happy just to nap in the grass or sit and watch the birds! The owners were lovely, they had the hut ready for us before our check-in time and were very quick to answer a couple of queries I had. Will definitely be back!

isolation

Stayed in October 2022

Absolutely nothing.

Hut as stated is in its own meadow and isolated - like you in a meadow on a hill with great views (and no phone signal). Very cool to ‘get away from it all’… It is well kept, furnished, comfortable and very cosy with external loo and shower (shower runs on the hot side). Great external area with outdoor stoves, bbq and fire bowl. There are good pubs nearby with sandy beaches a short drive away near Bude or up towards Bideford. You can walk directly to Speke’s Mill beach / waterfall / costal path etc from the Hut for more rugged terrain. If you have dogs they will absolutely love the area and adventure. I did too!
