About this property

Romantic Shepherds Hut for couples fully en-suite near Exmoor and the Coast

Book with us with confidence - we offer 100% refunds to anyone who is unable to stay with us if we are shut as a result of government restrictions at the time of your stay, there is no problem with social distancing here, and we have enhanced cleaning preformed by us along with sanitising stations.

Keepers Watch is our beautiful, romantic Shepherds Hut/Tiny House a true GLAMPing experience for couples. If you are looking to escape the norm for a bit, then this is the place for you. If you like the thought of the great outdoors and being close to nature and eco-friendly but are not so keen on the compost loo and walking to your cooking facilities or shower block then look no further.

Keepers Watch our tiny house has it all, stunning location and views, an en-suite shower room, fully functioning kitchen, internet, TV and all the electric you could wish for. It is fully heated and warm and toasty on the not so nice days. For those of you who want to engage with the great outdoors then you can cook outside if you wish on the open fire pit with western-style BBQ or simply toast some marshmallows. There are comfortable chairs for sitting around the fire, just chilling and a table and chair set for outdoor dining. In the evening sit and watch the star-filled skies – find a shooting star – and listen to the peace, quiet and wildlife while snuggled up in one of our soft 100% British Wool blankets, we even provide hot water bottles.

Keepers Watch is set on its own and is just a short walk from the old stone farmyard where the Barn and Stables our other holiday lets and our farmhouse are located. We are an adult only site with a maximum of six guests at a time so it is truly peaceful. The hut is tucked into the bank overlooking an ancient wood, river valley and farmland. RyePark is a growing smallholding with 11 acres of pasture and nature reserve all of which you are free to explore. There are beautiful walks on your doorstep across farmland, around reservoirs along the river bank or through the woods. Watch the lambs playing, give the sheep a cuddle and watch the chickens, just unwind and relax either at the Hut or at one of our picnic areas.

Keepers Watch has a double bed which folds down from the wall, but don't worry it is all made up and ready to jump into with its wool duvet and pillows. Calm and quiet for that restful night's sleep you have been longing for.

We also have the best location for discovering all that North Devon has to offer, from the amazing beaches of Woolacombe and Croyde to the wonders of Exmoor National Park. As an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, North Devon has it all - something for everyone and at the end of the day get away from everyone and everything and just relax in the stunning rural surroundings at RyePark. Go on treat yourself to something a little different this year and book some time away in our gorgeous hut - you won't be disappointed.

Just beautiful
What an amazing, beautiful place to spend the weekend. My wife and I spent a long weekend here and it could not have been more perfect, the shepherds hut was beautiful and had everything you could possibly need for your stay. The owner Maria was lovely and a joy to meet and nothing was too much trouble, all you had to do was ask. The area is just beautiful, with plenty of lovely walks and amazing views, I could not recommend this place highly enough, if you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful trip away in a beautiful area then look no further! Thank you so much Maria, Steve and the dogs for making our stay so wonderful.

Couldn’t be more perfect!
Goodness, where to start?!? Our stay in Keeper’s Watch was wonderful from beginning to end! Maria and Steve have the loveliest setting here, and the hut could not be more perfect. Maria has thought of every single thing (inside and out) that one could possibly want, and the extra touches (like the scrumptious cream tea, the fresh flowers, and a sweet surprise for our anniversary/husband’s birthday) just took our stay to the next level of bliss! Having the sheep as neighbors in the field at the front garden was so fun. We have traveled extensively and stayed in some amazing places, but Keeper’s Watch is one of the most special experiences we’ve had. We hope to visit again on our next trip back to England from the States. What a lovely little gem! Suzy & Eric — Vermont, USA

The most beautiful location
My boyfriend and I stayed at keepers watch in August for my 22nd birthday and I couldn't think of a more beautiful place to spend my birthday! The view was absolutely stunning, looking over the ancient forest! We managed to spot a stag on one of our walks in the forest Maria was lovely and friendly. We will be returning very soon
