Tucked into a private corner of a wide, open field on a working Devonshire farm, this bespoke shepherd’s hut offers a truly romantic place to stay, complete with thoughtful touches and luxurious details throughout. The retreat sits just a short distance from the village of North Molton, home to a friendly local inn and scenic footpaths that wind into the vast moorlands and mystical woodlands of Exmoor National Park. A paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, this breathtaking national park offers endless, ever-changing scenery, from rolling hills and rugged clifftops to tranquil riverside trails. Explore the coastline within 17 miles, follow the River Barle (8 miles), or seek out wild ponies grazing on Porlock Hill (17.5 miles) and around Withypool (9 miles). For local amenities, explore South Molton (6.5 miles), a local community known for its exceptional offering in shops, cafes and a bi-weekly market to tour in between hiking and biking excursions.
Custom-built for comfort and finished with a stylish eye, this studio-style lodge is designed to impress. Take the few steps up into the hut, entering through French doors that frame a delightful view of the surrounding countryside. On one side, a compact kitchenette is perfectly equipped for light meal prep – ideal for leisurely breakfasts or assembling packed lunches for a day’s adventure. You’ll find an overflowing welcome pack waiting here on arrival, including luxury toiletries for your outdoor bath. Opposite, a wood burner provides a warming glow when temperatures drop, creating a cosy, romantic atmosphere. At the far end, a sumptuous king-size bed promises a restful night’s sleep, while a Smart TV entertains on laid-back evenings in. A spacious, modern shower room completes this immaculate interior.
Step outside and into your private section of the field – an enclosed, furnished garden designed for al fresco relaxation. Spend sunny afternoons and starlit evenings here, enjoying the outdoor seating, charcoal BBQ, fire pit and the outside bath. Slip on your complimentary robe, sink into the warm water, and watch the countryside fade into dusk. Private parking for two cars is provided. The hut is tucked into a private corner of a field on a working farm. From the parking area, it's a five-minute walk down across the field to the shepherd's hut, which is nestled away at the bottom.
