Valley view

Soak up the view during your stay.
Enjoy the lovely setting of this romantic spot in nature. This shepherds hut has the most beautiful views across Exmoor and towards the sea. Approximately 150 steps and you are out in the Exmoor National park where you will be able to enjoy all the wilderness and wildlife that your soul yearns for. You will be able to walk for miles without seeing a single person.
Although remote it is only a mile to the nearest shop and two miles to Lynton and Lynmouth where there are great pubs and takeaways

The space
There is a double bed and a small single bed which is perfect for children but not for a very large adult. Small children can 'top and tail' as it has sides and they can't fall out!
There is an outside private shower with plenty of hot water and a compostable loo. These are just five steps from the hut.
Although there is a tap outside the hut this isn't drinking water which is fine if boiled but you should bring your own water or fill up your bottles from the outside nearby kitchen tap.
Please note that this is in the countryside on a farm and invariably there will be flies, spiders and the occasional cobweb. Please don't book if you can't cope with this. PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU CANNOT MANAGE WITHOUT WIFI THEN YOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF IN ONE OF THE COTTAGES AS IT CAN BE TEMPERAMENTAL!

Guest access
The hut is reasonably close to the house so more than one dog or one that likes to wander isn't advised as our dogs can be a bit over friendly and may be a nuisance for you. There is plenty of space for you to wander around but if you want to have a whole field to yourself then please look at our Sunset Shepherd hut

Other things to note
Well behaved dogs welcome but the Sunset Hut is more suitable if you have more than one dog as it is on its own in a field and is away from the house.

Neighbourhood highlights

Set within the Exmoor, our shepherd hut would have one of the finest views on Exmoor. It looks out onto the moors in one direction and over the sea in the other. If you like wilderness and beautiful scenery then this is the place to come. Total peace and quiet.
Only one hundred and fifty steps and you are out onto the open moors with miles of walking in front of you.
Whilst it feels remote and peaceful on one hand there are local amenities within five minutes in a car - Lynton and Lynmouth have everything you could want including a local cinema for the rainy days.
There is a drying room available near the hut in case your clothes need drying after the long walk on the moors.
Enjoy sitting around the firepit in the evening absorbing the beauty of the dark skies and stars that you would never see in a city.
