Devon, Devon, England
A shepherd's hut set in a historic orchard on the edge of Exmoor at Way Farm, with views over grazing pedigree cattle and rolling Devon countryside. The hut is finished to a notably high specification: 1000 thread count Egyptian cotton bedding, a full-size shower, and a wood-fired hot tub accessed via a woodchip path from the parking area. Free-range eggs from the farm come in the welcome pack.
With 479 reviews and a 4.98 rating, this is one of the most reviewed and highest-rated huts in the South West. The farm runs a seasonal operation, with cattle visible from November to March and farm tours available on request. Local restaurants tend to close on Monday evenings, so pre-booking meals is advisable. No pets allowed. The strict 11am checkout reflects the tight turnaround of a popular property.
1000 thread count bedding in a shepherd's hut on a working cattle farm. The contrast between the luxury of the finish and the agricultural setting is what makes Orchard Hut memorable.
Many reviews praised Orchard Hut for its lovely stay, highlighting the hot tub as a real treat. Guests frequently expressed gratitude to Gemma for the experience.
