Devon, Devon, England
A bespoke shepherd's hut in a private three-acre field in North Devon, with a meandering stretch of the River Mole running through the grounds. The hut is built for comfort with a king-size bed, underfloor heating, log burner, and a combination microwave and oven. A wood-fired hot tub overlooks the field, and 250 metres of the river is available for fishing with a valid permit. A Devonshire cream tea is provided on arrival.
The setting requires a somewhat steep walk from the parking area, which may not suit those with mobility issues, but the seclusion it provides is genuine. At 4.99 across 126 reviews, the rating is near-flawless. Check-in days are fixed to Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, which is worth noting when planning. Privacy is taken seriously, with hosts keeping contact minimal and relying on a comprehensive information book.
The private river frontage is the standout. A 250 metre stretch of the River Mole with fishing rights, plus a hot tub and cream tea on arrival, all at 128 a night.
Many reviewers describe this getaway as beautiful and peaceful, praising the hut and its thoughtful hosts who attend to every detail. Highly recommended by visitors for a special experience. 😊
