The space
Cosy shepherd’s hut with log burner and large curved skylight which lets in lots of light in the day time and is great for stargazing at night time. The bathroom has a compost loo and powerful hot shower. There is a kitchenette with a two-ringed gas hob, fridge with freezer compartment, stove-top kettle and toaster. Double stable doors look out onto the field and surrounding hills. You have a private nature garden with wildflowers, willow igloo, raspberry canes, fruit trees and a vegetable / herb garden which you can help yourselves to. There is a hammock, gas BBQ, fire pit and dinghy for your use and an outdoor tap for muddy boots etc.
Next door to the hut live our friendly flock of chickens and resident cockerel.
Guest access

Many footpaths are accessible on foot from the hut as well as the Mill End Hotel which serves delicious Devonshire cream teas and Fingle Bridge / Castle Drogo which can also be accessed on foot via a lovely walk and about 30 minutes via the river.
