From the owner

Looking for the ideal romantic weekend or short mid-week get-away? Look no further. Our cosy Shepherd’s Hut will fit the bill. See our Facebook Page 'Christines Shepherds Hut' for latest news

We can provide the perfect solution to those looking for a chance to escape from the hustle and bustle of busy lives. This is an opportunity to really relax and unwind in lovely, peaceful surroundings. With beautiful views in the day, amazing evening sunsets and starry, starry night skies (weather permitting!)

The Shepherd’s Hut is situated in its own enclosed paddock, adjacent to our home, Bridge End. It is ideal for couples requiring a short break in the West Country. Located in the beautiful countryside of north-west Devon, our nearest town is Holsworthy, 2 miles (5 mins) away, with its branch of Waitrose and renowned Wednesday farmer’s markets.

The hut is fully equipped for easy self-catering and has everything you might need for your stay. The kitchen and en-suite shower room are fully plumbed, with hot and cold running water. An electric heater and towel rail ensures you will be toasty warm, whatever the weather. A comfortable double bed folds up to provide a table and two padded bench seats for dining and relaxing. All bed linen and towels are included.

The private area outside the hut is furnished with a café table and chairs for al fresco eating and a fire pit to toast marshmallows and keep you warm.

We’ll supply you with a small “welcome pack” to start your break (either breakfast or a cream tea). If you are celebrating a special event – birthday, anniversary or perhaps an engagement – we can arrange for a bottle of “fizz”, chocolates or flowers to greet you on your arrival.

The holiday town of Bude with its famous surfing beaches is easily accessible (approx. 20 mins by car). Other local attractions include the lovely north-west coastline with sandy beaches and beautiful cliff walks. With the Ruby Way and Tamar Lakes close by; the area is also ideal for walking, cycling, fishing and horse riding. Alternatively, the award-winning gardens of RHS Rosemoor and various National Trust properties, such as Lanhydrock will give you a day out to remember.
