Property information

Luxury shepherd’s hut for two set in private woodland where you can relax in the wood-fired hot tub with just the sounds of nature and the stars of the dark Exmoor skies for company.

Neighbourhood information

The neighbourhood The shepherd’s hut is perfectly placed for exploring the stunning Exmoor National Park and Somerset. If you’re feeling energetic, begin with a walk through Snowdrop Valley up to the summit of Dunkery Beacon, which is the highest point on Exmoor. From here, there are amazing, far-reaching views across the surrounding moorland and of the Bristol Channel. Meanwhile, the local village of Wheddon Cross is just 2.5 miles away and has a local shop and a pub. If you’re visiting in February, you’re also likely to see the gorgeous displays of snowdrops that carpet the area, for which the village is renowned. If you’re looking for a little bit more life, on the outskirts of Exmoor is the town of Dunster with its medieval heritage, winding cobbled streets and thatched cottages. There are plenty of shops, tea rooms and galleries to peruse, while it also boasts the National Trust site of Dunster Castle and Watermill which is an ancient castle and a country home with a subtropical garden. Other attractions in the area include the West Somerset Steam Railway and the iconic water-powered cliff railway that connects the fishing village of Lynmouth and the Victorian village of Lynton perched 500 feet above. Not too far from Lynton is the Valley of the Rocks which can be accessed on a lovely walk incorporating the South West Coast Path. The Valley of the Rocks is a dry valley that runs parallel to the sea and is well known for its free-ranging, feral goats. Getting around A car is essential for travelling to the property and ease of getting around. There is a parking area at the entrance to the woods and from here it is a 5-minute walk along a path (which can become muddy) to the hut. A trolley is provided for you to transport your luggage.
