About the property
This gorgeous shepherd's hut in Exmoor is perfect for a couple looking for a cosy and romantic retreat in total peace, quiet and seclusion. Escaping the stresses of modern life is easy here. Refreshingly, there isn't a TV or WiFi, the perfect opportunity for a total digital detox and to relish the therapeutic benefits of nature in your own private woodland hideaway. There are lots of little luxuries, plus a snug indoor sitting area and an outdoor decked area with a wood-fired hot tub and fire pit where you can spend evenings stargazing in the clear Exmoor sky.
The space
This shepherd's hut has an open-plan space that incorporates the lounge, kitchen, dining and sleeping area, all tastefully decorated in an elegant, rustic style.

The lounge area has two comfortable armchairs and a coffee table and is the ideal place to snuggle up in front of the wood burner. There is no TV or WiFi at this property, but that just makes it all the more appealing to anyone who wants to completely switch off for a while.

Meanwhile, the kitchen is well equipped with a mini gas oven and three-ring gas hob, plus a small fridge, ample amenities for chilling those drinks and cooking simple meals.

The sleeping area features a king-size bed (with space to walk around it) and is a welcoming place to take the weight off your feet and enjoy the fabulous views through the window.

There is also a modern wet room with a large shower cubicle, a wash basin and a WC.

Outside there's a large, decked area with a picnic bench and sun loungers, as well as a wood-fired hot tub and a fire pit. It's the perfect secluded spot to totally unwind and enjoy the sounds of nature. There's also a log store where you can take logs for the wood burner, fire pit and wood-fired hot tub.
