Wake up each morning to sweeping views of Devon's patchwork fields while staying in this romantic shepherd's hut in the tranquil village of Newton Tracey. A bolthole for two, this thoughtfully designed glamping retreat offers peace, comfort and endless relaxation, with cosy interiors and generous outdoor spaces to enjoy whatever the British weather brings. Fabulous walks and nature trails begin right from the doorstep, while the village's welcoming local pub is just a few minutes away – the perfect place to round off a day of adventure.

The hut has been handcrafted with convenience in mind, featuring a cleverly designed studio-style living space that prioritises comfort above all else. Step inside to find a compact kitchen alongside a dining area that transforms into a sleeping space at night. The kitchen is equipped with an oven and two-ring electric hob, making it easy to cook throughout your stay, while the dining area sits opposite a wall-mounted TV for relaxed evenings indoors. When night falls, the double bed folds down over the table. Just off the main living space, an en-suite shower room provides everything needed to start the day feeling refreshed. Outside, the beautifully landscaped garden offers multiple seating areas and winding paths leading to neighbouring fields, woodland and a charming stream. Private parking is also available for two cars.

You're perfectly placed for exploring Devon's spectacular coastline, with Barnstaple just 5 miles away and the beach at Westward Ho! 8 miles from the property. This sweeping sandy beach is a fantastic destination for sea swimming, surfing and coastal walks, backed by dunes and home to surf schools offering equipment hire and lessons. From here, follow the South West Coast Path to Abbotsham Cliffs (9 miles), taking in the rugged coastal scenery along the way.

Had a wonderful weekend stay at the Herdy Hut - highlight is the amazing outdoor space for relaxing and enjoying the sun and the views. Indoors has everything you need, very comfortable bed, and a load of lovely little touches. A great choice for a getaway from the city, would absolutely recommend and would happily return in future
