Relax and unwind in this beautiful off-grid shepherds hut nestled in an orchard on our working farm. Set on a small glamping site near the coast, it's the perfect base to explore beautiful Exmoor.
Our hut has a wood fired hot tub heated for your arrival on the first night, comfy double bed, wood burning stove, outdoor firepit and your own private toilet /shower room just 30m away making this the perfect space to experience nature with all the luxuries needed for a truly relaxing stay.

The space
The off-grid hut provides a chance to escape from technology with just a radio, books & board games for entertainment. Solar power runs the lights & fridge whilst the wood burning stove keeps you warm on cooler nights.
The hut has a double bed with cotton bedding provided, a sofa, and gas hob for basic cooking. All cooking equipment, cutlery, glasses & crockery is provided.
There is no running water in the hut but mains tap water is available in the nearby facilities building with washing up area. A real chance to enjoy the experience of camping with all the luxury of a comfortable bed & hot showers. This is true "glamping,"
Your own heated shower and toilet room is situated just 30 metres away with Faith in Nature body wash, shampoo & conditioner included.
Outside the hut there is a table & chairs to enjoy alfresco dining, your very own firepit with grill for delicious BBQ's and snuggling around on cool evenings. The large wood burning hot tub allows to you soak away all your stresses, and enjoy the surroundings of the orchard listening to the birds singing & after dark gazing up to the stars that Exmoor's dark skies in renowned for.
