Stayed here recently and I must say, was excellent. Our first time staying in a shepherds hut and we were not disappointed. Very friendly reception and information book was very useful. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect little shepherds hut with excellent fittings and comfy furnishings set in a beautiful rural location. Hot tub and firepit are perfect additions to spend evenings enjoying the surroundings. Pretty close to some lovely coastal towns like Sidmouth. Would highly recommend....

Really lovely location, very easy to find and wish we stayed longer. Perfect for if you want to take your dog with you as the hut is completely enclosed and can roam freely. Had everything we needed and was such a relaxing few days. Cannot recommend this enough! 10/10...

Such a fabulous last minute get away. Cosy, clean and very dog friendly. Huge comfy bed and very spacious, I feel the photos don’t do it justice. A great little find for a peaceful few days a way to switch of.

This was the perfect base to explore Devon. Otters Holt offers complete privacy and is surrounded by wildlife and beautiful scenery, yet has easy access to amenities and numerous lovely towns and villages. The shepherds hut was beautifully decorated and had a surprising amount of storage. We made good use of the pizza oven, fire pit and hot tub!...
