We have just had the best weekend staying here. The views were absolutely stunning and the shepherds hut was gorgeous and had everything we needed. The kids loved every second. It's in a great location too with everything you need just a short drive away. The owners were so helpful and accommodating too. We will definitely be coming back and would recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing trip away....

We stayed here for 3 nights, haven driven up from London, and i could not recommend this highly enough. The property, the farm and surroundings were amazing. The Shepherds Hut was extremely cozy, and easily accommodated me, my wife and 2 teenage children. Amazing location with a hot tub you have to heat with fire wood, which is an amazingly, organic feeling having to do it this way. When we arrived, the key is in the door waiting and the owner arrives within 20 minutes to welcome you. It's a 2 minute drive into the main town, which has everything from Superstore, to restaurants and pubs, and there are several beaches with amazing coastal walks, just a 20 minute drive away. highly recommended and will definitely go back...

Beautiful shepherds hut! Really good location close to Sidmouth and the owners were very easy to contact.

A great little place, with a beautiful log-burner hot-tub, tucked away, surrounded by owl-song and perfect for connecting back to yourself and the animate world. Vicki and Dave were wonderful hosts: gracious, kind and very helpful. We'd love to return. ...

Hosts were amazing and helpful. Lots of storage was really surprised and the overall feel of the place was really lovely. Would definitely come again but maybe in summer when nice and dry. It's hard work heating the log burner for the hot tub but was a nice experience. But personal preference would favour the ease of an electric jacuzzi. Also struggled with no easy heating such as radiator and lots of kids in terms of trying to dry out clothes on very wet days. ...

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the feel of the property and found the owners so helpful. We are sorry to hear that you found log burner to be a little challenging, but hope you enjoyed the off-grid experience nonetheless. Hopefully we can welcome you back to Otter's Holt when the sun is shining! Lucy, Customer Support...
