Welcome to wholesome Shepherd's Delight.
This lakeside hideaway is nothing short of a dream.
Unwind in the wood-fired sauna, followed by a refreshing cold plunge in the lake.
The space allows your day to flow with ease.
What a place to spend time with the one you love most.
Outside, the setting becomes even more enchanting.
The interiors ooze rustic charm.
The view from where you rest your head is really quite special.
There's plenty of space for the two of you to relax and unwind.
This door leads you through to the ensuite shower room.
The perfect spot for freshening up.
With the tranquil lake as your backdrop.
Step inside this heavenly wood-fired sauna.
Rinse off under the rainfall shower, wrapped in nature.
We can't think of anywhere better to sink into the magic of nature.
As dusk falls, light the chiminea and stay cosy.
Mornings are better when breakfast is outside.
The view of the hut from the other side of the lake is postcard perfection.
Take to the water on the quaint rowing boat, or enjoy a spot of yoga on the decking.
Your four-legged friend is also welcome to join you on your glamping getaway.
The National Trust estate at Killerton is just a bike ride away down the road - lovely walks, gardens, cafe, restaurant and shop.
Say hello to your friendly neighbours! Please keep your four-legged friend(s) on a lead around animals and livestock.
The hideaway is powered by solar energy meaning your getaway is as green as can be.
A picture-perfect, lakeside escape.
Beautiful English countryside surrounds the shepherd's hut.
Head to the bustling city of Exeter for a spot of lunch by the quayside.
The cliffs between Beer and Branscombe - a great section of the South West Coast Path.
The far end of the beach at Budleigh Salterton (just over 30 minutes away), where the River Otter joins the sea. The river, banks and reed beds are wonderful places for nesting birds.
Why not visit Dartmoor, which has many fantastic walks and gorgeous pubs?

Beautiful surroundings, that would be hard to beat. Very cosy in the hut with the wood burner & cute fairy lights & waking up to the view through the doors was lovely. No WiFi & signal patchy, but that’s fine, just something some people may need to know. The dog absolutely loved it, so much freedom, she could run around safely & had a whole field, just next to the hut too, she loved watching us fish in the lake, we caught quite a few carp. An experience that we all enjoyed...

Classic Cottages were excellent helping us arrange a holiday at very short notice. Ill be using them for future holidays.
Shepherds Delight is a wonderfully peaceful place to stay, we loved our stay here.

The lake is a magnet for wildlife with excellent pleasure fishing
Miss Duxbury June 2018
The cabin was immaculate - the owners had provided everything you could wish for and more, the shower was brilliant and we always had plenty of electricity for our needs despite the cabin being off-grid. There was plenty of firewood for the chimnea and the little log burner kept the cabin toasty warm! The surroundings were wonderful and we were woken every morning to the sound of birdsong. wonderful peace and quiet - we cannot praise this holiday enough - very happy! :) Please could you also add my first comments on the page before to the review page - Thank you x...

Thank you so much for another lovely holiday. Shepard’s delight was a true delight, it’s lovely we could bring our dogs with us too they enjoyed every moment as much as we did. My husband really enjoyed fishing on the lake from the boat, he managed to catch some lovely fish. It was the perfect place to celebrate our first anniversary. Thanks again. ...
