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?

A wonderful hidey hole in a secluded, peaceful place. Even when weather was typically '"British" and the terrain got challenging (muddy!), we could still relax, fish, row the lake and climb the hill to see the spectacular views - completely switched off! ...

Fantastic place so peaceful out of the way, with everything we needed for a complete rest. Excellent fishing & exploring for the dog. Just perfect!

Beautiful and tranquil getaway. Would highly recommend to those looking for a peaceful time away from it all.
Mrs Colegate August 2017
Although the location was potentially idyllic the road noise spoilt the advertised " peaceful haven"
