Welcome to our peaceful, lakeside haven.
Just look at this location, it is a complete dream!
We love the indoor, outdoor living style.
Simply the perfect spot to enjoy some much-needed downtime.
The cosy double bed offers a peaceful night's sleep.
And what a view to wake up to!
The little wood burner will keep you snug whatever the weather.
And the kitchen is well-equipped for your stay in nature.
Start your day by refreshing in the ensuite shower room.
Dining al fresco never looked so good.
Rustle up a delicious supper on the outdoor stove.
And enjoy a sundowner by the warmth of the chiminea.
This view is for your eyes only, complete seclusion, perfect for a romantic getaway.
Take to the water in the rowing boat... just like a scene out of the Notebook!
So many places to sit and watch the world go by.
Simply idyllic.
Nestled in nature with the most gorgeous surroundings.
Your four-legged friend is also welcome to join you on your glamping getaway.
Magical moments await.
Just the sweetest retreat in nature's paradise!
Around 30 minutes away, Woodbury Common, an area of unspoilt heathland, offers miles of walks with the sea sparkling in the distance.
This is Sidmouth, a wonderful Regency seaside town around 40 minutes away.
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.
Take it easy and enjoy the beach at Budleigh Salterton!
Another view of the beach at Budleigh Salterton - you can follow the South West Coast Path from here.
Why not venture a little further (around an hour's drive) to the sheltered harbour at Lyme Regis on the east Devon/Dorset border.
Another view along the beach at Lyme Regis - this is a great place for a day out.
The National Trust estate at Killerton is just a bike ride away down the road - lovely walks, gardens, cafe, restaurant and shop.

Perhaps the most beautiful view ever.
Ms Smith July 2022
Absolutely stunning and such a fun place to stay. Beautiful and comfortable shepherds hut, remarkably spacious, with a view to die for. Boat provided and fishing nooks with plentiful roach for beginners like us. Completely secluded and in countryside surroundings with lots of wildlife but just a few miles from Exeter. Highly recommend ...

Shepherds Delight completely exceeded our expectations. It was so relaxing and in a beautiful location. A stunning Shepherds Hut and the setting with the lake was just perfect for a totally relaxing stay-just what we needed. Despite being off grid all the facilities are there for your comfort. It's hard to believe that it is only a couple of miles from Exeter-it feels so remote. Waking up to birdsong every morning was bliss. Paul the owner was so lovely, laid back and friendly. You felt you could call him at any time if you needed anything (we didn't!). We had everything we needed. We had a row around the lake on the rowing boat which was good fun and fished in the lake. Perfect! We will definitely return to this gorgeous corner of pure relaxation. Thank you Paul ?? ...

We had a wonderful stay pottering in a beautiful place with no one around and only the sound of nature breaking the quiet. The hut is settled in a little valley between two hills with its own fishing lake. It was awesome to have that whole lake to ourselves for fishing and boating. We felt really isolated which is what we wanted but if we needed provisions there were shops, pub etc just 5 mins drive away. We have reserved our holiday back here again next year. Thank you to Paul for providing such a beautiful soul restoring sanctuary!! ...

Cannot recommend highly enough, this was our 4th visit to the shepherds Hut, we try to go every year. Paul is a great host, makes you very welcome but leaves you around I get on with your stay. The setting is stunning, worth taking a paddle board and fishing rod for that pond. Dog friendly with lots of space for them to run around and secure. If you’re looking to get away from everything and just enjoy the quiet and quiet he stunning views this is the place to do it...
