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?

For anyone looking for total privacy and a dog friendly escape from it all this is the perfect place. Our latest visit (number 4!) was our favourite yet. Surrounded by fields, a lake and stunning views. It’s a hidden gem and so worth a visit

Our stay at Shepards Delight was amazing. Paul the host was great and very easy to chat to. Nothing was too much. Overall I would definitely recommend a stay here. You’re out of the way and don’t see a single soul if that’s what you want. If not, you’re so close to Exeter central and loads of amazing walks and woods nearby. ...

Paul greeted us on arrival and showed us everything we needed. He was available if needed but left us alone to enjoy our peaceful break. I loved the hut and surrounding land. The lake was just gorgeous and the field was secure for our dog to run around and explore - she loved it. The hut had everything we needed. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking and we really loved using the outdoor hot plate and hob for our meals. I would recommend this stay to anyone who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. Thanks Paul :)...

Beautiful venue, you will not be disappointed by the view, the central location or the facilities in and out of the hut!

This shepherds hut by a fish filled lake had spectacular views. Lovely reception from the host Paul. The hut itself was perfect-mod con bathroom extended on a traditional hut-so cosy at night and the views were amazing. Bring your wellies just in case (it’s the countryside after all). The lambs hopping in the fields and the sunrise over Devon and Dorset not to be missed. Also only 40 mins to beautiful beach in Exmouth along with local hikes ...
