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?

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 ...

Shepherds Delight is a beautiful piece of Paradise hidden away 2 miles from Exeter. The simplicity, stillness and the lovely small lake are wonderful additions to one of the best holidays we have had in a long time. Bed was comfy and the outside grill great for cooking. Our dog loved the place, very dog friendly. Thank you Paul for making this lovely place available to rent....

Perhaps the most beautiful view ever.

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 ?? ...
