Perfect little shepherds hut with excellent fittings and comfy furnishings set in a beautiful rural location. Hot tub and firepit are perfect additions to spend evenings enjoying the surroundings. Pretty close to some lovely coastal towns like Sidmouth. Would highly recommend....

Really lovely location, very easy to find and wish we stayed longer. Perfect for if you want to take your dog with you as the hut is completely enclosed and can roam freely. Had everything we needed and was such a relaxing few days. Cannot recommend this enough! 10/10...

Such a fabulous last minute get away. Cosy, clean and very dog friendly. Huge comfy bed and very spacious, I feel the photos don’t do it justice. A great little find for a peaceful few days a way to switch of.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at this lovely hut, it was exactly what we were looking for - cosy, peaceful, and set in beautiful surroundings. The hut was spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, sharing great recommendations for local walks, places to eat, and nearby attractions. The location is ideal, with a charming town close by and easy access to other destinations. We particularly recommend a visit to Sidmouth and the Donkey Sanctuary, both well worth the trip! We booked last minute and really appreciated the effort both the host and Classic Cottages made to accommodate us. We’d absolutely love to come back and stay again!...
