Welcome to Shepherd's Rest our soulful hideaway in the Cornish countryside.
The location is nothing short of a dream.
Every detail has been carefully handcrafted.
We love the rustic barbecue hut. Cook up a storm and enjoy dining lakeside.
The kitchen is fully fitted and beautifully finished.
Situated perfectly within nature's paradise. Dogs even have their own mini shepherd's hut kennel, and are also welcomed inside the main hut.
On cooler days get cosy by the wood burner.
The spacious interior is just as stunning as the setting.
The Hypnos king-size bed offers a blissful night's sleep. With two windows looking out over the meadow, ponds and countryside beyond.
Wake up and enjoy those gorgeous views.
The internal ensuite shower room has everything you need to freshen up.
The shower is a great size!

Magical moments await.
Just look at this location. An absolute dream!
Take breakfast outside and immerse your mind, body and soul into this peaceful paradise from dawn till dusk.
As the evening draws in you can light the chiminea or head down to the brilliant barbecue hut, just across the pond.
Romantic evenings await.
What's on the menu tonight?
It really is is a really hidden treasure.
Picturesque countryside views from every angle.
The view from the field behind the hut looks into Lerryn village.
You are welcome to bring four-legged friends along for the adventure.
They can even sleep in their own mini shepherd's hut kennel but are also welcomed inside the main hut.
The only neighbours you need to worry about are the friendly sheep!
And gorgeous ducks!
You might even spot the odd kingfisher. Picture taken by the lovely owners.
Take in those breathtakingly beautiful, sunset skies by the warmth of the fire.
A bird's eye view looking down at Shepherd's Rest with the village of Lerryn in the background.

There is a great pub too all within a five to ten minute stroll.
Such a beautiful village to wander through.
The stepping stones appear at low tide.

A lovely, peaceful and well maintained shepherds hut in a beautiful setting. Very tranquil and private. Hosts are nearby if you need them but not intrusive. A perfect holiday for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. ...

This is a gem of a place! The setting of the shepherd's hut is magical in its tranquility and beauty. It was also very comfortable to stay in with a lot of thought having gone into the facilities- especially the BBQ hut which was fantastic. Everything you could possibly need was provided for and Nic and Richard made us feel exceptionally welcome. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. ...

What a slice of heaven Shepherd Rest is! If you want a clean, comfortable but rustic escape in the gorgeous Cornish countryside - and especially if you love barbequing - this retreat is for you! There were so many little welcome touches, like milk and cream tea. We had all the equipment and things we needed to provide maximum comfort and relaxation. We loved how undisturbed the location was, we didn't see anyone and it was so tranquil! Our dog loved sniffing and exploring around the beautiful two ponds, with the freedom to roam within the security of the field. We loved having no signal and WiFi, allowed us to really unplug from modern life and slow down! We don't really return to locations, but this feels like the exception!...

Idyllic. Great meal cooked on the unique barbecue. Peaceful isolation - just us and the birds - but an easy walk to Lerryn.
Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed in this cottage, with the few exceptions stated in our Review Guidelines.
