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!
Just look at this location. An absolute dream!
Shepherd's Rest looking gorgeous in the golden light.
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.
Magical moments await.
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.

Absolutely beautiful Shepherds hut set in the most peaceful and tranquil surroundings. The owners have really thought of everything to make the hut very well-equipped, comfortable and luxurious. Richard and Nicola couldn’t have been more welcoming. We can’t recommend it highly enough and certainly hope to come back! ...

Shepherds Rest was wonderful. The view from the hut towards the lakes was stunning, we saw so much wild-life. A peaceful haven!

Richard and Nic have created the most idyllic getaway location. The hut is beautiful with the most comfiest of beds that you will struggle to get out of. What makes it easier is stepping out into beautiful surroundings, listening to the sheep and the ducks whilst looking over flowering ponds and wonderful Cornish hills. The hut is equipped with everything you need and you can tell a lot of personal thought has gone into ensuring you can relax. Rich and Nic are also wonderful hosts, so friendly and recommend great places to walk, eat and visit. A truly wonderful place that I highly recommend! ...

On arrival the shepherds hut was just as described on line, although somewhat better than the pictures. It has been well designed and built to a high spec, well equipped throughout. We had everything we needed for our 10 day stay which included a small freezer. Nothing was too much trouble for Richard and Nikki. They were friendly and helpful, giving great advice on areas to walk locally from the hut. The grounds had a secured boundary which enabled us to let the dog roam freely. The bed was most comfortable. The peace and tranquility it provided were just what was needed and we didn't want to leave. We are loath to tell others about this piece of heaven, for fear of it becoming too popular and are already planning on a return visit. ...
