Crannaford Shepherd's Hut

I highly recommend this wonderful little shepherds hut. It’s beautiful and the setting is idyllic. We had the most wonderful time and will definitely come back!

What a superb Shepherds Hut this is, beautifully designed and perfectly presented; we enjoyed such a wonderful holiday here. The setting is so peaceful and private with lots of wildlife to enjoy, Crannaford Shepherds Hut is a truely rare find. There is so much nearby to enjoy in this beautiful area, with a visit to the unspoilt Budleigh Salterton and Sidmouth a must. However, we found little incentive to leave this wonderful haven, which is a testiment to the relaxing setting and quality presentation of this little hut. The Hot Tub, Firepit, BBQ and Sunbeds all add to the quality holiday experience with the added bonus of well thought out extras such as logs, BBQ coals and arm chairs perfect for sitting around the firepit. Thank you Tina and Robert for a truely magical stay

Could not recommend staying here more, we had a romantic four night stay here and didn't want to leave. The hosts, hut, location and everything else we're amazing. Would highly recommend!!!

Was absolutely amazing few days. We definitely overpacked as everything was provided from coal, wood and firelighters right down to cleaning supplies and tissues beside the bed. Best holiday experience for two.

We chose this as a romantic weekend getaway without the children. It was perfect! A beautiful private space with everything you could wish for in and out of the Shepherd's hut. Huge attention to detail and everything was beautifully presented and in impeccable condition. An utterly delightful find which we definitely be returning to!

We couldn’t have asked for more. The hut itself was brilliantly equipped considering its size and felt rather spacious once inside. The ability to be able to open the doors to extend your living space right into the garden area was a lovely touch. We felt very welcomed by the hosts and were told if we need anything all we had do was ask. There were some great recommendations in the welcome pack for things to do which in return lead to some wonderful days out.
If you’re looking for a different kind of get away, this is perfect. We had originally booked for our honeymoon, having had to reschedule a couple of times I can honestly say it was worth the wait!

The hut is in a lovely quiet location, which gives you complete privacy and feels very relaxed. The hut itself is absolutely gorgeous and the hottub is lush. The owners greeted us on arrival, showed us around and were really friendly. Although not close to any local shops that we discovered, it's only a 15 minute drive into town. We didn't need to use it, but the little log burner inside the hut would be very cosy on a winter's night and was all set up ready to go. We have already recommended the hut to family!

We had a wonderful stay. Robert and Tina are excellent hosts. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area and some wonderful restaurants in the local area.

We would definitely go back for another stay. You have everything you need and so my privacy in a beautiful setting.

We loved the hut and very helpful owners who supplied a lot of extra resources to start the holiday off with which we were not expecting and had indeed brought with us in some cases, so this was a very nice surprise. We used all the facilities including the tennis, pitch(not much putting) holes the BBQ every day, firepit and of course the excellent hot tub. The explanations by the owners of all the facilities and fixtures was informative and we had no issues with using these.

We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to all plus we would love to come back again.

We’ve found a little gem!! Fantastic property, exceptionally clean and very private. We loved the outdoor space, especially of an evening - barbecuing, hot tub and drinks on the patio area.

For such a compact space, the property contained everything you need, plus a few extras. The owners were there to greet us and provided recommendations for eateries and day trips.

A perfect week away

Lovely stay! Everything we could have hoped for and more. Lovely hosts, very welcoming and happy to help. Would definitely recommend.

Couldn’t have asked for anything more!

This property exceeded our expectations, it was amazing. The owners were very friendly but not intrusive. They supplied tea coffee sugar milk orange juice and Prosecco. The hot tub was perfect and the the area was very relaxing.

The Shepherds Hut was out of this world, exceeded on expectations on all counts. The setting was beautiful, clean and may I say more spacious than expected bearing in mind it was a shepherds hut. The owners were amazing, friendly and often helped us out as and when required. They even came to the rescue when we need an HDMI cable (left at home) for our outdoor projector. We could not fault our stay, weather or location. We will definitely be back. Many thanks to Robert & Tina for an outstanding holiday home.

The most beautiful shephards hut, every detail was so well though out. Such a cosy and comfortable hut, highly recommended. The owners are a joy to talk to aswell, very welcoming and take pride in what they offer.

A beautiful area! Lots of lovely restaurants around the area. Stunning beaches (Elberry Cove was a favourite) There's an amazing model village nearby and the zoo isn't far either. The hot tub is great especially at night time. Loved cooking in the shepherd's hut and not having an oven wasn't a problem. There's nice takeaways around the area too. The shepherd's hut is so cute in the way it's furnished it's a perfect spot! Would highly recommend for holidays. We went for our honeymoon and it felt so relaxed!

Me and my boyfriend had a lovely break away, was truly needed. This was the best Shepard’s hut we have stayed in, everything provided even things you didn’t think you’d end up needing! It was very clean, and loved the hut, very airy and clean feeling in the day. Very cosy at night. Hot tub and bbq were very good. Excellent hosts. Would defiantly recommend to anyone and would come back.

Great location for exploring that part of Devon.

This property is a gem ??

We had a wonderful time, it was the perfect escape for the weekend. The hosts exceeded our expectations! We would definitely visit again.

We booked our stay at Crannaford Shepherds Hut as a child free break (to celebrate surviving the past 12 months of lockdowns and home schooling)!

Our stay was wonderful and we were given a very warm welcome and great little tour by the owner, Robert. The Sheperds Hut is so well equipped and cosy, especially with the mini log burner on in the evenings. We managed to dodge the showers when touring the area and made our way back to spend sometime relaxing in the hot tub, it was a fantastic experience watching the wonderful wildlife until the stars came out and we were surrounded by the pretty led lights.

If your looking for a relaxing break with a difference then Crannaford Sheperds Hut is the place for you.

The property was perfect and exceeded our expectations. The hosts were lovely and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hot tub, was a fantastic addition and we really enjoyed our experience at the cottage. I would highly recommend.

The couple who own it were lovely really helpful and welcoming. Left us to do what we pleased but we’re around if we needed to ask something.

A warm welcome on arrival, spotlessly clean and lots of attention to detail. Perfect! Loved the very generous welcome pack (fudge, biscuits, cereal, milk, prosecco, orange juice, water). Hot tub was perfect too and large beach towels provided. Happy to recommend!

A fantastically relaxing few days away. Great location with easy access to tourist spots and visits to Dartmoor, the hosts were really friendly and very accommodating, keeping the essential wood for the wood burner and fire pit fully stocked. Highly recommended break

We absolutely loved everything about the Shepherds Hut. We are booking to go back as soon as we can and we’re very sad to leave after a two night break.

Amazing Shepherd's Hut, hot tub is a lovely treat! Everything is catered for, would recommend to anyone.

We booked this for our first wedding anniversary. We had such a beautiful stay. It was very peaceful and quiet. The hosts were friendly and very welcoming. All our needs were catered for, it was spotlessly clean and we could not have chosen a more perfect place to stay. Thank you. Chris & Carina

WOW! This fabulous property, along with it's charming hosts is absolutely wonderful in every way. The Shepherd's Hut is set in a stunning location which is both private and peaceful and it is beautifully made and spotlessly clean. The hosts have thought of everything to make your stay as perfect as possible. We had a wonderful 4 night stay here and have already recommended to friends and we look forward to returning ourselves. We enjoyed every second of our stay and even bought some binoculars while we were there to enable us to identify the many birds that we saw. Thank you for everything including the Prosecco and treats!

An excellent all round stay with beautiful views/location/hot tub and very friendly owners!

Super, fantastic, terrific place to stay

Shepherds Hut was such a beautiful relaxing place to have as our first family holiday. Loved every minute

We lived Crannaford shepherds hut the location was perfect and the standard of the hut was excellent. We have a superb weeks holiday. The owners were really helpful

Wonderful shepherds hut we were very pleasantly surprised, we couldn’t of asked for anything more.

a beautiful and tranquil setting. We were not in the least bothered by noise which we had been told might be possible from the nearby solar panels. It was wonderful to wake up to birdsong each morning and to see so many varieties of wildlife literally from my bed.

Our hosts were welcoming, an excellent introduction to all the interior workings of the shepherds hut and a lovely welcome package of Prosecco, strawberries, bread, milk, butter cream and biscuits.

We were left in peace but knew our hosts were nearby to deal with any problems - of which there were none! Very happy with this break and would definitely recommend.

The Shepherds hut is a beautiful retreat, superbly equipped and certainly more luxurious than we expected from a 'hut'! The hosts are friendly and welcoming without being interfering or over-eager. they are more than happy to explain any part of the hut that might be unusual to some - the hobbit log burner, the induction hob, the camping toilet, the hot-tub! There are a few local places to visit which are definitely worthwhile, so I'd certainly stay again without hesitation.

We had the most wonderful time at Crannaford, the accommodation was everything we were looking for and more, the hosts were incredibly generous and welcoming providing numerous added extras that were a lovely touch, and being available if anything was needed. All we needed to do was turn up and relax. We've stayed in many similar places and there are always a few disappointments but this place exceeded our expectations. We'd highly recommend it!
