Escape the every-day at Crannaford Shepherd's Hut.
The wide open meadow in front of the hut is all yours, stretching out to the field boundary and the view beyond.
This idyllic retreat is beautifully hand-crafted and is gorgeous both inside and out.
The living-area is open plan and has all you could need for a comfortable stay.
The super-comfy king-size bed......
...complete with lovely linens, a true home-from-home.
A perfect space for resting your head after a day out and about exploring the joys of east Devon.
The kitchen is compact but well-equipped, featuring a two-ring hob, fridge, kettle and toaster.
There are lovely touches throughout.
The warming wood-burner means out-of-season breaks are a must (there's under-floor heating too).
Crannaford is beautifully styled inside.
Looking in through the double doors - perfect for throwing open on a sunny day.
The handy dining-table folds down with ease, and can be popped away when not needed.
The chairs also fold up and can be stored away to create more space.
Surprise! There is a TV hidden away in front of the bed - perfect for lazy mornings.
The en suite shower-room includes a wash-basin and WC.
And, of course, on tap hot water too.
A handy shelf for popping your bits and bobs on.
Let the outside in and take in the fresh air - bliss!
The raised deck overlooks the pretty patio-area and the huge meadow beyond.
Treat yourself to breakfast al fresco.
Or perhaps a glass of wine or two.
Before a dip in the bubbling hot tub.
This is such a wonderful setting.
What a super place for a getaway.
Fire up the barbecue and cook up a yummy supper.
The solar park, just behind the high border of trees, provides electricity to the nearby town of Cranbrook, which is being built along inspiring environmental lines.
A modern shepherd's hut with traditional features.
Offering a fresh take on what a real escape means.
The countryside stretches out in front of the meadow.
You even have your very own pitch and putt course here!
Clubs and plenty of balls are provided - such fun!
All in all, Crannaford Shepherd's Hut is in an ideal location of a mini-holiday where you can break away from life's hectic pace.
Nearby Woodbury Common, an area of unspoilt heathland, criss-crossed with miles of walks with the sea sparkling in the distance.
This is Sidmouth. A wonderful Regency seaside town.
This is the sheltered harbour at Lyme Regis on the east Devon/Dorset border.
Another view along the beach at Lyme Regis - this is a great place for a day out.
The far end of the beach at Budleigh Salterton, where the River Otter joins the sea. The river, banks and reed beds are wonderful places for nesting birds.
Another view of the beach at Budleigh Salterton - you can follow the South West Coast Path from here.
Take it easy and enjoy the beach at Budleigh Salterton!

Wonderful surroundings and very relaxing stay with the high spec hot tub with relaxing water jets. Hosts are great and it feels very private.

The hosts, location, the hot tub, Shepards hut and just everything was perfect for my partners birthday weekend! Everything exceed beyond expectations and cannot fault it in the slightest. Two night’s genuinely wasn’t long enough and we both wished we stayed longer. If you are ever wanting somewhere to just get away, it is worth the travel! ...

We spent a lovely peaceful Easter weekend at Crannaford shepherds hut. The hut and the surrounding area was beautiful . The hot tub was a perfect way to relax especially in the evening with all the lights. Robert and Tina were the perfect hosts who thought of everything even down to the little extras ( bottle of Prosecco in the fridge and some Easter treats) I would highly recommend coming here. ...

Lovely hut in a quiet, peaceful and beautiful location. The hosts were lovely and showed us around when we arrived and they’d even left some chocolates and a bottle of Prosecco for us which was appreciated. The hut was clean, and had everything we needed for our 5 night stay. The hot tub was so nice to use after a long day of exploring. If you’re looking for some time away in a secluded area, this is a great choice. Thank you! ...
