For us the Shepherds Lodge was the find of the year. I could not fault it. The hosts were brilliant who with their touches of luxury (fresh cakes, eggs and even wine) made this a fabulous and very relaxing stay.

0ur 2nd time at shepherds hut and rarely go back anywhere twice. Fantastic hosts who have taken a real pride in what they have created and the experience they offer. They left the best, home made and locally sourced welcome pack. Situated in a pretty little village with a beautiful country pub, the Exeter inn serving great food with a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The hut is not overlooked whilst you enjoy relaxing on decking or in hot tub so plenty of privacy which is important to us. Great base for exploring local areas. We spent a couple of days having fun body surfing on beach at woolacombe, picking up a wonderful wood fired pizza from hut by the beach at end of day. Lots of pretty walks from chittlehamholt or around the mole resort. Exeter lovely city well worth a visit, we did this on our way to Dartmouth for our 2nd week but we were sad to say goodbye to shepherds hut and will definitely return. ...

Our stay at Horseshoe Lodge was just perfect. Nikki and Spence are the perfect hosts, full of information about the area, and on hand for any advice or help if needed. The arrival treats were a lovely touch, thank you. The lodge itself is immaculate, tastefully decorated and the bed luxurious. The outside is relaxing, if you like peace and quiet, with birdsong as your background noise then this place is just for you. The evenings spent in the hot tub star watching were the icing on the cake !!! We shall definitely be returning. ...

A wonderful stay. Great location, very friendly locals and the owners gave us a warm welcome. We certainly felt like we had won the lottery in finding this place to stay..and will definitely be staying here again.
Ms Walsh April 2025
The shepherds hut was spacious and bright, there were flowers and it was so well decorated and furnished. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and even though we were staying in a hut we could cook quite happily. And very importantly the bed was very comfy. The hosts were so friendly and kind but also respected our privacy. The treats when we arrived were lovely and everything looked so welcoming and fresh. We will definitely be coming back….we loved every minute...
