A very special place. A wonderful place to relax and unwind. Very generous gifts left for our arrival - including the most delicious scones! The owners were forthcoming with advice for excursions and meals but gave us space too. The hot tub was amazing, especially under the most wonderful starlit sky. We would highly recommend and hope to return soon! ...

What a fantastic place to stay. Nikki and Spence created this peaceful and beautiful retreat and made us feel very welcome. The Shepherd‘s Hut itself is fabulous on its own. But in combination with the pretty garden, the chicken patch, the hot tub and all the surrounding landscape, it is absolutely stunning. We had a great time there and will definitely come back. ...

We had a very relaxing week at the Horse Shoe Shepherd's Lodge. A great welcome from the owners and loads of goodies to enjoy on arrival. The property was very clean and well equipped and the hot tub was well used. As EV drivers the Zappi charger was a great addition to the property and one of the reasons we booked. Trips to Exmoor, RHS Rosemoor , Appledore and the nearby Exeter Inn for meals. Thank you Nikki and Spence for a good week. ...

What a beautifully decorated, cosy hut this is! It had everything we needed and the welcome treats left for us by the owner were very much appreciated. The location is excellent - we visited the coastal villages, Westward Ho! beach and had a long walk on Exmoor to Dunkery Beacon. The hot tub after a busy day was bliss. Would highly recommend this property....

Location and owners are excellent. Thank you Spence and Nikki we had a lovely stay. Made full use of the hot tub and BBQ.
We booked this to de-stress from moving house a few weeks earlier and it did exactly that.
