Cherry Blossom Shepherd's Hut

If you were looking for cottages like Cherry Blossom Shepherd's Hut, how about trying these:

Cherry Blossom is a dream, found in a peaceful meadow bordered by a babbling stream less than five miles from the historic city of Exeter and really easy to reach. This gorgeous shepherd's hut is beautifully finished with oak fittings, a bed to die for and top-quality furnishings throughout - it is a triumph of design in a small space and very comfortable.

The little wood-burner will throw out the heat, making it wonderfully toasty whatever the time of year, and there is an oil-filled radiator for the cooler months too. The well-equipped kitchen includes a sink, two-ring hob, fridge, toaster and kettle, and there is even a flat screen TV with DVD player - perfect for cosy nights in - and handy WiFi provided. The bed, which can be cleverly pushed up into the wall (linen and all!) during the daytime to reveal the dining-area, is heaven - sink into a deep mattress with fresh cotton linen and wake up to the sounds of the dawn chorus. The stylish shower-room includes hot and cold running water and a proper flushing loo - luxury glamping at its best!

Many an hour can be spent outside here too, enjoying quality time together in the stunning surroundings. Why not cook up yummy meal on the barbecue and dine al fresco at the lovely picnic table, followed by a soak in the bubbling hot tub or a little paddle in the stream.

Also nestled in this pretty meadow is Cherry Blossom's sister Apple Blossom, although both have their own separate entrances and are very private from each other.
