The hut was the perfect place for me to have a few days R&R with just my little dog for company. The hut was equipped with everything I needed and very comfortable.

We had such a lovely stay at Shepherd's Hut! From when we arrived in the evening and Sally came to check to make sure everything was okay and on our first morning too. Cosy and perfect size for the two of us and our dog. Really clear directions on how to get there and even had some scones with cream and jam in the hut for when we arrived.

Well equipped, took things that I didnt need to, like tea towels, washing up liquid, cloths etc. Fridge could have been a bit bigger, current one was not cold enough.

Had a great holiday at Ivy Cottage Shepherds Hut, and really felt like we got away from it all. It was a superb location and so nice to sit outside in the evenings and cook on the barbeque. It is very dog friendly in Devon and dog (Bella, French bulldog) had a lovely time too! Can't recommend highly enough.

We did enjoy our time here. The mattress was an issue... it felt thin with little support. Access/movement was difficult on/off the bed... probably our own limitations did not help. Accessing the bed was higher than expected. It was a hut after all, we're glad to have experienced it.
