The Shepherdess Hut

1 unit · Glamping15 acres · Ilfracombe, Devon, South West England

Set in a hilltop near Ilfracombe in North Devon, Fullabrook Farm Retreat is home to The Shepherdess shepherd’s hut. Based on a family-run working farm, this romantic hut is ideal for a couples’ holiday amid spectacular woodland views – plus the chance to have the place to yourselves – apart from the grazing sheep in nearby fields of course. Built from scratch by the site owners, the hut is decked out with a kingsize bed, dining and living space, plus an en-suite bathroom with a powerful, hot shower. Thoughtful extras here include robes and toiletries, plus a TV for chilling. There’s a gas oven and hob in the modern kitchenette, alongside a fridge with freezer and a stylish Belfast sink. There’s no danger of you feeling the cold on chillier evenings, as the hut has its own central heating. For those sunny evenings, the private patio has a barbecue, tables and a firepit, so you can dine outside and cosy up around the fire as the night sets in – look out for some spectacular sunsets and starry displays on clear evenings. If you can manage to drag yourselves from this lovely little spot, the local village is West Down (five minutes’ drive), which has a community-run shop for stocking up on barbecue essentials, as well as a foodie pub if you fancy a change of scenery.

Backed by dunes and pine trees and only accessible via a half mile walk from the nearest car park, its detachment from the busy outside world is all an important part of the appeal and, for those who make the journey, it's a truly beautiful spot. The bay is managed by the National Trust and part of the Stackpole Estate and has won a number of public votes as the best beach in Britain and even the best beach in the World. In the coastal countryside around there are a number of excellent campsites, the best of which have made our prized Hipcamp shortlist.
