Whether you’re planning on darting down to Dartmoor National Park for hikes and the like or exploring sandy beaches and surf hotspots on the Devon coast, you’re going to need somewhere cosy to stay that’s within reach of it all. That’s exactly what you get with the shepherd’s hut at Northcombe Farm, just half an hour’s drive from Dartmoor National Park, 35 minutes from Bude and 40 minutes from Widemouth beach.
That’s not all – the shepherd’s hut also has stabling facilities available for one horse, and with three bridleways nearby, there are plenty of options for outings. With two private fishing lakes, you’ll be free to spend the morning fishing for roach and tench if you wish. The river Wolf also runs through the site’s boundaries.
It’s likely you’re already aware of the excellent beaches along the south Devon coast, but fab views can also be caught from the ferry or boat trips that operate around the coast. Soak up all that spectacular scenery from the South West Coast Path too, along with splendid seaside towns along the clifftop route.
South Devon has three areas designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, as well as a World Heritage Site, a selection of national nature reserves, Sites of Special Scientific Interest, forests, woodlands and parks. They’re all mighty good places to appreciate nature at its finest. Beaworthy (10 minutes’ drive) first, perhaps, for granite tors, standing stones and ancient woodlands? Or Dartmoor’s ponies, stannary towns and peaceful villages?The Shepherd's Hut at Northcombe Farm is a beautifully appointed traditional shepherd's hut which the owners have lovingly built and furnished on their Devonshire farm. The hut provides the perfect glamping experience with the lake and countryside on your doorstep, but with all the modern conveniences of a walk in shower, central heating and kitchenette.
There is ample parking for two cars next to the shepherd's hut and guests will enjoy the seating area in front of the hut with views out across the green fields. The fact that it is sheltered under the barn roof means that even in wet weather, guests can enjoy a warm cup of tea or glass of wine outside and taking in the fresh air.
The hut is accessed up some small steps and the open plan living inside is well-designed with the bed area to the left and the kitchenette and dining bar to the right. The bathroom is at the end of the hut with its walk in shower and flushing WC.
Guests are able to fish in the lake and can also enjoy equestrian activities on the farm (please contact us for details). Further afield, guests can enjoy the famous Dartmoor National Park - ideal for hiking and cycling fans.
