Welcome to wholesome Shepherd's Delight.
This lakeside hideaway is nothing short of a dream.
The interiors ooze rustic charm.
The space allows your day to flow with ease.
Outside, the setting becomes even more enchanting.
The view from where you rest your head is really quite special.
There's plenty of space for the two of you to relax and unwind.
The quaint kitchen has everything you need for your stay in nature.
This door leads you through to the ensuite shower room.
The perfect spot for freshening up.
When the sun shines, take a seat on the decking and watch the word go by.
We can't think of anywhere better to sink into the magic of nature.
As dusk falls, light the chiminea and stay cosy.
Alfresco living is a complete dream here.
Mornings are better when breakfast is outside.
The view of the hut from the other side of the lake is postcard perfection.
Take to the water on the quaint rowing boat, or enjoy a spot of yoga on the decking.
What a place to spend a few days with the one you love most.
Your four-legged friend is also welcome to join you on your glamping getaway.
The hideaway is powered by solar energy meaning your getaway is as green as can be.
A picture-perfect, lakeside escape.
Beautiful English countryside surrounds the shepherd's hut.
Head to the bustling city of Exeter for a spot of lunch by the quayside.
The cliffs between Beer and Branscombe - a great section of the South West Coast Path.
The National Trust estate at Killerton is just a bike ride away down the road - lovely walks, gardens, cafe, restaurant and shop.
The far end of the beach at Budleigh Salterton (just over 30 minutes away), where the River Otter joins the sea. The river, banks and reed beds are wonderful places for nesting birds.
Why not visit Dartmoor, which has many fantastic walks and gorgeous pubs?

Beautiful and tranquil getaway. Would highly recommend to those looking for a peaceful time away from it all.

Although the location was potentially idyllic the road noise spoilt the advertised " peaceful haven"

Thanks for your review of Shepherd's Delight. The hut is tucked away from the small lane which is occasionally used as an alternative for people going into Exeter, though it's not a main road we're sorry that you were disturbed. Bryony, Customer Support ...

Shepherd's Delight is a beautiful place to stay. The location is so close to all amenities, yet you are so secluded. Absolute peace and quiet and nothing nicer than to sit outside watching the lake. If you are lucky you will get to see the local deer walking by in the neighbouring field, which is amazing. The hut is incredibly comfortable and the addition of the wood burner makes it so cosy at night. Safe for dogs - with ours loving running around collecting sticks for us at every opportunity and investigating the area! This was a dream mini break and we will definitely return. Perfect location if you want to travel off and visit places such as Dartmoor or the like. ...

The hut was delightful, very clean throughout with lots of homey touches and lots of candles. All of the basics were provided and there was plenty of room for storage of supplies we brought with. We had rain one day but the awning over the front porch made it possible for us to still sit outdoors and enjoy the scenery. Couldn't have been more pleased with the place. The photos on the website make the place look amazing but don't tell all of the story. You must be there to truly appreciate the perfection of the setting...truly amazing, private, and tranquil. It is only about a 15 minute drive to take-away Greek, Chinese, and Indian,and a very well stocked store for supplies. Perfect!...
