Shepherds Delight completely exceeded our expectations. It was so relaxing and in a beautiful location. A stunning Shepherds Hut and the setting with the lake was just perfect for a totally relaxing stay-just what we needed. Despite being off grid all the facilities are there for your comfort. It's hard to believe that it is only a couple of miles from Exeter-it feels so remote. Waking up to birdsong every morning was bliss. Paul the owner was so lovely, laid back and friendly. You felt you could call him at any time if you needed anything (we didn't!). We had everything we needed. We had a row around the lake on the rowing boat which was good fun and fished in the lake. Perfect! We will definitely return to this gorgeous corner of pure relaxation. Thank you Paul ?? ...

We had a wonderful stay pottering in a beautiful place with no one around and only the sound of nature breaking the quiet. The hut is settled in a little valley between two hills with its own fishing lake. It was awesome to have that whole lake to ourselves for fishing and boating. We felt really isolated which is what we wanted but if we needed provisions there were shops, pub etc just 5 mins drive away. We have reserved our holiday back here again next year. Thank you to Paul for providing such a beautiful soul restoring sanctuary!! ...

Cannot recommend highly enough, this was our 4th visit to the shepherds Hut, we try to go every year. Paul is a great host, makes you very welcome but leaves you around I get on with your stay. The setting is stunning, worth taking a paddle board and fishing rod for that pond. Dog friendly with lots of space for them to run around and secure. If you’re looking to get away from everything and just enjoy the quiet and quiet he stunning views this is the place to do it...

Had a fantastic stay. Did far less walking than i had intended and stayed on site more as it was so relaxing. Borrowed my brothers fishing tackle to try to rekindle my passion for fishing which it certainly did! Had 11 carp ranging from 3.5 to 5lb as well as many more smaller fish. I'll definately be looking to return again! Probably the most relaxing holiday i've ever had!...

Absolutely loved our time away at shepherds delight. The weather was amazing so we got to spend most of the time across the pond chilling in the sun. During our 8 day stay we got so relaxed I read 3 books while my partner enjoyed the fishing. He caught up to 5 fish a day biggest been a 8lb Carp. My fur baby absolutely loved the outdoor life and the freedom he had to explore the surroundings. If you enjoy outdoor cooking then the gas Hob and Hot plate are perfect for that. We loved it so much we had only spent 3 days there before we booked to come back in August. Owners lovely and happy to help with anything. See you in August ...
