Welcome to Shepherd's Rest our soulful hideaway in the Cornish countryside.
The location is nothing short of a dream.
Every detail has been carefully handcrafted.
We love the rustic barbecue hut. Cook up a storm and enjoy dining lakeside.
The kitchen is fully fitted and beautifully finished.
Situated perfectly within nature's paradise. Dogs even have their own mini shepherd's hut kennel, and are also welcomed inside the main hut.
On cooler days get cosy by the wood burner.
The spacious interior is just as stunning as the setting.
The Hypnos king-size bed offers a blissful night's sleep. With two windows looking out over the meadow, ponds and countryside beyond.
Wake up and enjoy those gorgeous views.
The internal ensuite shower room has everything you need to freshen up.
The shower is a great size!
Just look at this location. An absolute dream!
Shepherd's Rest looking gorgeous in the golden light.
Take breakfast outside and immerse your mind, body and soul into this peaceful paradise from dawn till dusk.
As the evening draws in you can light the chiminea or head down to the brilliant barbecue hut, just across the pond.
Romantic evenings await.
What's on the menu tonight?
It really is is a really hidden treasure.
Magical moments await.
Picturesque countryside views from every angle.
The view from the field behind the hut looks into Lerryn village.
You are welcome to bring four-legged friends along for the adventure.
They can even sleep in their own mini shepherd's hut kennel but are also welcomed inside the main hut.
The only neighbours you need to worry about are the friendly sheep!
And gorgeous ducks!
You might even spot the odd kingfisher. Picture taken by the lovely owners.
Take in those breathtakingly beautiful, sunset skies by the warmth of the fire.

Such a beautiful village to wander through.

This place is stunning. The hosts have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable, we thoroughly enjoyed our honeymoon at this little "bolthole", which is really private and so, so beautiful.

Wow! Words really can't describe just how beautiful this place is. Absolutely gorgeous. The shepherds hut was super cosy and attention to detail was second to none! Extremely practical and most importantly very dog friendly. Our dog had a fantastic time. He had his own field that was fully enclosed for peace of mind and his very own doggy hose (with hot water!) for muddy paws. This was a lovely touch! I think he enjoyed his stay more than us! The BBQ hut was amazing and the views surrounding it were stunning! Richard and Nicola made us feel very welcome. We honestly have never stayed anywhere as lovely as this. Thank you so much! We will definitely be seeing you again next year. Tamsin, Michelle and Anu the dog x...

This is an amazing place; so peaceful, relaxing and extremely comfortable. The barbecue hut was brilliant as it enabled us to have a barbecue and fire even when it was raining. We had a magical sunset from here one evening. Walking to the village across the field was pleasant and there was always a friendly welcome at the Ship and local shop (nice Japanese meal at pub and lovely pasties/goodies at shop). Lovely coves and coastal walks close by and would recommend Charlestown, a picturesque place with many good places to eat. There is lots to do in the area without having to travel too far. Nic and Richard are very friendly and accommodating and have done a brilliant job in making this place special. Would highly recommend and we would love to go back....
