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!

We had a fantastic stay at this property. Beautiful accommodation and surroundings. The bed was the most comfortable we've ever slept in and the shower was excellent, plenty of lovely hot water. Both Nic and Rich were very welcoming. Brilliant place for a dog as the field is fully enclosed once the gate is shut and there are a number of walks locally. The pasty's at the local shop are highly recommended!...

The surroundings were stunning and the rest had everything you needed. The bbq hut was amazing and we can't wait to come back again.

Our stay at Shepherd’s Rest opened up a whole new experience of Cornwall; the location is so unique and we felt a million miles away from the rest of the world (but close enough to civilisation if we needed anything!) The site is nestled into a hillside and made us feel cocooned by nature, with all the luxuries of a hot shower and great cooking/sleeping facilities - full of personal touches too. We felt as though we were the first people to ever stay there because it was so well-maintained. Highly recommend Shepherd’s Rest!...

This is the perfect 'hideaway' retreat for two. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Sheppard's Rest proved to be a most delightful holiday destination, with everything needed tastefully planned within the Sheppard's hut. The addition of an an onsite smaller hut to house any 'overspill' items that we bought along was also very useful. The location is peaceful, with lovely vista's and nature abounding all around. It is, put simply, an enchanting little gem. Thanks to owners Richard and Nicola for helping us to have a memorable stay. ...

We loved absolutely everything about the Shepherd's Rest. The location was perfect, we loved how remote it felt but the short cut over the fields meant you could walk to the village in just 10 minutes. The views were stunning and our dog loved running around the meadow, and we were happy knowing it was safe and secure for him. The hut was exceptionally clean and comfortable and the welcome hamper was a lovely touch. Our hosts could not have been more welcoming and helpful. This staycation was perfect for us, I think it will be difficult to beat! We will definitely be booking again!...
