Staying at Hayley’s Hut is an exceptional holiday experience. A beautifully appointed little hut with lots of homely features, including a cream tea on arrival. Thoughtful extras such as a stake to hold the dog’s lead were very welcome, dog bowls and towels too. The private lake was teeming with nature. We had daily visits from a pair of kingfishers and the squabbling moorhens were very amusing. Stargazing either from the hot tub or from bed through the glass panel was amazing. Lots to see and do in the area: we visited Ilfracombe, Saunton Sands, Croyde, Instow, Appledore and Clovelly as well as a trip further into South Devon. Or if you preferred, a restful and relaxing day just by the hut soaking up the peace and tranquility. Thank you to Hayley and Tom for a wonderful holiday - you have a very special place indeed. ...

Our stay at Hayleys Hut was absolutely wonderful. This really is a special retreat. Everything is just perfect with lots of nice touches. The location is so peaceful and ideal if you fancy seeing the local area, but we found it hard to leave the hut as we loved every minute of our time there. ...

Beautiful shepherds hut in a fantastic location! The lake is a real wow! Much bigger than we expected too! Loved watching all the wildlife, it was so peaceful and relaxing! The hot tub is a real bonus! A lovely place to relax, especially in an evening looking up at the stars! Would highly recommend! Our first experience of glamping and not sure anywhere else will live up to Hayley’s Hut! ...

Hayley's Hut is one of the most magical places I have ever stayed in. It is in such a peaceful and private location, and even on a break there in January we were able to spend most of our time outdoors. We were in and out of the hot tub all weekend, cooked both nights in the cookhouse, and paddled our way across the lake on the rowboat! The hut itself was very cosy once we got the log burner going, and plenty of logs were supplied. A lovely cream tea was waiting for us, and even a nice selection of fruit teas etc. The bed was comfortable and the shower was great. The place was immaculate and had plenty of books and games and even local maps, though we didn't explore the area as much as we thought we were enjoying ourselves too much at the hut ??...
