Horseshoe Shepherd's Hut is a gem. Such a lovely nest. So cosy and clearly appointed with much love, care and attention to detail. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at "Horseshoe" and appreciated the "goodies" awaiting us on arrival, especially the bubbles and delicious home-made cake. The hot tub was super and provided the ideal way to finish off a day of long coastal walks. This is one of the very best properties my wife and I have rented over many years. We recommend it without qualification. Sincere thanks to the owners N & S for their thoughtfulness in providing us with a memorable stay....

The description suggested a remote and idyllic setting. It was a hut in someone's back garden. The description referred to chickens and 200 acres of land ..... there were 6 chickens plonked in the garden, so not exactly the natural rural experience you alluded to. The 200 acres ...... well for anyone who has never ventured outside - yes. But if you have bothered to go outside, it's generally called 'the countryside' ....... This had nothing special and the description should be changed because it is misleading if not a blatant falsehood designed to sucker you in. As you can tell, we felt totally cheated by the description and totally ripped avoid. There are better and cheaper places to stay in Devon....

A truly magical weekend. The hut was spacious but comforting; the location was perfect, and the owners were lovely and genuinely cared about your stay. My partner and I went for a long weekend from the 8th of December to the 11th in which we were fortunate to be surprised with snow on our second day; due to the hills that surround the village, getting home looked to be a bit more tricky than expected but Nikki the owner was so kind and even offered for us to stay an extra night free of charge, which shows there generosity. I highly recommend it!...
