About this apartment rental
Unplug, rest and reset at this meticulously designed shepherd's hut nestled on a farm estate in the rolling Devonshire countryside. Don't be fooled by its charming yet humble exterior. Inside, there's nothing rustic about this luxurious retreat. Surprisingly spacious and with all the creature comforts, expect pristine interiors united by soothing greys. There's a well-equipped bespoke kitchen, complete with a crackling wood-burner stove to keep things toasty. Crisp-white quality linens on the king-sized bed for a blissful night's sleep. And a welcome hamper brimming with freshly baked treats, Hotel Chocolat hot chocolate, and marshmallows for cosy stargazing nights beside the firepit. Open the double doors each morning and soak up the uninterrupted stunning views from your bedside with a cuppa. Kickstart the day with a shower in the sleek, contemporary en-suite. Or take things outside for a lazy soak in the log-fired hot tub as the resident sheep and ponies trot on by. At night, the home takes on a magical feel as the festoon-lights flicker on. Fire up the barbeque, then sit back to watch shooting stars light up the sky – and on a clear night, even the Milky Way. Or skip cooking entirely and head to Tavistock's traditional inn (thirteen-minute drive) for real ales and good upper-crust pub food. There's no rush home – those stars will be right there.
Home truths:
*Your host is called Fiona
*One bag of logs for the fire is provided (if you stay for three nights or more it is a larger bag) – additional bags of kiln dried logs are available at £5 per bag
*There are three shepherds huts located on the farm, but they are well spaced apart and each one is totally screened by hedges and fencing to allow you to relax in total privacy
*There's central heating in this home along with a wood-burning fire
*Electricity points are located in the hut for you to use your appliances
*Bathroom essentials are provided here so you can pack light
*There's no Wifi or TV here, the perfect excuse to switch off we think
*A welcome hamper with homemade goodies, hot chocolate, and milk will help to settle you in
