    We had a wonderful stay at a very cosy and comfortable hut. It was incredibly clean and well, maintained. the location was perfect for a peaceful retreat, allowing us to forget about the world for a while. We loved the quiet and tranquil surroundings. the owners and their children created a family, friendly atmosphere, making us feel right at home. the hut was well, equipped and the bedding was nice and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the outdoor space, with its fenced, off area for privacy, outdoor furniture, and fire pit.

    We highly recommend this place for a relaxing getaway. Cons: Nothing that I didn't like!

    The Herdwick Shepherd Hut provided a modern and comfortable stay. the hut was well, equipped and the bedding was nice. We loved the zoning with the fencing and wooden signposts, giving it a unique touch. the picnic bench and rattan dining furniture were a great addition. the setting of being on a working farm with the cows and stream added to the charm. the grassy areas were well, maintained, and the campsite had a relaxed and family, friendly atmosphere. The location was convenient, being close to the River Dart country park. Cons: Couldn't fault. 👍🏼.

    As young travelers, we loved the modern and clever layout of the huts, equipped with comfortable beds and nice bedding. The fenced zones and wooden signposts added a unique touch, and the stone campfire areas were a great addition. The picnic bench and rattan dining furniture provided a perfect spot to enjoy meals. The setting on a working farm with cows and a stream created a charming atmosphere. The grassed areas were well-maintained, and the family feel with the owner's children added a welcoming touch. The location was also convenient, being a short distance from the River Dart country park.

    We felt privileged and had no complaints at all.

    The location of this accommodation is truly stunning, set amidst the beauty of Dartmoor. the stream running through adds to the tranquility, making it a perfect getaway. the huts themselves are modern and well-equipped, with comfortable beds and immaculate bedding. the kitchenette, BBQ, and firepit provide convenience and a chance to enjoy outdoor cooking. the well-maintained grassed areas and picnic/dining furniture add to the overall enjoyment of the stay.

    It would have been helpful to have some fire lighters provided, as the slightly damp wood made it difficult to get the fire started.

    My partner and I stayed at the charming Herdwick Shepherd Hut for a weekend getaway on Dartmoor National Park. Nestled in a stunning location, this compact yet modern accommodation had everything we needed. The well-equipped hut had a comfortable bed, clean bedding, and a great shower. The outdoor space, complete with fenced zones, picnic bench, and rattan dining furniture, added to the overall appeal. We loved the family feel of the farm, with the owners' well-behaved children running around. The peaceful ambiance, natural noises, and short distance to the River Dart country park made our stay even more enjoyable.

    Would recommend this hotel.

    Very quiet location at the end of a small lane. Easy to find. Host sorted out which hut we were staying in and gave directions to local pub with excellent pie. Modern, well-equipped hut with comfortable beds and nice outdoor space. Great for outdoors activities in beautiful location.

    The hut was very cosy and comfortable, perfect for a quiet and peaceful getaway. The location was beautiful, tucked away at the end of a small lane. It was easy to find and offered a peaceful escape from the world. The hosts were friendly and helpful, providing directions to a local pub that served an excellent pie. a very comfortable and relaxing stay.

    One drawback was the limited lighting around the area, with some of them not working. This made it a bit difficult to find the specific hut we were staying in.

    Spacious and Well-equipped Kitchenette: This chalet definitely had the perfect set-up for those who love cooking. The kitchenware provided was top-notch, ready to tackle any culinary adventure. I felt like a master chef in a five-star restaurant, except with a beautiful view of the garden instead of a bustling kitchen.

    Fireplace Instructions: A minor issue was that the instructions for the fireplace seemed a bit unclear. I couldn't find the secondary or tertiary controls mentioned, but as we were only staying for one night, it wasn't a major inconvenience.

    The value for money at the Herdwick Shepherd Hut was excellent, with a comfortable room and modern amenities. The location on Dartmoor National Park was fine, perfect for outdoor activities. The staff were friendly and accommodating.

    The morning meal could have been improved with more breakfast options.

    The surrounding area was incredibly peaceful, with a private fenced-off outdoor space and allocated parking. The hut itself was modern, cleverly laid out, and equipped with everything we needed. The campsite was spotlessly clean and had a lovely outdoor dining area with a fire pit. The farm setting with cows and a stream added to the charm, and the owners' well-behaved children added a family-friendly atmosphere. A short journey away from a great day out at The River Dart country park.

    My recent stay at Herdwick Shepherd Hut in Exeter was absolutely delightful. The hut was clean and cozy, providing a comfortable retreat after long days of exploring Dartmoor National Park. The location was perfect for nature enthusiasts like myself, offering stunning views and peaceful surroundings. I particularly enjoyed the outdoor space provided with the hut, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the countryside. Additionally, the hut was equipped with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay.

    There were a couple of minor inconveniences during my visit. The top bunk was positioned too close to the ceiling, making it a bit challenging to access.

    The kitchenware was totally my style, perfect for whipping up a gourmet camping feast while sipping Champagne. The dining area was so posh, it made me feel like a Queen enjoying her meal. And the barbecue? Well, let's just say I had a fabulous time charring my sausages to perfection.

    Ah, who needs a reception or information anyway? Just wander around aimlessly, get scolded by a random person's mom, and play a fun game of "Guess the Footpath".
