  Rock view shepherds hut is one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed!

  We did not want to leave! As soon as you walk down the path on your first day, you are greeted by trees, the hot tub, pond, fire pit and birds singing. What’s not to like! Nick and Karen communicated well with us leading up to our stay, and Nick showed us around the hut when we arrived. He checked the hot tub for us half way through the holiday (which we enjoyed 6/7 nights we stayed) and even suggested local hot spots including the nearest beaches. We were amazed with the creative storage space in the hut (lots of room under the dining room seating for coats, shoes etc) with plenty of kitchenware such as pots, pans and even Tupperware which came in handy for our sandwiches when out walking. Little extras in the drawers included a torch, first aid kit and washing up bits etc. this all makes a difference! Good shower with plenty of power and hot water. Towels provided for shower and hot tub. Large and super soft. It is cosy inside the hut, only needing to use the log fire once. There is a heater in the cupboard if you get cold, plus a nifty little hoover which came in handy. The outside area is simply magic!!! Sitting in the hot tub after a day of exploring was bliss. We both felt relaxed after using it. Probably our favourite bit about the accommodation. We did not realise how close it is to Tamar trails, which makes a lovely walk. Here is where I spotted a deer. Lots of squirrels to watch, which made great entertainment whilst sat in the hot tub. Honestly, if you want to get away from the world and feel relaxed this is the place to go. Your be amazed at how spacious the shepherds hut is. We were surprised to get 4G in the area, which came in handy for wanting to check out local areas. But if you don’t get signal, Nick and Karen have organised a fab folder full of local places to visit. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We would now like to buy and live in a shepherds hut… We will be back asap!!

  After a couple of very busy, stressfull years and not having any breaks for a few years, i just needed to switch off from the world for a much needed re-charge/re-fresh.

  Rock view hut was the perfect brain tonic i needed, very secluded and private set in a beautiful woodland, as a lone traveller i was a little hesitant being there alone, but after the first night in the hut i knew this was just perfect for me. There is much to do nearby (a short drive) to cater for all tastes. I did venture out on one of the days and I can recommend the "Avon Dam" walk at "Dartmoor national park" very impressive. My day normally consisted of having a lay in till 10am ish, cooking a breakfast (sometimes on firepit grill) lazing on the hammock (so comfy),short walks in the immediate vicinity, I drove to local shops a couple of times 3-4 miles away for essentials, but mainly just stayed at the hut and switched off, not worrying about makeup or outfits, this really was a perfect break and i will return for sure,(maybe in autum) Karen and Nick are very friendly and helpful and only a short distance away if needed, quickly answering any queries i had whilst there, after arrival Nick gave me a quick tutorial on how to use/heat the hot tub, which is very easy to use and i used it at least once per day, normally used it late at night,just laying back and looking at the stars, (pure bliss) with a G & T in hand, i did have 2 days of unsettled weather but used that time to go to shops. Overall the break was a PERFECT 10 outve 10 and exceeded my expectations. If you want peace and quiet this is the location you need but there is alot to do nearby if wanted, perfect for couples or if u are alone like myself, safe ,secure and beautiful. Thanks Karen,Nick & Sykes

  Our stay at Orchard Retreat was simply perfect, The owners were incredibly accommodating from the moment we arrived, we were given a lengthy and detailed tour accompanied with some brilliant recommendations, we felt so at ease right away.

  The cabin itself had everything you could need for a cosy getaway, the interior is so well done and everything was of a very high quality. The hot tub was the Piece De Resistance, it was such an easy setup and the fact it maintained a constant temperature meant we could get in whenever we liked, the speakers made it even more wonderful once you were sat inside, we used the hot tub 2 or 3 times a day when we were there. The views out over the fields and the surrounding trees made the perfect backdrop to sit and gaze out into. Every morning we were able to sit and watch the Large birds flying around and one morning we even saw the farmer herding the sheep. The fire pit was so good to have on the chilly mornings and evenings, the firelighters provided worked a treat and our firewood was replenished when we asked. The hosts answered our calls and questions whenever we had anything we needed to know and were incredibly friendly during our entire stay. Their 4 legged friends were also a delight. In terms of places to go and things to do, you certainly won't run out, the local farm shop is juts a 10 minute drive and the produce in there was to die for! We went for a lovely long walk on our last day and visited the 13th century church on the recommendations of our host. It was a brilliant and picturesque walk with so many good photo opportunities. We really couldn't have asked for a better stay and will most certainly be visiting again!

  We chatted with Samantha the lovely host on arrival and departure so this won’t come as a surprise.

  We absolutely loved this place. The perfect get away. Sam has thought of everything from underfloor heating, full sized oven and fridge, smart tv, Bluetooth your music to the hot tub. Bath robes for getting in & out of the hot tub. So cost with amazing views along with a fenced in garden, the orchard garden, and huge field all for our sole use giving us privacy as well peace of mind for the dogs to run around safely without fear of running off and getting lost. We mentioned how nice it would be to have sun lounge or reclining chairs in the immediate garden to enjoy the views in the sunny afternoons / evenings. We have dogs and a crate so we needed to dismantle the table and chairs & stow them under the bed which was fine but we thought perhaps a bistro set could be placed in the summer house as an option. Oh one thing I forgot to mention to Sam directly was a mini microwave would have been handy however it wasn’t a major thing as it’s really also quite nice getting back to basics. We will be returning, we stayed 4 nights and could have stayed longer. Just perfect.

  Absolutely loved our stay here.

  The hut was comfortable and cosy, and very clean. Really well equipped with everything we needed plus a lovely welcome basket including lots of treats for our dog. I was a little worried about space having never stayed in a hut like this before, but it was surprisingly roomy and they have installed some clever storage like an ottoman bed. Location is great, a short drive to a few pubs and lots of other things to do, and onsite you have access to a large private closed off field (great for the dog), and a games room (which we didn’t end up using but looked fab!). And an amazing view to wake up to over the fields, we enjoyed laying in bed with a coffee watching the sheepdogs herd the sheep in the far field! The owners are also super friendly and couldn’t have been more accommodating, with recommendations and when we needed help with a couple of things. It’s clear they really take pride in providing a lovely place to stay. Overall we were very sad to leave and would love to come back one day!
