  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!!

  We probably stay 2 to 3 times a year at either Southern halt or stonerush lakes and we try a different lodge everytime.

  We got hit with a storm on this occasion and loved every minute. One drawback was the parking which is some distance away especially packing for 4 days but you get the benefit of it being completely isolated. I did worry I would find a tree had fell on my car with the winds but luckily avoided that, plenty of large branches fell along the path which I cleared. The lodge itself was perfect, completely different style layout to what we have had previously but it worked well and was our favourite one so far. The hottub was lovely and the balcony surrounding the lodge was the best so far. Didn't get to use much of the outside due to the weather but we had already planned for it to be cosy and away from the world. Again the lodge contained everything we needed in order to cook everything we took. The restaurant on the Saturday was quite nice but very limited being out of season. All in all this has been our favourite break and lodge so far and I would definitely book this one again in the future. Only downside is we like the fish in the lakes, they usually come to greet you and say hello but they must have been busy doing fish stuff. Multiple squirrels instead on the decking which we fed and entertained us. Perfect getaway, thank you.

  An absolutely luxurious and fully equipped practically brand-new Shepherd's Hut (lucky shepherd!

  ) The underfloor heating and wood burning stove, combined with full insulation, was more than adequate to heat the hut, in cool but not freezing conditions. The golf buggy to transport luggage from the car was a fun novelty. Super comfortable bed, and lovely welcome basket with apple juice, eggs and honey all from Peter and Lisa at Little Silver House, and other goodies too (a bottle of wine, cheese scones, coffee, shortbread) Amazon echo a really nice touch..instant music on request. Excellent shower in the tiny but well designed bathroom, and the hot tub, of which we made full use morning and evening, was wonderful, especially in the dark under the stars. Lots of info about the surrounding area; a very pleasant walk up to the pub in High Bickington, with magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. The excellent looking village shop closes at 1pm on Saturday, by the way. All in all, a wonderful cosy weekend. Thank you Peter and Lisa

  We had a wonderful three night stay at The Shepherd’s Hut and we are hugely grateful to Karen and Nick for making everything so amazing.

  We had a very warm welcome on arrival. Everything was explained very clearly, from how to use the log burner to how to warm the hot tub. Standards were very high all round. The flowers that had been left were beautiful, the handmade card was a lovely touch, and the Prosecco was a lovely gift for our anniversary. This break was everything we needed, and the location was stunningly peaceful. We loved the local walks which were steeped in history, and the distance to nearby Gunnislake and Tavistock was ideal. Everything was just perfect, and everything had been thought of, from extra towels for the hot tub to the Bluetooth stereo, we couldn’t have wanted more. I think we shall remember sitting on the decking just listening to the birdsong forever, it was just so beautiful. We even saw a few squirrels, and heard a couple of owls one night. We really did have the perfect relaxing stay. Thank you so much Karen and Nick!

  We stayed at Rock View Shepherd's Hut as a treat for my husband's birthday.

  We arrived late in the evening and it was dark and wet, however the owner was extremely welcoming and even had the hot tub ready for us! The hut was absolutely perfect, clean, tidy and there were lots of clever storage solutions. Everything had been thought of and the little personal touches made it feel very special. The location was fantastic. Not only did it feel secluded and peaceful, but we were able to go on beautiful walks right from the front door. Walking books/maps were provided, which were really useful. We were also only a short drive to other places of interest and amenities. It was an absolute joy waking up to the birds singing and only being able to see trees and then sitting in the hot tub under the stars. We didn't miss having a TV at all and came away feeling that we'd had some real quality time. I can't recommend enough and we will certainly be looking to stay again.
