Charming quirky couple and dog friendly countryside bolt hole, with private hot tub and communal gam

The Shepherd's Hut at Accott Manor offers couples (and their dog) a rather unique romantic getaway set in a stunning and tranquil rural location, not far from Barnstaple in North Devon, but with it's well known coast, Exmoor National Park and many popular local attractions all within easy reach.

One of four self catering properties at Accott Manor, The Shepherd's Shed has been purposefully set apart from the other cottages making it the ideal retreat for couples looking for a romantic relaxing getaway together. Inside, The Shepherd's Shed offers high quality self catering accommodation in a rather unique and quirky way. An open plan space oozes plenty of character and charm throughout. There is a compact kitchen, with a small cooker and hob, fridge and sink, whilst a wood-burner stove provides the heating but a great place to boil the kettle. A breakfast bar and high stools provides a great place to grab a quick meal or breakfast. Then, at the back of the shed, there is a double bed and a wall-mounted TV. Outside, there is a separate purpose built fitted shower room.

Behind the shed, guests will discover a separate covered sink and a gas BBQ, a great space for preparing meals outside. There is also an outdoor seating area covered by awning. And finally, the real added luxury for couples looking for a relaxing getaway is the wood fired hot tub. Guests have exclusive use, and can enjoy the spectacular views, sunsets or starlit skies.

Onsite, the guests are welcome to use the communal games room (please note: Covid rules will apply).

One dog is welcome at The Shepherd's Hut. Please note: there is an additional charge for the dog that must be paid prior to arrival.

Glorious stay despite the weather
Just what we'd hoped and more - a beautiful Shepherds Hut, romantic and warm, stylishly furnished with great attention to detail. It made our first trip without our kids feel very special! The location is sublime with gorgeous views and we will long remember sitting in the hot tub, at sunset, in the rain - pure bliss.

We had a lovely stay in this peaceful secluded spot for a weekend. It rained most of the weekend so we didn’t get to use the facilities as much as we wanted sadly. Thanks for a lovely stay 👍

Perfect Getaway
We absolutely loved it here. The Shepherds Shed itself was beautiful, very clean and had everything you could need for your stay. The Outdoor area was spot on too, the large gazebo with zip up sides was great, really kept the wind at bay and kept you warmer, the log burner was great, and the gas BBQ also excellent. The wood fired hot tub was so relaxing to sit in on an evening with a glass of wine or few, and the sound of the silence almost deafening apart from the odd toot from a distant owl. The view also was to die for, nothing better than to sit with a coffee in the warm morning sun just staring at natural beauty. Shawn and Kath were also great hosts and very friendly and helpful. We would happily stay here again and happily recommend it to anyone.
