Benton View Shepherd's Hut

Ahoy there, friends! Seeking a slice of escape from the city life? Experience off-the-beaten-track beauty, solitude and an overload of nature at Benton View Shepherd Huts.

This 14-acre farm in Devon is just outside the Exmoor National Park and Dunkery and Horner Woods National Nature Reserve. Here, you’ll discover a cosy shepherd’s hut resting in its own grassy orchard field – topped off with your very own picket fence.

Birds and animals dare to roam here, whether it’s chickens wandering around or two miniature ponies who love to be admired. Plus, there’s a barbecue area and picnic bench for some al fresco dining.

You’ll find the hut fully insulated and equipped with a kitchenette, log burner, double bed and linens, as well as a separate kitchen with fridge, freezer and microwave.

Completing the setup is a bathroom block, boasting a toilet and hot shower too. And, if you fancy, you can join the Tarka Trail cycling route at the bottom of the farm, or take a short drive to Exmoor Zoo, Wistlandpound Reservoir and the coast. Enjoy your adventure!
