The property

Whiddon Down 2.9 miles.

Nestled amongst the scenic Devon countryside in Hittisleigh near Whiddon Down is this lovely, single-storey shepherds hut, Two Moors Shepherds Hut.

Beautifully positioned within a meadow setting, rich with wild flowers and birdsong. Keen walkers will be delighted to discover that the property is located right on the Two Moors Way - Devon's coast to coast route.

Benefitting from a studio-style layout with woodburning stove, dog-friendly accommodation and a wood-fired hot tub, Two Moors Shepherds Hut welcomes two guests, ideal for a couple seeking a romantic escape in this pretty corner of Devon.

After parking up and unloading your belongings (yes, this shepherds hut even has a wardrobe), rustle up a tasty dish in the neat kitchenette; venture outside and relax in your very own private outdoor space, soaking in the rural views and toasting to a wonderful break over a cold glass of fizz, as your pooch plays safely.

Spend your evening alfresco, sharing stories or playing games and take a dip in the hot tub, the perfect way to soothe your tired legs after a long day of sightseeing!

When the stars appear overhead, escape back inside to enjoy a blissful shower and transform the dining space into a plush double bed, ready to curl up and doze off into a relaxing slumber.

If you can tear yourself away, visit the nearby St Andrew’s Church, a historic building known for its beautiful architecture and serene surroundings, or simply lace up your walking boots and head out on one of several footpaths and trails to discover your location on foot.

While a short car journey will bring you to the pretty town of Chagford: an appealing moorland town offering a variety of eateries and independent shops, an open-air swimming pool (seasonal opening times) and plentiful walks to work off a pub lunch!

Travelling further on, the moorland village of Belstone can be reached within 15 minutes featuring a friendly pub and tea room and easy access to the tors, trails and far-reaching views of spectacular Dartmoor.
