This tranquil location is perfect for those who seek a retreat of the wild kind, sitting on the Devon/Cornwall border, ensuring adventure is never far. Don your walking boots and head off on a stretch of the South West Coast Path to explore the rugged Hartland Heritage Coast venturing further south to visit the blissful beaches in Bude for a romantic wander to remember.
Oozing character, this country-style shepherd's hut has been thoughtfully designed to offer all the modern conveniences you could want in a compact space with no detail spared. Warmed by the crackle of the wood burner, the open-plan living space features a bench for seating, a kitchen area, a TV and ample storage beneath the curved ceiling. One end of this bolthole is filled by a cosy king-size bed which features a tiny window with shutters that have a small heart carved into the centre. The other end is filled by a separate shower room with a WC. Take the steps down and your living space is extended into the great outdoors with a picnic bench for al fresco dining and a hot tub where you can sit and gaze up at the stars on clear nights.
Come rain or shine, the remote National Trust beach of Duckpool (4 miles) is well worth a visit for moody skies seen from the rugged cliffs, or landscapes carpeted with wildflowers in the sunny light of day. Continue south on the coast and stop off at Bude (10 miles) for an array of dining and shopping opportunities, or immerse yourself in life beside the sea with a sea swim, surf or paddleboard. Delve into local history with a trip to Tintagel (28 miles) where you can unearth the stories of King Arthur walking around the ruins of the iconic 12th-century castle whilst marvelling at the dramatic sea views in this site of English heritage.
