Oakford Shepherds Hut

Escape to the charm of the countryside and stay at this bespoke shepherd hut, a perfect haven for a dog-owning couple or solo traveller seeking a stylish taste of the simple life, complete with enchanting countryside views and a wood-fired hot tub. Nestled in the sought-after village of North Molton, this delightful retreat is set within picturesque countryside and offers a friendly pub nearby.

Put on your wellies for a short walk across the field to the hut. Step inside to discover a beautifully designed living and sleeping area featuring a king-size bed with undisturbed countryside views and a Smart TV for leisurely film-watching. The compact and charmingly decorated kitchen area is well-equipped, and complemented by a breakfast bar with stools. An en-suite shower room completes this intimate accommodation. Outside, discover further delights in the pretty field surrounding the hut, offering panoramic countryside views and a lovely, enclosed garden for Rover to explore. Enjoy the outdoors with garden furniture, a BBQ, and a fire pit, creating the perfect setting for stargazing while toasting marshmallows. The undercover wood-fired hot tub beckons, allowing guests to relish the bubbles under the star-filled skies. A third-of-a-mile farm track leads to a parking area from the main road, which may be bumpy in some areas.

The village of North Molton serves as a gateway to Exmoor National Park, where wonderful walks through dramatic landscapes await curious hounds. Just 6.5 miles away lies the market town of South Molton, home to two weekly markets within the historic pannier market. The town also has a handy supermarket, an array of independent shops, and a multitude of dog-friendly cafes and pubs to choose from. Embark on adventures along the spectacular coastline of North Devon, revelling in the beauty of sandy beaches such as Saunton Sands (21 miles), where canine companions are welcome to join you year-round.
