Red Kite View Shepherds Hut

Couples seeking a peaceful retreat in nature need look no further than this bespoke glamping lodge on the edge of Exmoor National Park. Located just outside the village of North Molton and only 6.5 miles from the larger town of South Molton, this rural retreat is perfectly positioned for exploring Devon’s coast and countryside. South Molton itself is a charming heritage town with a rich textile history, a twice-weekly market and an excellent choice of cafés – ideal for a post-walk pick-me-up or pre-adventure breakfast. Closer to home, the village inn offers the perfect pit stop after a day’s exploration on the moors. Discover the ever-changing landscapes of Exmoor National Park, wandering along meandering footpaths through open moorland, wooded valleys and breathtaking clifftop viewpoints. Follow routes through the beautiful Barle Valley (12 miles), or head towards the twin coastal villages of Lynton and Lynmouth (17 miles), linked by their historic funicular railway.

Crafted to an exceptional standard, this unique shepherd’s hut effortlessly combines comfort with style. On arrival, you’ll be greeted with a thoughtful welcome hamper overflowing with locally sourced breakfast goods (for stays of three nights or more) – plus soft robes ready for stepping out to the outdoor bath. A compact yet fully equipped kitchenette sits opposite a cosy wood burner, ideal for preparing simple meals or warming up after a day outdoors. At the far end, a soft king-size bed invites restful nights, complete with a Smart TV above for cosy evening entertainment. A separate shower room next to the kitchen offers a refreshing place to wash away the day.

Step outside into your private garden and soak up the peaceful countryside surroundings. Enclosed and overlooking open fields, this outdoor space is made for unwinding, complete with seating, a charcoal BBQ and a fire pit for starlit evenings. For an extra touch of indulgence, sink into the outdoor Jacuzzi-style bath and let the last of your cares drift away. Private parking for two cars is provided a short walk from the property.
