A shepherd’s hut for two with views of North Devon’s countryside and sea

Tucked away on a smallholding up a bumpy country lane in North Devon is where you’ll find Quincecote. It’s worth seeking out. This shepherd’s hut, sleeping two is a lovely self-contained bolthole with far-reaching views of countryside and sea. It’s within walking distance of a village shop, a choice of pubs and, if you can manage two scenic miles, the coast. Lots of those who stay here can – and walk a lot further than that as this is a great stop-off for people tackling the South West Coast Path. For those folk, Quincecote’s hosts provide pick ups and drop offs from the nearby Hartland Quay. Long-distance walkers will be tempted by that offer together with the thought of a solid roof over a comfy made-up bed, a kitchenette, hot shower and loo. But, on top of all the basics being covered, this is a simply lovely place to stay: sustainable and super stylish too.

Positioned not far from your host’s house, next to the solar panels that power it, Quincecote is a traditional looking cabin clad in curvy tin. There’s a raised deck that helps you make the most of the view and a fire pit to help you make the most of your evenings under Devon’s dark skies. Inside, the cabin is light and airy with timber-clad walls, painted in ice-cream colours. But it’s also cosy thanks to good insulation and a log burning stove. A clever design makes the most of the space so your double bed can fold up during the day to reveal a dining table with bench seating.

The kitchen here is well-equipped enough for you to cook but, unless you want to, don’t. Hartland village, a mile walk through woods and fields away, has four pubs for you to choose from for your dinner. There’s also a very good restaurant a five-minute drive away. For days out, apart from all the lovely walks and nearby beaches, there’s Hartland Abbey and gardens, just over a mile away, and Clovelly village is a 15-minute drive. Beyond that, the North Devon coast stretches in one direction, North Cornwall in the other.

Quincecote shepherds hut is just one hut, set in its own garden, looking out over rolling countryside to the sea beyond. It has a large shower and bathroom within it & is quiet &non commercialised, remote with ducks, chickens, Molly the pony, and sometimes sheep as neighbours. The hut has a bathroom inside, gas stove, fridge, comfy double bed woodburner and fire pit with wood supplied. This area is great for hiking the south west coast path (about 40 minutes walk), before coming back to the hut and taking in the huge dark skies over the Hartland peninsula. Hartland village is a 15 minute walk through fields and woods. Hartland Abbey is not far at all and Hartland point and Clovelly village are also near by. Lifts can be provided if requested. its quite hilly around here.

Quincecote shepherds hut

We had a fabulous stay in "Mossy Bottom" at Quincecote! We had great communication from Anna beforehand, especially with directions and pothole warnings (very useful) and were greeted warmly with a smile. I'd mentioned it was my birthday and she'd left a card and chocolates too - above and beyond! She'd also had the woodburner going all day (it was snowy that morning) so it was cosy on arrival. After that, we were left to our own devices and given a mobile number should we need anything and so it felt nicely private and laid back. It was a pretty 20min walk through woods (hilly for those who aren't into hills) to Hartland village for a drink at one of the 3 pubs and also the perfect spot for doing a big loop down to the spectacular coast and back. The whole stay was very pleasant and easy. Thanks Anna and family

From the host

Quincecote shepherds hut is a single hut located in its own garden with countryside and sea views out over the stunning Hartland Peninsula within an aonb. It is a smallholding of a couple of acres, we have chickens, pigs, and a pony, Molly. The village of Hartland is a 15 minute walk through woods and fields and this area is great for hiking the south west coast path (about 40 minutes walk), before coming back to the hut and taking in the huge dark skies over the Hartland peninsula. Hartland village is a 15 minute walk through fields and woods. Hartland Abbey is not far at all and Hartland point and Clovelly village are also near by. Lifts can be provided if requested. its quite hilly around here

Nearby attractions

Quincecote sits on a smallholding about a mile from the village of Hartland, and two from the coast at Hartland Quay on the North Devon coast. There, you can join the South West Coast Path. It’s a drive of just a few minutes or a walk of 40. And if you’re walking this long-distance national trail, hosts Anna and Jon, will pick you up for your stay and drop you back afterwards too. The shepherd’s hut is just a mile from Hartland Abbey, an ancient monastery turned family home, which sits in lovely gardens. There’s also a museum and a tea room to visit on site. The traffic-free , cobbled streets of picturesque Clovelly village (which is privately-owned and has an entrance fee) are just over six miles from the shepherd’s hut too. Other nearby beaches and villages on the North Devon and Cornish coast include Bude and Widemouth Bay to the south and, to the north, Appledore and Westward Ho! All are about 20 miles away.

Food and drink

Hartland village offers the closest places to Quincecote – whether you want to eat out or pick up supplies for your stay. There’s a butchers counter, fresh bread and local produce alongside general groceries in Hartland Post Office and there’s the Pop In General Store too. There are four pubs in the village too, with The Anchor Inn and The Hart Inn, the recommended options for food. There’s also good, seasonal local food in the smart but rustic Pattard Restaurant (less than two miles down the road). At Hartland Quay (also two miles) Wrecker’s Retreat Bar is another good option.
