Rushford Shepherd's Hut in England

Host Rachel Johnston says:

Located in the heart of the National Park, our hut is tucked away in a little private area of our field surrounded by wildflowers, fruit trees, raspberry canes, a couple of raised vegetable beds and a herb garden which guests cab help themselves to, and views of the surrounding hills. Beside the hut live our flock of hens who can be heard happily clucking away or seen taking a dust bath when they're not foraging for food. The River Teign runs along the bottom of the field and there's a lovely spot in the corner where you can swim / fish / paddle in the dinghy, or for the more brave-hearted - swing from the rope swing. 
Chagford is a charming, vibrant town with stunning views of the moor and is just a short walk away via the road or the river. It has everything you need, including some great cafes and restaurants and a good range of events throughout the year including a food festival and a film festival. The outdoor swimming pool is a few hundred metres from the site and there are many beautiful walks right on the doorstep, including a lovely walk along the river to Fingle Bridge.
Tim is a self-employed builder and designed and built the hut himself (with a little help from his partner, Rachel); this includes everything from the kitchen, to the bed, the loo to the basin, the internal doors and chunky oak steps leading into the hut. Rachel is currently on maternity leave but works for a company that provides outdoor education for children with additional needs and runs forest schools. They live on site but hope to take time out to go travelling with their daughter.
