Elder - Little Ash Luxury Shepherd's Hut

Luxury Glamping on a working farm in a picturesque village in South Devon.

Elder was designed and hand-built by us. It is nestled in a sunny field surrounded by old oak trees, with its own kitchen, ensuite bathroom and wood burner, this shepherd's hut is the perfect country retreat.

The farm is a stone's throw from the wild beauty of Dartmoor National Park and a short drive from the stunning South Devon Coast and its charming towns and villages.

The Site

Elder is one of three shepherd’s huts dotted around our 1-acre field, check out our site map in the photos. Each hut has its own private space, including an outdoor dining area, and a firepit/bbq.

Inside

Going through the glazed double doors, you’ll find the main living space with a comfortable seating area and dining table, a hand-crafted kitchen complete with Belfast sink, undercounter fridge, double induction hob and cooking essentials to make a tasty meal whilst you’re away.

There is a fixed double bed in an enclosed, cosy sleeping area at the end of the hut. Snuggle up in front of the wood burner during the colder months, supplied with plenty of firewood.

At the other end of the hut you’ll find your own ensuite bathroom with toilet and shower, heated towel radiator, towels and toiletries.

Outside

Stepping out of the glazed double doors, looking out across the valley you’ll find your own private outdoor space where you can sit and enjoy what is a beautiful, sunny field for most of the day. As the evening draws in you can cosy up around your firepit or cook al fresco as the firepit also doubles up as a barbecue.

It is an easy 150m walk along a flat gravel path from the car parking area to your hut.

You’ll be surrounded by nature during your stay. The farm is home to livestock, cows and sheep as well as three pygmy goats and two rheas which are recent additions to the farming family. Sitting outside in the evening you’ll often hear the owls and see the horseshoe bats flying around. During the day you’re likely to see lots of birds, including birds of prey and if you’re an early riser you might spot the deer wandering around the field.

Other things to note

You will find some complimentary breakfast items in your hut when you arrive (eggs, fresh bread, milk, juice, condiments, tea and coffee).

You’ll be staying on a working farm, so please be respectful of the animals and be aware there will be tractors and other machinery operating at times. We kindly request that you do not wander around different fields on the farm, there are lots of public footpaths for exploring the local area.
