Bowhay Shepherd's Hut

What a wonderful weekend!
Exceeding expectations, so beautifully decorated and designed, with lovely touches, and in a perfect quiet and idyllic location! Star gazing from the hottub was amazing, and a cuppa with those views were wow!
15 minute walk to the bus stop for the Totnes bus was great so we didn’t need the car. Thankyou John & Diane - we will be back! Jamie and Lucy

Second time staying at Bowhay and it is perfect, just the most peaceful location with all the comforts of home. The log burner was perfect on the chilly start and end of the day. Hot tub was just what was needed after a nice long walk.

Close to Dartmouth, walked to Sandridge Barton for wine tasting, cheese and coffee and Stoke Gabriel, The Shack for a delicious cream tea.

Can not wait to go back again.

We had such a lovely weekend at Bowhay Shepherds Hut. The hosts were so thoughtful to leave some milk and eggs in the fridge which we really appreciated. The hut was so cozy and we had all the amenities we would need to make a quick meal or to cozy up and the hot tub was so enjoyable. We had so much fun playing scrabble and visiting the cute town nearby. We also got to say Hi to the alpacas greeting us by the entrance which was so cute. Recommend visiting the oldest yew tree at the churchyard , the river shack has some good views and delicious breakfast and the riverford field kitchen for amazing fresh produce in a really well thought out menu. Loved everything. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

This is a lovely place to stay. The shepherd’s hut is beautiful and we really enjoyed the hot tub, the fire pit and seeing the alpacas.

Had a lovely stay at Bowhay shepherds hut. It was spotless, comfy, cosy and we loved the hot tub.

Such a lovely place for a weekend away. The shepherds hut is designed perfectly and the views are breathtaking. This is the definition of a 'hidden gem'

A really beautiful place to stay,heaven on earth.

We had a lovely stay at Bowhay. Wonderful views and so peaceful and relaxing. The shepherds hut is very well equipped with lots of thoughtful touches. We loved sitting in the hot tub in the evening looking out over the valley. Lots to do and see in the local area too, thoroughly recommend!

Perfect scenery with unforgettable views, even from the hot tub. Would highly recommend this to anyone.

My daughter and I have just spent the most peaceful, relaxing weekend at Bowhay Shepherd’s Hut, a truly gorgeous setting, the hut is exceptional and very comfy bed, everything has a purpose. Nice bathroom, hot shower. Outside space is great with different areas to hang out, the hot tub was great, comfy loungers and eating area. We visited Totnes and Stoke Gabriel both very lovely and would recommend The Shack in Stoke Gabriel and The Curator in Totnes for eating out. It wasn’t as cheap as some other huts but we chose if for the hot tub, location and privacy.

We adored this shepherd's hut - a real home from home. Probably the cleanest place we have ever stayed - and there have been many. We loved the peacefulness of the location, the views from the hot tub, sitting by the firepit wrapped in a blanket gazing at a double rainbow, the pheasant strutting over the lawn and seeing the near full moon from our comfortable bed. A little piece of Devon heaven. Thank you.

This place is the most amazing beautiful peaceful place I have ever stayed in, in the UK. Stunning views, close to Torquay, Totnes, Paighton and Brixham. Lovely walks, Paighton Zoo not far away. Owners provide plenty of things for you to look at if you fancy a place to walk to, this was my 4th visit to my happy place. And hot tub is a lovely bonus

We stayed here last year and came back again this year.
The shepherd's hut sits in the most beautiful location with stunning views. The attention to detail in the accommodation and outside areas is second to none.
The hot tub is superb too.
The nearest local shop is a half hour pleasant walk away at Stoke Gabriel, which also has a pub and riverside restaurant where we had food and local beers and wine.
If you're after a peaceful get away from it all, this is the venue for you.
We love this place and look forward to visiting again in future!

This place is amazing ,so so clean , everything

Third stay here and booking for next year, owners are so lovely also, views are stunning , loads of stuff to do around the area

What a fantastic experience! I cannot wait to go back in fact I have already booked.
The views were beautiful and it was very peaceful here. Great location to get to Totnes, Stoke Gabriel and Dartmouth etc The hot tub was the icing on the cake.
I keep day dreaming and wishing I was still there. Thankyou to John and Diane for being so welcoming!

Absolutely blown away by this amazing little Sheppards hut in Devon. It exceeded our expectations.
A peaceful location on higher ground giving you the most stunning views of the Devon countryside with total privacy.
The property and outside areas were spotlessly clean and finished to the highest standard. The attention to detail is what made this place so special. The owners clearly adore this place as it's so well looked after. It was very well equipt... They really had thought of everything!
The hot tub was a great bonus too and we were even supplied with hot tub towels.
This is a great option for a perfect little getaway from the hussle and bussle of busy life.
We had a little walk to the local shop and river side restaurant in Stoke Gabriel which was beautiful.
We loved it so much we are going to book to come back next year ??

The Bowhay Shepherds Hut far exceeded our expectations! Absolutely perfect for a relaxing break. Looking out at the view from the hot tub was the perfect way to start and end each day.
The bed was incredibly easy to use and also extremely comfortable.
We will definitely book again!

The most perfect escape. Stunning views from the hut and hot tub, beautifully kept with a high standard of cleanliness and attention to detail.
Love love love it here!

The property was amazing, the hut was so nice and cute! Everything we needed and more was there! The hot tub was lovely and the bed was so comfy! All the little touches like a cup and bottle holder next to the hot tub was a great touch and all the little added details added to the character of the hut. The hosts were lovely and respected our privacy but made sure we were happy and that we had everything we needed. The location was stunning, in the middle of one of the most beautiful and quiet farms in the country, all you could hear were the animals which makes such a nice change from home! We didn't want to leave and we have already recommend Bowhay Shepherds hut to all of our friends and shared the link like crazy! Thank you so much!

2nd time we have stayed and never been disappointed, location is perfect , hosts are lovely and hot tub perfect, a pure piece of Devon paradise

We had a wonderful stay at Bowhay Shepherds hut. Relaxing and enjoyable. We would love to come back!!

Some things are just perfect. Bowhay Shepherd's Hut is one of them. Very well appointed indeed, and so cosy; lovely location; peaceful; views to enrich the eye; and that hot tub! What a dip; so good and smoothing to relax in each evening. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks to the very friendly owners for providing such a delightful haven with which to explore this part of Devon. David & Galina Siveter, Leicestershire.

Amazing place to stay, lovely finishes throughout the hut with a hot tub looking out towards superb views.

Location very good for Dartmouth, Brixham, Torquay etc.

Such a lovely peaceful place wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again highly recommend it, thank you to the hosts.

Bowhay far exceeded our expectations! The property was spotlessly clean and the owners had thought of everything. The location was outstanding and it was the most relaxing holiday we’ve ever had.

I have never before found myself wishing I was an artist ! The hut, it's cosy terrace, the hot tub with champagne bottle stand and filled glasses, the colourful flowers bordering the pathway, the chickens pecking away at the bottom of your own lawn, the views across the landscape from your commanding perch in any light or weather and of course the smiling Alpacas on welcoming duties at the gate.....all so pretty you will find it difficult to tear yourself away at times.

Beautiful accommodation. Spotlessly clean. Stunning views. Loved the hot tub & the fire pit. Highly recommend.

Ingeniously designed stylish Shepherds Hut with gorgeous touches. Expectations met and surpassed in terms of accommodation and location with a view to die for. Not to mention the hot tub. Cannot recommend highly enough and have done so already to friends.

We were very pleased beyond words, we had a fantastic time and the owners of the shepherd's hut just put unique personal touches and it was so clean and fantastic. Location was fantastic, would highly recommend.

Idyllic location, with breathtaking views to wake up to each morning. Will definitely be returning!

Loved everything about it
Would highly recommend.

Had an amazing getaway to Bowhay Shepherd’s Hut. Only regret was that we did not book for longer! The Hut was exceptionally clean, with everything you would need provided. An extremely peaceful setting and exactly what we had wanted! Beautiful views from the hot tub as well - would definitely recommend!

This is a beautiful property and we would love to stay again in the future. The location is extremely tranquil and the property is of a very high standard. I would (and have) wholeheartedly recommend this property to others.

Absolutely stunning location. Immaculate accommodation.

We had such a lovely, relaxing stay here. Excellent base for day trips to explore South Devon. Hot tub was great and the views were stunning. We’ll be back!

It was the perfect escape for some peace & tranquility. The hut was lovely & so well equipped. The hot tub was perfect & the view when in it was beautiful. The hosts were friendly & helpful & the fresh eggs each morning, just lovely. A great location for a retreat, with lots to explore & do near by. Just lovely.

The Bowhay shepherd's hut is a seamless craftsmanship threading the right balance of retro and luxury. The hot tub is perfect for relaxing after a long hike. Alpacas are always happy to greet you when you arrive. We definitely plan on visiting again.

Just a magical place to be everything you need is there for you to enjoy do not hesitate to get into the hot tub you can unpack and eat later WOW!!!!!!

Quiet and peaceful location with a wonderful hot tub great after a walk to the Millpond.

We had the most amazing stay over the weekend.
There was personal touches which I look forward to staying somewhere and the tranquility of the space was perfect

We had a lovely stay in the Shepherd’s hut. It exceeded our expectations in every way. We especially enjoyed the beautiful views and of course the hot tub. We can’t wait to come back and explore more of this beautiful part of the country.

We had the most amazing break! Such a well thought and designed place to stay.
By far the best place we've stayed at! So pretty and we definately had holiday blues!!
Thanks for a lovely staycation x

Beautiful hut, spotlessly clean, very peaceful area, fabulous hot tub.
Many lovely places to visit nearby.
We had a fabulous week.

This is a beautiful place to stay for a holiday. It's a great base from which to explore Devon. The hut is really comfortable and has spectacular views. This is the perfect holiday hut for a couple.

We had a wonderful 5 days in Bowhay Shepherds Hut - like many others Covid19 meant we had to cancel several holidays (overseas and UK), so this was our first trip away this year. We were absolutely delighted from the moment we arrived until the moment we left - it was exactly what we needed!
The views from the hut are beautiful and the location is excellent for walking. The hosts have equipped the hut extremely well and the outdoor hot tub is an added bonus. We fully intend to revisit next year.

The Bowhay shepherd hut was a delight to stay at and the location and views are second to none. Shops and facilities are all within a short drive and there is plenty to do around the hut.

We used the hot tub nearly every night and the views come alive when it is a clear night and all the stars come out.

The hosts were excellent and more than accommodating, especially given the COVID pandemic. Fresh eggs, milk and orange juice were a lovely addition. Likewise a large store or kindling and logs for the indoor fire and firepit gave us several uses throughout the week.

We'd highly recommend the hut to anyone thinking about an escape to the country and some relaxation time.

The Shepherds Hut at Bowhay is finished to an exceptionally high standard, complete with hot tub and amazing views. It exceeded all expectation, the added touch of providing fresh milk, eggs, orange juice and biscuits on arrival was a lovely gesture.

The hut itself is very well set out and offers ample storage areas, kitchen facilities and everything you can possibly need. The kitchen area was well stocked with utensils, cutlery and cleaning products. There is a selection of books/maps of the local area, tourist attraction information and board games also provided. Outside the hut, is a well placed hot tub, fire pit and seating area offering incredible views.

The location itself is great for exploring the local area and neighbouring towns/villages.

The accommodation and setting is a credit to the owners, both of who are very attentive and welcoming. We would not hesitate in recommending Bowhay and hope to return again in the future.
