Falling in love with Rosie’s Hut is inevitable, you’ll be in awe from the moment your bags hit the floor. Tucked away in tranquil seclusion, wonderful wildflowers encompass this romantic abode. As dusk settles, pretty festoon lighting illuminates the outside space, creating a magical atmosphere. Romance seekers will love nothing more than pouring a glass of bubbles and slipping into the steamy wood-fired hot tub as the moon and stars appear. Admire the milky way then head inside the hut where dreamy nights sleep await.

Step Inside

Feel a wave of calm wash over you as you step inside - the soft colour palette and floral decor create the most welcoming space for your retreat to nature. Snuggled to the left of the hideaway is the comfy king-size bed, an idyllic spot to rest your head at the end of the day. There’s a window which looks out towards rolling green pastures from the bed. Why not grab some fresh pastries, enjoy a golden pot of coffee and simply marvel at the view - starting your day with complete ease. There’s a warming wood-burner nestled in the corner of the hut, a lovely feature sure to keep you cosy on a winter’s day. The beautifully presented shower room sits to the right of the hut, idyllic for freshening up for the day ahead.The sweet kitchen area is superbly equipped with all the essentials, including a double hob, combination oven, fridge, kettle, toaster and Belfast sink - treat that special someone to a romantic evening in, with a home cooked meal and their favourite glass of red! There’s a fold away table for indoor dining, but if the weather is in your favour, be sure to head outside and dine alfresco beside the warmth of the fire pit.

Outdoors

The outside space is truly special. By day you are blessed with a vibrant display of wildflowers, which line the path leading the way to this fairytale retreat. You can stroll through the surrounding woodland from Rosie’s Hut admiring vibrant poppies, pretty cornflowers and lovely daffodils along the way. Or simply sit in the sun soaked garden and get lost in a good read. By night, Rosie’s Hut comes to life, oozing with romance and glowing under moonlight. The sweet little table is perfect for a spot of breakfast, afternoon charcuterie board or evening sundowner. Magical moments await as daylight fades and the stars appear.

A stay at this Rosie’s Hut will leave you feeling totally relaxed, utterly rejuvenated and completely in love.

Explore

Situated near the quirky town of Totnes, you are within reach of all the beauty that south Devon has to offer. Wander through the independent shops, stop at The Bull Inn for some delicious local food or head to the bustling weekly market on Fridays and Saturdays to pick up some treats to enjoy back at your hideaway. Brixham is also a short distance away; visit the famous Golden Hind, spend a day at Breakwater Beach or take a refreshing dip in Shoalstone seawater pool. Why not stop at one of the traditional harbourside pubs for a pint overlooking the water? You can also hop on a ferry from Brixham Harbour to Torquay.

Outdoor enthusiasts will be in their element here, with Dartmoor National Park and the South Hams countryside just a stone’s throw away. The small village of Stoke Gabriel is very picturesque and leads you right to the edge of the River Dart. Go kayaking on the river and be sure to stop for a bite to eat at The River Shack. Keen cyclists will love Haldon Forest, with its variety of cycling trails and bikes available to hire. The combined riverboat and steam railway trip between Totnes and Dartmouth makes for a lovely day out. Near Dartmouth, you'll also find the remote and secluded small shingle beaches of Castle Cove and Sugary Cove. For long days lazing on the sand head to Bigbury, Thurlestone or Salcombe. Agatha Christie's former holiday home at Greenway is another must-see, along with Compton Castle, a National Trust property. With all of this to explore and more, you will want to return time and time again.

The hut and hot tub were glorious, we had a fabulous time together and the space was perfect. It was a little less private than we were expecting, but that is probably down to the fact that the trees and bushes were all bare and haven’t sprung to spring life yet, which made it feel more exposed. The mattress was very soft and cozy but too soft for my back. But everyone has a personal preference and you can’t cater for everyone… would highly recommend Rosie’s hut though it has a really beautiful spot and hot tub was perfect. The owners were very accommodating and helpful. Everything was very easy and catered for. Many thanks.

Rosie's cottage is idyllic and peaceful. Give plenty of time for the hot tub to warm up. Parking is good although difficult when reversing into country lane. Both Dartmouth and Totnes within driving distance although taxis very difficult to book especially in the evening. Overall a great place to chill.

Our stay at Rosie’s cottage was amazing. The hut itself is cosy and welcoming. It is in a great spot with its own private space. The location is brilliant, no more than 15-30 mins from great walks, food, and towns to visit. I would definitely go back.

Lovely quiet little spot for exploring Devon, if you can drag yourself away from the hot tub ??. We had a lovely, restful weekend at the hut listening to the birds, stargazing from the hot tub, and just generally enjoying the peace and quiet.

A perfect few days getaway, Rosie’s hut is cosy and just what I needed to be able to unwind and switch off for a few days. Idyllic location, very comfortable bed and a lovely hot tub to sit and watch the sun go down. 100% recommend.

Rosie’s Hut was in a beautiful secluded setting. It was idyllic to just relax and the hot tub listening to the birds singing and the sounds of the nearby farm animals. We received a lovely welcome from James to make sure we had everything we wanted.
The hut is so well equipped and very cosy!

Lovely shepherds hut, really enjoyed the hut tub, but sadly not as tranquil and peaceful as expected.

Thank you for your review of Rosie's Hut. I am so pleased that you enjoyed the hot tub! Unwinding under the stars is a luxury you can truly experience here. I can see that you experienced some noise from a nearby celebration during your stay. This doesn't happen often, and I hope that you still had a relaxing stay here. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Chloe, Customer Support.

I would not stay here again. The hut was very dated and the owners rude.

It was very overpriced for what was on offer

A stay at Rosie's Hut is an absolute must if you're looking for a quiet, peaceful, romantic getaway with your partner.

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights, and we wished we could have stayed longer. We really didn't want to leave.

It truly is a little piece of heaven in a beautiful part of Devon. We will definitely be back again, hopefully for longer next time ????

Rosie's Hut is great! We stayed there for a weekend getaway for my girlfriend's birthday. Rosie's has a lovely wood-fire heated hot tub that looks out on the countryside, and all the amenities you could need. Would strongly recommend!

What a beautiful weekend break away. The Shepherds Hut is tucked away in the most beautiful setting where you can watch everything nature has to offer. The cooking facilities in the hut were perfect and meant we could cook some nice dinners whilst waiting for the hot tub to heat up (takes approx 3/4 hours). The hot tub is so worth the wait, being able to sip a nice glass of bubbles and look up at the stars was like something from a movie. It even started to rain on us whilst we were in the tub, but even that was a great experience. The shower was larger than expected and was easy to use. The large king size bed was super comfortable and we slept so well. We visited Brixham, Berry Head, Dartmouth and Totnes. Was only there for a weekend but everything was so easy to get to. Berry Head for the views is a must, breathtaking. The Cott Inn does the most amazing food and is a beautiful pub inside and out. It was great to read through the little blue book of how the hut came to be what it is today. Thank you James and Rosie for making our stay just perfect and we would definitely recommend to our friends and family. They even sent us a message the day before we arrived to let us know the path from our car to the hut was a little wet and to pack some waterproof shoes, those little things make all the difference.

We had a wonderful weekend away in this beautiful Shepherd’s Hut! It was so cosy yet functional, and the hot tub was amazing (you will need to be patient to wait for it to warm up, but it’s worth it!). Thanks very much Rosie and James!

Take your own torch as you know the batteries will be ok. Bring wellies or flipflops for the wet grassy track from your car. If like me you have long hair which needs some maintenance even if glamping then bring your own hairdryer and mirror.

Rosie’s hut is better than we could’ve imagined, the location is gorgeous - the cows, sheep, and birds waking us up, and the hot tub to send us to sleep was perfect. The bed is incredibly comfortable, and overall the hut is just so cosy and sweet, we loved it.
We had everything we needed - the only thing I’d say to bring is a baking sheet; but other than that, we had everything we could’ve needed!
There are some beautiful walks around the property, where you can say hello to the owners sheep, we went in May so all the wild flowers were out and looking beautiful, as well!
The owners are incredible hosts, nothing was too much for them, and they were incredibly accommodating for us.
We would highly recommend Rosie’s Hut, it’s absolutely perfect! Ideal for a romantic getaway, or just to press pause on life. We will definitely be booking again, and are already looking at the dates to come again! The only thing we’d change is the length of time - one week isn’t enough!

Rosie's Hut was well furnished, comfortable, and had everything we needed for the week. James and Rosie were easily contactable if we needed them for anything, and they provided very detailed information for our stay. We chose to stay at the hut for a couple of the days we were there rather than going out exploring, and we were perfectly happy to do so. The hot tub is a fabulous part of the whole experience. We also visited The Cott Inn for dinner a few miles away as per James' recommendation, and it was absolutely lovely. I highly recommend Rosie's Hut either for couples or someone on their own wanting a break away from the craziness of life.

Such a beautiful place to stay as a base for everything around South Devon. The Hut has everything you need for an incredible stay. Even though the weather was as British as you can get, the hut was beautifully warm and cozy. The hot tub was an added bonus once we worked out how to heat it properly!

Rosie’s Hut is wonderful. The location is perfect, it’s so peaceful and the view when you wake in the morning is just beautiful looking out to the hills.
You can hear the birds singing morning and night! You are surrounded with flowers, trees, hills and wildlife!
The hot tub is a great size for two people and you can enjoy this with a glass of wine watching the sunset go down!
We loved visiting Totnes town, Blackpool beach and the local vineyard for wine tasting! James was a wonderful host and on call for any questions I had during our stay. We even had a delicious box of biscuits ready for us on our arrival to enjoy with a cuppa Tea! Highly recommended and a great price too

Such a beautiful, fun and relaxing place. Set on a farm with woodlands to explore. The log burner inside keeps you very toasty on a wild November night and the hot tub is delightful too.

We stayed in Rosie’s hut for a long weekend and we have to say how impressed we were! We arrived and immediately loved the location and surroundings of the hut with such beautiful field views and lovely meadow of flowers! James welcomed us shortly after and made us feel comfortable and at home. There was plenty of room for storage and its just so cosy and lovely in there. We were also welcomed by the farm cat! We spent our days out in the beautiful south coast of Devon, visiting amazing beaches, some only 10/15 minute drive away. And after our long busy days exploring we were able to come back to the comfort of the hot tub! We underestimated how long it would take to heat up but when it got going it was just so relaxing and perfect after a long day. Cooking dinners was easy as everything was provided (except food) and we enjoyed eating out in the garden! Overall our stay couldn’t have been better and we would definitely recommend to anyone!!

Wonderful experience! Couldn’t fault Rosie’s hut from the incredibly comfortable king size bed with super soft linen to the well equipped kitchen to the hot tub. Stargazing, green fields, and bird spotting it’s impossible not to relax. Absolutely loved this place and with Dartmouth, Totnes and Blackpool sands a short drive away we couldn’t have wanted more. Just wished we had stayed for longer!

This is a gorgeous stay, and ran by the loveliest people - James was so attentive and came to say hello when we arrived, and also helped us when we couldn't quite figure out the knack of heating the hot tub! The gorgeous location, decor, and hospitality of the hosts made it wonderful and fabulous base to explore South Devon.

Our holiday experience at Rosie’s Hut was a wonderful one; Good location, stunning scenery, surrounded by nature and wildlife, perfect to see and hear all different types of animals/birds ! The hut was comfy and cosy and had everything we needed. The setting was peaceful and relaxing, just what we needed for a break away from busy everyday life. Shops were not far by car and great location to get to Dartmouth from. Enjoyed our holiday here !!

A quaint and comfortable shepherds hut in a very quiet location.
So cosy with the log burner going, especially in the wet and windy weather.
Perfect for that “get away from it all” break.

Absolutely beautiful hut with lovely views. We really enjoyed our stay there. It was our first glamping experience and we loved it. James and Rosie were both very nice and helpfull. The location was great for walks in the rolling hills and not to far from Totnes and Dartmouth. And our first hot tub experience under the stars was unforgettable. Would highly recommend.
