Rancher's Hut

Ranchers Hut is quite simply a stunning property for relaxing off grid in the countryside.
Not only was our accommodation better than we expected, the attention to detail and decor was sublime. Every room, finishing and amenity followed a theme without exception.
The wood-fire hot tub was the perfect addition for unwinding on an evening with the surrounding views a welcome wake up on a morning.
The location is ideal for countryside walks, with local amenities within easy reach.
We will 100% be returning!

Everything about our stay exceeded our expectations.
From the warm welcome to the thoughtful touches throughout our visit, it was clear how much care goes into every detail. The owners greeted us on arrival, took time to walk us through all the facilities, and were reachable and responsive to any additional questions, attentive without feeling intrusive.

The atmosphere was wonderfully relaxing, and every aspect of our stay felt carefully considered. The location was beautiful, close to amenities and within walking distance of a local pub serving real ales. We left feeling genuinely refreshed and already planning our return.

Absolute beautiful stay at Ranchers Hut everything we needed was there. The location was 10 out of 10. Loved the underfloor heating and log burner. Even though the weather was rubbish during our stay we still made full use of the hot tub. Communication with the owners was fantastic, the furnishings were amazing we had the best most relaxing stay here and would definitely recommend to family and friends. We will definitely be returning. Thank you

We had a wonderful weekend at Ranchers Hut, it really is a beautiful place to stay and I would highly recommend. We did a lovely walk along the river and ended up at lovely pub called The Golden Lion.

We had the perfect retreat in this gorgeously decorated lodge. The Rancher’s Hut was in a quiet location with lovely lambs on our doorstep too. It felt like a little oasis. Considering how cold it was outside, our lodge was so warm and cosy even with underfloor heating in the bathroom. It has ideal self catering amenities which made cooking a treat. The owner was very kind and helped us with the wood fired hot tub and even returned with some salt for the patio as it had iced over in the freezing cold.
Would love to come back! X

We had a wonderful weekend stay at this cosy rancher’s hut and couldn’t have asked for a better little escape. The hut is beautifully thought out – warm, welcoming and perfectly snug, with everything you need for a comfortable break. It felt like a real retreat from everyday life, especially in the evenings when we could relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The setting is quiet and charming, ideal for switching off and recharging, and the attention to detail inside made it feel special rather than just a place to sleep. A perfect spot for a short getaway – we left feeling refreshed and would happily return.

What a beautiful place to stay.
The surrounding landscapes are beautiful and the ranchers hut is decorated perfectly for the theme.
The fire pit area was the perfect place to spend our evenings. Everything you need for a relaxed couples getaway.

My partner and I stayed here over a long weekend and had an absolutely lovely time! Even including a slightly temperamental oven (which the hosts did warn us about and tell us how to handle it) the facilities were very good and the whole place was very clean. Both hosts were warm and welcoming and active on the phones to answer any questions we had. The area was gorgeous and only a 15 minute walk into Ottery St Mary, there seemed to be a lot of local walks on offer which we would have liked to do but unfortunately it was just far too hot, we do recommend The Donkey Sanctuary which is about 20 minutes away as it is free to go and I can see it being good fun for all ages. I would love to go back and stay for longer!

We had such a lovely time at Rancher’s Hut. It has a very special feel. Had everything we needed. Spotlessly clean. Beautiful well kept grounds. Hot tub easy to use. Pizza oven was fab - kids said it was the best pizza they’ve ever had! We will definitely come again, thanks so much.

The hosts are extremely friendly and welcoming. A great weekend away , will definitely be returning.

Amazing and unique property, our hosts were lovely and accommodating, the property itself is beautifully done and in a fantastic location to explore, we thoroughly enjoyed the wood fired hot tub, outdoor pizza oven and fire pit. We will definitely be returning in the future!

We all absolutely adored our stay at the hut and didn’t want to leave to come home. We will definitely be booking again next year. It exceeded all our expectations!!

My family had an amazing stay at The Rancher's Hut for my wifes 40th birthday. We met the owners Dave & Vicky on arrival and they were very friendly and helpful. Our stay was only short and possibly not the best time of year for the weather (end of November) but we still had a great time in the hot tub, making pizzas in the pizza oven and toasting marshmallows around the fire pit. We'd definitely recommend a stay here and would love to come back again (maybe next time in the summer months)!

We had a lovely stay. The hosts were available but unobtrusive and the hut was very comfortable and well kitted out. We enjoyed wondering down to the lake and trying to spot beavers and seeing their dam!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week stay at Ranchers Hut. The hut was cosy, comfortable with a well thought out interior. A peaceful location with wonderful views of the countryside, birds and wildlife. The outside area was great with room to relax and for children to play. Fire pit/BBQ was a nice area to sit and cook and hot tub an added bonus ! A great base for country walks, beaches and visitor attractions.

Lovely peace and quiet
Nice outdoor space
Quite compact inside but nicely furnished

Beautiful area! If you're looking for relaxation and tranquility, I highly recommend Ranchers Hut! Will be recommending to everyone I know.

We booked a last minute weekend break our family of 3 and it was lovely. The Rancher hut is lovely and in a beautiful Location. We had such a lovely relaxing stay. Everything was perfect from the cosy bed to the amazing shower, has everything you need. And not forgetting the log fire hot tub what was a winner with our daughter and us. Hot tub takes a few hours to get warm but was worth waiting for. We will definitely be coming again. xx

A magical few days staycation away for our family. Beautiful earthy interiors, surrounded by rolling hills, immaculately clean and attention to details and incredibly well insulated.
Very friendly and flexible hosts.
Wonderful wood-fired hot tub, lovely bathroom and the highlight is the gorgeous design of the wooden, Western style deck. We were so relaxed.
Great location, very close to a nearby supermarket for convinience even though you still feel in remote and in the wild which was what we wanted.
Highly recommend. We will definitely go back!
The only small thing we would mention is that there isn't a sofa or lounge chair for comfort indoors in the evenings if it is raining but that didn't really effect us too much.

Every luxury was truly catered for in this beautiful hut surrounded by nature, a gorgeous spot with every detail clearly considered so well, I absolutely loved this spot!

Really enjoyed our stay. Our host was great. Fantastic location and undersold in my opinion.

Perfect, relaxing location.
