About Fullabrook Farm Retreat
Perched on a hilltop near Barnstaple, Fullabrook Farm Retreat offers just one shepherd's hut – The Shepherdess – hand-built by the owners on their working farm. This adults-only retreat delivers proper seclusion amid woodland views and grazing sheep, with a kingsize bed, compact kitchenette (gas hob, Belfast sink, fridge-freezer) and en-suite shower. Robes, toiletries and central heating add creature comforts, while the private patio comes equipped with barbecue and firepit for clear-sky evenings and spectacular sunsets.
West Down village sits five minutes' drive away, home to a community shop and a well-regarded foodie pub. The location also puts North Devon's coastal activities – kayaking, surfing, horse riding – within easy reach. With space for just one booking at a time, you're guaranteed peace, though the tiny scale means facilities are basic and you'll need to be self-sufficient. Ideal for couples seeking a romantic, off-grid escape with a genuine farm setting.

A fabulous little hideaway nestled on one side of a lush valley with a couple of horses as your neighbours. Fullabrook Farm Retreat has all you need for a cosy get away from the firepit and BBQ outside to the fully equipped kitchen and ample shower room, as well as the extremely comfortable bed. The host Zoe was was non intrusive but was on hand to help with any questions or additional logs. All in all a very cosy, comfortable bolt hole in a beautiful setting. We would fully recommend and will be back to stay again.

What a beautiful, tranquil location! The cabin is so well-appointed and has everything you need for either a long or short stay. The bed was both big and very comfortable, and the shower was excellent t. It was spotlessly clean and we loved our stay.

What a find! We wanted to explore North Devon and love to stay in a Shepherds Hut (this was our 4th) and after some research found Fullabrook Farm to celebrate both of our birthdays… the hut was perfectly designed with all the home comforts you need.. the outside space was fantastic. We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed sitting by the bbq & fire pit watching the 2 resident ponies 💕 it was also very private. Some really lovely extra touches by the host, Zoe.. a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge on arrival & marshmallows for the fire pit. It was our favourite shepherds hut stay so far .. thank you
