We had a wonderful time it was the perfect place to unwind and decompress, we loved the shepherds hut it was so cute and everything made for a perfect stay ,we loved the cows in front of us and we watched a sunrise which was breathtaking, we were lucky enough to extend another 2 nights - thanks Vicky -we just didn’t feel ready to leave ! We will definitely be back ! Thank you for everything Vicky and John.

We had a great stay in Salcombe Shepherd Huts and have been regularly returning for the past few years. The huts themselves have everything you could possibly need for a short break, together with cosy wood fires and underfloor heating. Vicki is a lovely host and even provided a bottle of fizzy which was a lovely surprise to our stay! We can’t wait to return!!
