Spend a night under the stars in a traditional Shepherd’s hut.
The concept of a shepherd's hut dates back to the 15th century. It was a kitchen, dining room, bedroom, sitting room and storeroom all rolled into one and used by shepherds in the fields during sheep raising and lambing season, primarily in the United Kingdom and France. The designs vary but all were constructed to provide the shepherd with practical and durable accommodation.
This heritage style of accommodation has been restored and decorated in a vintage style and situated in an enclosure with a fire pit, outdoor table and chairs surrounded by countryside. It has an antique pot-bellied baby wood burner, cooking stove, toilet, double bed, microwave, water bowser, Kilner water dispenser, fridge, 2 Ercol armchairs and a vintage radio.
With this glamping experience you will enjoy a one night stay in the Shepherd’s hut.

Camping can be great fun and this experience allows you to enjoy all the joys of camping without having to rough it.

If you're looking for a short break away to escape somewhere different and quirky with your partner, camping pods are the perfect getaway.
This voucher entitles two adults to a two night's stay in a camping pod. You can book additional nights at an extra fee at time of booking.

Restrictions may apply to days of the week and months of the year for some locations.
*Please note, at the Paignton location you are unable to take pets.
