Higher Orchard Hut

About this property

Situated just off a working family farm in Cornwall, this beautiful shepherd’s hut is perfect for a couple looking for a peaceful rural retreat surrounded by countryside. The immediate area is a haven for wildlife, and walkers can enjoy some picturesque strolls direct from the property to explore Barton Millenium Wood, Millenium Wood in North Petherwin or Beales Medow Nature Reserve (2.5 miles).

Step inside via three steps to a charming property perfectly designed with a comfortable living/sleeping area boasting a wood burner and underfloor heating for those chillier nights. It’s the perfect space for relaxing after a day of exploring. The modest kitchen is beautifully presented and offers all you need for simple suppers. At the end of the day, retire to a king-size bed. Completing the inside is an en-suite shower room, making for a comfortable stay in this delightful rustic environment. Stepping outside, you can enjoy a private, spacious lawn and patio area with comfortable outdoor furniture to enjoy dining outdoors. A real treat is the wood-fired hot tub to take in those glorious views of Dartmoor and take advantage of a clear night sky to stargaze.

For those who enjoy getting out and about in nature, you are ideally placed with Bodmin Moor, the Tamar Valley and Dartmoor National Park, all under 20 miles away. If golden sands and turquoise waters are also on the agenda, then the beautiful seaside town of Bude (14 miles) is worth a day trip with its three stunning beaches and lovely array of local shops and fine eateries. The town also provides access to the South West Coast Path. Another local attraction accessible from the property is Launceston (6.5 miles), a bustling market town with a Norman castle.
