Shepherds Hut

**Benton View Shepherds Hut** is located just outside **Exmoor National Park** near the village of Benton, right in the middle of the breathtakingly gorgeous north **Devon** countryside.  The very welcoming owners have created an oasis here on their working farm; a small and exclusive one-party **glamping** site, set in beautiful rolling green meadows, with a single **handcrafted shepherds hu**t for two, with fantastic views up to the moor and down to the sea.  Another tent is welcome if there are more than two in your party, but the site is exclusively yours for the duration of your stay.

The location is very peaceful and wonderfully rural; the Shepherd’s hut sits proudly in the orchard on its cast wheels, with wooden steps leading up to the stable door.  It is surrounded by a low picket fence, so you won’t have any friendly goats joining you for dinner, and there is a well kept private garden with a barbeque area and a picnic bench for eating outdoors.  Inside the hut there is everything you need; a double bed for two, linen, a kitchenette with gas hob and sink, table and chairs and a log burner (with wood) to keep you cosy on chillier nights.  The shower and toilet are in a separate block and there is also access to a larger kitchen with fridge/freezer and microwave should you need it.  Nothing has been forgotten.  The wood panelled shepherd's hut is beautifully furnished - tasteful but unfussy - with pretty curtains and cushions making it homely and warm, and a welcome pack with a few basics will be there on arrival.  Because of the sheep, lambs and goats on the farm, you will have to leave your doggy pal at home for this one….but there will be no shortage of other friendly animals to cuddle if you want to!

It is blissfully tranquil at Benton View.  Guests are allowed to wander around the 14 acres of farmland, help with the animals or just sit and relax in the peaceful surroundings.  For exploring North Devon you could not be in a better place.  It is just a few miles from Exmoor National Park, a stunning landscape of wild moors, wooded valleys and secluded walking trails - perfect for hikers - and some wonderful cycling routes too.  The **beaches** of North Devon are also very close by, including the sandy stretches at **Ilfracombe**, **Woolacombe** and Putsborough beach at **Croyde** - renowned as one of the cleanest and most beautiful beaches in the south west.  Here you can swim and surf or have a go at something wild, like coasteering!  For a more relaxing day trip, hop aboard the **Lynton and Barnstaple steam train**; the only steam railway in the UK where you can travel in the actual Victorian carriages that were designed in the 1890’s.  Or take the boat from Illfracombe to the National Trust’s **Lundy Island,** home to a fascinating array of wildlife - including **puffins** - and some seriously dramatic scenery.

Back at Benton View, relax in your private garden at the Shepherds Hut, fire up the barbeque and watch the sun setting over spectacular scenery.  Exmoor was Europe’s first ever International Dark Sky Reserve, which makes it one of the best places in the UK for stargazing; so just sit back, and enjoy the view…..

Benton View - Luxury Shepherds Huts

Holiday on Exmoor in style with a glamping experience to remember - Benton View Shepherds Huts

Benton View Shepherds Hut

Come and stay in our lovely Drovers Hut, built on an ex-army ammunition trailer, it was bought by a local farmer who planned to turn it into a large trailer for carrying hay bales.  We found it in a hedge, covered in ivy and with a tree growing up through it.  We bought it, de-treed it and turned it into this lovely, cosy, romantic hut.

The Drovers Hut has sleeping for 5-6, including a king-size bed, single bunks and a trestle bed which pulls out from under the main king-size bed.

It has a gorgeous country kitchen with a Belfast sink, solid oak worktop, dresser top, two burner gas hob, a table and benches and a wonderful wood burning range stove with oven and hobs above.  Lighting is powered by solar panels and candles for added ambience.  The kitchen is equipped with pots and pans, utensils, crockery and cutlery.

All the beds have comfy memory foam mattresses, and plump pillows and are made up of quality linen.

The drovers hut is fitted out beautifully, in a lovely peaceful corner of the field, and has a decking area which has two gates to secure it for dogs or children. The Drovers hut has outdoor seating, a picnic table, a fire pit/ BBQ and a lovely wood-fired hot tub. Adjacent to the hut sits a private bathroom with a flushing loo, hand basin and hot shower.

There is access, via a style to a wild garden with a stream running through it.  Perfect for, just sitting quietly with nature, exploring, bear hunts or searching for fairies! You can also walk the footpath from the farm, to explore Wistlandpound Reservoir.

Well-behaved dogs are permitted at £5 per night, please do not leave dogs in the hut unattended. Please also keep in mind the neighbouring farm animals that live on the premises when bringing your companion.

Eggs from the hens are also collected and left in the laundry room, with an honesty box for you to help yourselves, guests are also welcome to collect eggs straight from the next boxes. You will also have access to our toilet block which is heated all year round. Complete with drying wall, electrical sockets, fridge freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer.

Fresh meat is often available for sale on-site. Please contact for further information.

**Whitemoor Camping** is set on a small, picturesque farm overlooking the village of Bishops Tawton in Devon.  With glorious views over the **Taw Valley**, the campsite is surrounded by fields grazed on by sheep and is just a few miles from the lovely north **Devon** coast. Whitemoor Farm is off the beaten track down a country lane and it is a rural and peaceful spot with no passing traffic.  The campsite has been kept natural and wild and the owners are keen to keep it that way; to respect the surrounding countryside and abundant wildlife and keep things beautiful and unspoilt.  It is a fuss-free, rustic campsite.  They welcome tents and campervans predominantly, but if you do have a caravan or motorhome then give them a call, as they can often accommodate larger vehicles if you book in advance.  

The tent pitches are a very good size indeed, and the site has bags of space on the grassy slopes for you to set up camp and relax.  Cars are kept off the main camping field, which means kids can roam safely to their heart’s content, and vehicle noise is kept to a minimum.  There is a well maintained utility block with flushing loos, hot showers, basins and a washing up area, and the drinking water onsite comes from a borehole, providing delicious naturally filtered Devon water.  A large open fire makes a great area to cook on and sit around, and there is also a plot for a bonfire.  The campsite has a good, old fashioned vibe of camping how it used to be.

It’s a brilliant place for a big gang.  The whole campsite can be **hired out exclusively** if you are looking for somewhere to have a get-together, family gathering or club meet up.  You can even get married here, in the lovely functions barn onsite, which is furnished and can be decked out beautifully for any occasion.  Aside from the main field there is a hidden camping plot down by the river in a secluded location, which can also be hired out for a minimum of 20 people. 

The location of Whitemoor camping is excellent, and while staying here there is absolutely loads to see and do without having to travel too far.  Less than 2 miles away is **Barnstaple**, the largest town in Devon on the banks of the River Taw and famous for its lovely narrow streets, fine buildings and the 13th Century Long Bridge.  For beaches, you are spoilt for choice, with the sandy shores of **Saunton Sands**, **Croyde** (great for surfing) and **Putsborough** only fifteen minutes away.  **The Tarka Trail** - a 180 mile traffic free cycling and walking route across North Devon and Exmoor - can be accessed directly from the campsite and will keep hikers and cyclists happy for days.  **Exmoor National Park**, with its breathtaking landscape of moorland, woodland, coast and rivers is also right on the doorstep.

Back at the campsite, you can choose to cook over one of the large open fires or wander into the local village of Bishops Tawton and have a delicious home cooked meal at the local pub - the Chichester Arms.  Whitemoor camping is a great, family friendly choice for those who are looking for a rural and well run campsite, nestled in some of Devon’s most lovely countryside.
