Herdwick Shepherd Hut

We needed somewhere to rest after a long day of walking The Two Moors Way and this was perfect.

We would have loved to have stayed longer to enjoy the facilities more.

Couldn't find the actual place and still waiting for refund

Attitude of owner

Great place very beautifully located close to dartmmor national park. We had everything we needed. We could light a bonfire, we had a tripod for bbq and a small fireplace inside the hut which gave us warmth and atmosphere. The hut is well equipped and very clean. We had a great time. Highly recommend this place.

We really enjoyed our stay. Excellent location and accommodation.

A very nice and well-equiped hut in a remote and quiet location. A great place to relax and stay close to nature. Every hut has its own "yard" which is of a good size and includes a campfire place and a picnic table.

Beds are a bit short for someone who is very tall (I am 6'7"). The wood we purchased in the camp was not dry enough, so it took a long time and a bit of effort before it started comfortably burning. But this is only a very minor issue with an otherwise excellent overall experience.

I enjoyed sitting by the fire, drinking wine whilst listening to the evening song and my two children playing in the babbling brook. They also enjoyed the lambs, exploring the numerous dens and tree swings and finding crystals in the stream. The hut was comfortable, and warm and cosy with the wood burner. Staff were helpful with solutions and also gave us a later check out time due to our situation of car dying enroute and a couple of issues.

I didn't get a reply from questions I sent before our visit. We'd broken down on our way so arrived at dusk and very tired, there wasn't any toilet roll and the door handle inside the hut just came off. Messaged Staff, who later offered to come down, but we'd made do with getting a roll from the communal toilets and could shut and lock the door anyhoo, so it was fine really. My youngest didn't like a couple of resident spiders in the bathroom so I had to keep making them scurry and hide away to pretend they were gone 😅

This is a fantastic location, with beautiful scenery and a lovely stream running through the campsite. Our kids have already requested a return trip! The room was well kitted out, very clean and a good size for a family with two small children. Overall a fun experience!

The interior door handle was broken - it fell off when closing the door! We also only got check in information (including that no towels are provided) on the morning of our check in; it would be great to get all the relevant information a few days in advance to help with planning! It would be great to have metal tongs to cook with on the fire - we noticed that the plastic tongs had been used (and partially melted...) by previous users.
