Description

Nestled in the quiet hamlet of Quoditch, Ashwater, halfway between Dartmoor and the North Cornish Coast, this charming shepherd’s hut for two is the perfect base for exploring North Cornwall and West Devon. Overlooking the beautiful Carey Valley, you can take in the sweeping views or gather around the firepit. Nearby, discover scenic walks, wild swimming, local shops, wildlife experiences, and stunning Cornish beaches.

Inside the hut there is a very comfortable double sofa bed overlooking the stunning views of the countryside, a well-equipped kitchenette with a sink, mini fridge, air-fryer, microwave, and an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Step outside into the fresh country air and feel instantly connected to the peaceful natural surroundings. A private decked veranda offers a lovely spot to enjoy meals or unwind with a good book, while the patio features comfortable seating around the firepit, perfect for stargazing on crisp, clear evenings under the vast night sky.

Wander across the expansive private land that stretches down to the River Carey, where scenic walking trails link to nearby footpaths. Take time to dip your toes into the gentle river or simply pause and enjoy the tranquillity.

Bude’s beautiful beaches, including Summerleaze, Widemouth, and others, are amongst the closest to the hut, offering sandy shores, surf, and dramatic coastal scenery just a short drive away.

Arcadia Shepherd's Hut is a serene hideaway, ideal for couples or solo travellers seeking rest, nature, and a break from the bustle of everyday life.

On-site, there’s a Celtic-style stone medicine wheel, a meditative space where you can unwind and connect with the peaceful surroundings. You can also find the labyrinth carving, a single-path spirals leading inward, often associated with ancient ritual, meditation, or spiritual practices.

Location

Just a short stroll from Arcadia is the must visit the South Quoditch Medicine Wheel. Head out of the village and explore the local Stone Circles of Bodmin and Dartmoor, where people in ancient times gathered to worship and celebrate the cycles of nature.

The Dartmoor Tors National Park is a fascinating showcase of coooled and solidified molten rock. There are many walks to discover including the ancient Whitman Woods. Climb to the top of Brentor to see the views from the church at the top, then enjoy a spot of lunch at The Two Bridges. This can be a wild and bracing place to explore, so wrap up warm as the weather is unpredictable.

Only a few minutes drive away, Roadford Lake offers many water sports and activities, and there is a lovely walk round part of the lake. A huge range of locally made delicious ice cream is available from the cafe on a sunny day.

Wonderful for families, the closest beaches are on the North Cornish Coast; Widemouth, Northcott and Summerleaze are the beaches of Bude and approximately 35 minutes away. There are many beautiful sandy, surfing beaches to find if you explore deeper into Cornwall or along the North Devon coast.

Clovelly to Croyde Bay, are both worth a day trip out, as are Barnstable and Illfracombe. Travel to National Trust Lundy to see the wildlife thriving there. An atmospheric old fishing harbour village, visit the quaint coastal village of Boscastle in Cornwall, which is home to Boscastle Farm Shop overlooking the sea and coastal path. Book lunch at the popular The Napoleon Pub, located at the top of the village. Immerse yourself in history, myth, and stunning scenery at Tintagel Castle on Cornwall's rugged north coast.

The Eden Project is a a former clay mine with no soil or plants that has been transformed from a huge barren crater into a beautiful global garden - rediscover the natural world as you've never experienced it before.
