Old Orchard Shepherd's Hut
Quiet, Peaceful, Private
Our hand built Shepherds Hut nestles above the Old Orchard with views across the valley. Blossom in spring, long grass humming with bees in summer and always a cosy fire to keep you warm.
Your Stay
A visit to West Town is a world apart from the busyness of everyday life. Find the space and time to truly relax on our 270 acre farm. The hut has its own garden and entrance, woodburner, board games, firepit and picnic bench.
With availability from February through to November, a stay at the Old Orchard Shepherd's Hut is a dreamlike getaway, no matter the weather.
Children of all ages are welcome but we ask that you don't bring pets (with the exception of support and guide dogs).
Facilities
Simply and beautifully furnished with a comfortable double bed, electric lamps, table and woodburner.
Outside there is a firepit for cooking (tripod & grill provided) and a picnic bench where you can enjoy your evening meals. There is also a fully equipped shed kitchen, fitted with a double ring gas burner, small fridge, toaster, plus table and chairs.
The bathroom hut has an electric shower and a compost loo, and towels are provided.
The farm also has a small self-service shop which is open from 8am-5pm during the week, and 9am-4pm at the weekend. More information on what we stock in our shop can be found here.
Things To Do
You might start by walking our farm trail which meanders through fields and an old railway cutting, now magnificently overgrown and jungly. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, you could head to Ide for a pub lunch.
If you fancy getting out and about, West Town Farm makes a great base to explore the rest of Devon: walks on Dartmoor, local swimming spots or exploring the South Hams coast.
Within close proximity, you may like to venture into the city; pre-dating the arrival of the Romans in AD 50, Exeter’s history is rich and long.
