The property
Shepherds Hut at East Hill Prideis situated on a working fruit farm just outside Sidmouth, this wonderfully rustic shepherd’s hut offers a simple, back‑to‑nature escape with far‑reaching views towards Dartmoor and across the orchards. Set on a small, welcoming site, it’s an ideal spot to slow down and enjoy the surroundings. Inside, the hut is arranged in a cosy studio-style layout, with a double bed, compact kitchen, dining space and a small sitting area, perfect for relaxed, uncomplicated living. Full of rustic character, it provides everything you need for a comfortable countryside stay. Just a few steps away, you’ll find your own private shower room (for your sole use, not shared), complete with a walk‑in shower, basin, WC and heated towel rail. Outside, the setting really comes into its own. There’s a table and chairs for alfresco dining, along with a fire pit for evenings under open skies, all perfectly positioned to take in the far‑reaching rural views. Guests can also enjoy the convenience of the on-site farm shop, stocked with local produce and refreshments, as well as the tea rooms serving breakfasts and traditional cream teas, ideal when you fancy a treat without leaving the farm. Surrounded by rolling countryside, the setting is ideal for walking, whether it’s joining stretches of the South West Coast Path for dramatic sea views, enjoying scenic cliff‑top walks along the Jurassic Coast, or opting for gentler riverside ambles through the nearby valleys. With the coast just a short drive away, you can easily balance peaceful rural days with time by the sea. Sidmouth’s elegant seafront is perfect for a traditional day out, with its wide promenade, striking red cliffs and relaxed, unhurried atmosphere. Enjoy a stroll along the Esplanade, stop off at a café overlooking the beach, or explore the town’s independent shops and gardens. Close by, the Donkey Sanctuary is always a favourite, offering scenic walks and the chance to meet its gentle residents, while the nearby village of Beer provides a classic seaside experience. Here, you’ll find a sheltered pebble beach, working fishing boats landing their daily catch, and a selection of welcoming pubs and cafés tucked along its charming streets. A relaxed and characterful getaway, perfectly placed for enjoying the simple pleasures of both coast and countryside.

About the location
SIDMOUTH
Exeter 16 miles.
Sidmouth is an elegant seaside resort on the south Devon stretch of Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site of great natural beauty. Here is where the River Sid cuts through the Devon hills to meet the sea at Lyme Bay, creating a clean pebbly beach, giving way to golden sands at low tide backed by dramatic red cliffs creating a safe family beach with rockpools and safe bathing. Sidmouth is lined with stylish Regency cream-and-white architecture, creating an elegant Esplanade which makes for a relaxing stroll whilst looking out towards Beer Head. Sidmouth boasts one of the few public access observatories, the Norman Lockyer Observatory, complete with planetarium. There are a variety of attractions around Sidmouth including Pecorama with award-winning miniature railway and gardens, the Seaton tramway and the Otter Estuary Nature Reserve. Families will love the beaches, walkers will enjoy the South West coastal path and at the end of the day there are plenty of tea rooms, cafes and welcoming country inns to relax and refresh you.
