Two Shepherds huts in the Exmoor National Park 

The perfect getaway experience

Little Brown Hut

Little Green Hut

We created the hut@dogsworthy so visitors can enjoy the amazing views of the Exmoor coastline in real comfort whilst still feeling totally connected to nature. Both of our shepherds huts offer a private, fully equipped, home from home experience nestled in the countryside.

The Little Brown hut and the Little Green hut both have spectacular sea views from high on Exmoor! These sea views have been described by some as the best on the moor.  The huts are situated on the outskirts of Lynton and Lynmouth on the North Coast of Devon.  Lynton and Lynmouth is known nationally as 'little Switzerland' and from the hut you can see Wales. We're also just a few minutes from the famous South West Coastal path.

The huts were both handcrafted by Danny (the owner) who built everything himself from the wheels to the curtain ties.  The huts have been insulated with environmentally friendly sheep's wool and are of a traditional design. The ingeniously designed spaces feature a very comfortable double bed (4ft wide), en-suite shower room with a flushing loo, heating, oven, hob, fridge, TV, kettle, hot and cold water, and an outdoor picnic table.

Your stay on the Exmoor coast is truly a getaway experience and therefore you may be lucky enough to have reduced mobile phone coverage and fewer interruptions to really enjoy your down-time. Both huts have free allocated parking available about 50 metres away.

A little history 

Shepherds huts trace back to 1596, they were a familiar site on the downlands of Southern England.  The most famous shepherd hut was described by Thomas Hardy the Dorset novelist in the famous book Far from the Madding Crowd.  Originally Shepherd Huts were used to provided shelter from Britain's unpredictable weather for farmers during lambing season.  Shepherd huts were traditionally made by local blacksmiths.  By the 1950's many huts had been pushed into corners of a field as many farms had built large sheds near there farms for lambing.  In recent years the popularity of Shepherd huts has increased once again, with many people seeking luxury staycations.
