The Details

Situated in a peaceful valley in Exmoor National Park, this cosy shepherd’s hut offers couples a tranquil stay in a stunning location. With breathtaking views and a fabulous hot tub adding a slice of luxury to your stay, Cartier’s Retreat is the perfect place to relax and unwind in style.

As you arrive, you’ll fall in love with the surrounding scenery, with beautiful forests and a gorgeous valley sprawling out around you. Exmoor is also home to some fabulous wildlife that you may spot during your stay, including local deer, foxes and buzzards.

When you step inside the shepherd’s hut, you’ll love the charming, rustic interior. Fire up the wood-burner on cooler days and stay cosy as you prepare a tasty meal in the quaint kitchenette, which features oak worktops, a Belfast sink, an electric oven, a fridge and a microwave. Underfloor heating throughout also keeps your feet warm on cold days, so you can rest assured knowing you’ll be toasty whatever the weather outside.

However, on warmer days, spend your time outside in the summer sunshine in your private garden. Here, you’ll find the wood-fired hot tub for two, as well as a quaint alfresco dining table and a firepit for evenings spent stargazing with a drink in hand.

Back inside, the hut has an ensuite shower room with a heated towel rail and a flushing loo. And, when eyes grow weary, you can head to the super-comfy king size bed at the end of the hut, which guarantees a peaceful night’s sleep for you and your loved one.

Enjoy direct access to scenic footpaths straight from the farm, perfect for leisurely strolls or longer hikes. Just a short distance away, Dunster Deer Park offers a wide variety of walking routes, while the breathtaking landscapes of Exmoor National Park are right on your doorstep, waiting to be explored.

The coast at Dunster is approximately two-and-a-half miles from the hut, and the seaside town of Minehead is just four miles away. From Minehead, you can join the famous South West Coast Path, featured in The Salt Path film, and begin your own adventure along this iconic trail.

The historic village of Dunster is under two miles away and offers a charming mix of restaurants, pubs, cafés and independent shops. You'll also find fascinating historical sites including the impressive Dunster Castle (National Trust) and many other heritage landmarks.
