Goldcrest is an inviting, hand-crafted shepherd’s hut nestled in woodland near Postbridge, Devon, set within woodland surroundings and offering an equisite outdoor patio area with uninterupted views out to Dartmoor to die for.

The owners have truly gone above and beyond, featuring bespoke screen-printed blinds and beautifully crafted tiles both by a local artist, complemented by thoughtfully handmade door catches throughout, they really have thought of everything.
A kingsize bed with handmade organic mattress is neatly positioned within the living area, creating a seamless flow between relaxation and sleeping space.

As the evenings draw in, settle down and enjoy the warmth and ambience provided by the miniature everhot electric stove.

What guests are saying
Goldcrest Hut is beautifully and tastefully furnished; it is clear that a lot of thought has gone into making the most of the space.
Despite its compact size, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It is wonderfully cosy, warm and welcoming, a perfect little retreat after a day exploring Dartmoor. The hosts were exceptionally kind and thoughtful. They made sure I had all the information I needed for my arrival after dark and even checked on me during the storm and high winds, which I really appreciated. The location is fantastic, too, with Bellever Forest practically on the doorstep and Postbridge just round the corner. A truly lovely place to stay, and one I would happily return to!
The accommodaton was lovely, the interior beautifully finished, very comfortable and warm.
The location couldn't have been better, no other buildings visible, just sheep and typical Dartmoor moorland but snuggled in the trees! We would definitely recommend.
It's a really lovely spot, right in the middle of the moor landscape, tranquil with great views and some nice walks on your doorstep.
The interior of the hut is well designed and nicely crafted, well-insulated and warm.
