“This place was everything we wanted and more!”

I’m already thinking about booking it for next year. It’s an amazing place.

“Wow what an amazing little find.”

We spent our 10 year Anniversary here and it was superb. From the arrival in the golf buggy to the welcome basket everything is thought of for you. So clean and tidy and wonderful views of the devon countryside. The hot tub was an added bonus being able to sit there with a glass of wine and watch the view. We are already planning our return visit.

- Mrs Starkey, October 2019
“Having just spent an idyllic week in Little Silver Fox, we really didn’t want to leave.”

The views from this fabulous shepherds hut are the best I have ever seen and sitting in the private hot tub, looking over the valley was simply perfect. From start to finish, this was the most relaxing holiday, with all of the best quality amenities you could possibly fit into a perfect little package, right down to underfloor heating and a log burner! Lisa and Peter are very accommodating hosts and have thought of everything; even a private golf buggy to drive backwards and forwards to your car. A brilliant base for enjoying all of North Devon, if you can manage to tear yourself away from this peaceful haven.

- Mrs Presland, September 2019
“Lovely hosts, amazing scenery, fantastic accommodation, wonderful private hot tub, superb ‘welcome basket’ that included wine, biscuits, crisps, scones, honey, eggs, apple juice, coffee, tea etc.”

The use of a golf buggy to get you to and from your hut. I could go on and on. We can’t wait to return. It definitely exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much

- Mrs Richardson, September 2019
“We only stayed at the little silver fox for just 3 nights and truly wished we had booked more.”

The Little Silver Fox is a little gem, a slice of paradise in an idyllic setting. The hosts Lisa and Peter have thought of everything you could possibly need to make your stay a perfect one. The shepherds hut has been fitted to a very high standard with quality products, the photos online give an excellent view of what to expect and the addition of the welcome pack which contains food and drink to get you started and providing those extra little touches such as salt, pepper and oil and washing up liquid, means you don't have to remember to bring these along with you. The setting is perfect, situated in an orchard, with birds, bees and butterflies for company and views across the valley in near peace and quiet were exactly what we were expecting and needed. Having a golf buggy to use to and from the small car park is a very clever idea and a lot of fun. The real bonus here is the hot tub and we loved it. The hosts provide gorgeous fluffy robes which is a luxurious touch and ideal to wear to and from the hot tub. We spent every evening enjoying a glass of fizz and as there is hardly any light pollution here and keeping all external lighting off we were able to watch the amazing night sky and spotted several shooting stars while listening to the owls hooting. I would highly recommend this little gem to anyone looking for some peace and quiet while enjoying a little touch of luxury.

“Had the best time ever at this beautiful little shephards hut in a stunning location with amazing views.”

All amenities are provided other than usual self care items such as shower gel etc. A little welcome basket containing coffee, tea, sugar, eggs, home made cookies, crisps and apple juice was provided and there was milk and butter in the fridge. The only issue we had was with the hot water and a quick email to Peter fixed that. The only suggestion I have for improvement would be to add a little fan to the property and also a mirror in the main area as having to use one mirror in the bathroom is a little difficult if someone else is using the bathroom at the time. The hot tub was absolutely amazing and the temperature and controls easy to navigate. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again as the owners are wonderful and very helpful too. All friends were commenting on the photos and beautiful and romantic it looked which it was!

- Miss Mudhar, August 2019
“From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome.”

We were shown to our accomodation but then left on our own which was nice. There was a couple of gardeners around who were incredibly friendly. The condition of the hut is perfect, very clean with a the essentials. We want on a nice local walk on one day to a local village up over the hills. A very relaxing peaceful holiday,we are likely to return

- Mr Stephens, July 2019
“What a lovely little find!”

Everything was perfect!! We received a lovely greeting from Peter, the welcome basket was divine with everything we needed to enjoy our first evening and breakfast. What a place, what a view, it was super relaxing. We spent a wonderful day discovering the area and tried a few pubs out on recommendation, returning to the hut to relax in the hot tub and watch the sun go down was priceless! Wonderful hosts, gorgeous setting, super clean and safe.. I would highly recommend. We will certainly be back! Thank you again Peter and Lisa!

- Miss Farrier, July 2019
“The host peter&Lisa bent over backwards to make our holiday.”

Bill the father was brilliant as well. This place is heaven. Would recommend this place to everyone. Peace and tranquillity. Outstanding scenery. Thankyou .

- Mr Smith, June 2019
“It was a complete chill out for us, away from every day life.”

The huts are beautiful and contain everything you need. The surroundings are tranquil and stunning, relax in the hot tub and enjoy.
