Welcome to the hut.
The Hut at Lower Birch Farmhouse is our joyful, wriggly-tin clad Shepherd’s Hut.
home comforts…
The Hut offers a cosy, open plan living space, comprising a king sized bed, ensuite shower room, and a kitchen with twin electric hob and a small 17 ltr fridge. In the kitchen cupboards you will find many of the pots, pans and utensils you'd expect to find in your own home so you can cook up a storm. There is a log burner for heat, fold up table with stools for 2, real life houseplants and gorgeous reclaimed timber floors throughout. On the shelf above the bed you will find a selection of books including local guides to walks/cycle routes/pubs etc, alongside a pair of binoculars for a spot of twitching and Buckaroo for your own amusement!
The bathroom features a monsoon shower and a cosy, heated, electric towel rail, along with eco friendly hand wash and shower gel so you can travel light!
In the bedroom area you will find a king sized bed complete with hypnos mattress and soft crinkled flax linen sheets for a super comfy and restful nights sleep.
take a bath & soak up a sunset…
Outside there is a fire pit complete with BBQ grill for heat and cooking. You will also find a pair of Adirondack chairs for a spot of alfresco dining or glugging back a glass of wine while you watch the sun go down. If bathing is your thing, hop in to the pink roll top bath, situated outside in a little nook, an ideal spot to while away an evening enjoying all that the Devon dark skies have to offer, including bats, owls and more stars than you could hope to imagine. Perfect for all you stargazers out there!
You are welcome to take a wander through the field, down to the stream, where you will likely spot a buzzard or two and you might even catch sight of the herd of deer that we share the valley with. Magical!
some treats for you…
As your host, we will provide a homemade loaf on arrival and a box of eggs from our lovely friendly free range chickens. There will be milk in the fridge and a bottle of wine on the table. In the kitchen you will find tea, coffee, sugar, olive oil, vinegar, salt & pepper, and a few other store cupboard essentials to get you started. We also provide hand soap in the kitchen, washing up liquid and eco friendly cleaning products for your stay.
