"Absolutely beautiful place to spend a weekend, the owners were extremely helpful, the accommodation was perfect and we were lovely and cosy in very cold weather."
The welcome hamper was delightful especially the homemade bread and apple juice. It was amazing to sit in the hot tub with snow following around us and then relax with a lovely glass of wine, also from the hamper in front of the wood burner. The bed was very comfortable and we both slept well, the hosts have thought of everything to make your stay perfect. We loved the little golf buggy to drive to and from the car park.

"We could not be happier with our 3 night stay in the little silver pheasant, we felt we could relax from the minute we arrived."
The pre arrival information was really helpful and the property was easy to find, the golf buggies made the stay even more fun and the arrival package was really thoughtful, the property was immaculate and had everything we needed. The hot tub was always ready and very private and luxurious. We cooked a few meals during the stay and the property was well equipped. The bed was really comfy with amazing views all around and very quiet. We would love to return again soon.

"Peter was very friendly."
Helpful and the knowledge he would be available at anytime was good. Golf buggy fun touch and useful too. Shepherd hut was amazing and well equipped. Welcome gift was a nice touch, freshly baked bread and their own apple juice the orchard. Hot tub clean and positioned right next to the hut so felt completely on your own and very private. Brilliant get away and will definitely be returning.
Thank you for your kind words. You're in an orchard so, yes, that's our apple juice!! Property Owner

"Peter & Lisa are fabulous hosts, email sent with information beforehand, welcomed us on arrival."
App had all information from arrival to departure, How to work all equipment from Golf buggy, hot tub, coffee machine, stove. Brilliant! The views were fabulous and loved the privacy, off the hot tub, that was fantastic! Relaxing! Holiday and. Brilliant recommendations from pubs/tourist attractions/walks/Beeches, sorry to leave, Enjoyed! It all, The huts are amazing! Welcome basket was fantastic! The hosts just keep going above and beyond expectations, Comfy and everything in them you need for a short stay away, beautifully done.
Aww, can you see us blushing from here! Thank you so much for your kind works. We are glad you liked the new guidebook, we think it works really well for guests to be able to have all the information at their finger tips. We are super lucky to be surrounded by some great pubs, beaches etc. We have the best of both worlds by being situated in the countryside, but with some fabulous beaches a short drive away. Hopefully you will come back and visit us again one day Property Owner

"Wow! This is a little bit of paradise!"
Such a beautiful shepherd’s hut in a wonderful location. Everything was perfect from the welcome hamper to the superb hot tub and the fun golf buggy! We experienced every sort of weather but it made the holiday even more special, especially when it snowed! With the wood burner lit it was so cosy, though the under floor heating was enough in itself. The perfect place for some rest and relaxation but close enough to get to a range of amenities and coastal towns. Thank you Peter and Lisa for a wonderful stay!
Aww, we think it’s paradise, and it’s so lovely to hear that our guests feel the same way! The orchard and huts truly feel like something magical when we are lucky enough to have snow, and it’s really lovely to be warm and cosy in the hut while enjoying the spectacle from the window. Property Owner

"We have had a truly fantastic, really comfortable and relaxing break in Little Silver Pheasant."
Every single need was catered for and every inch of the accommodation had been used to maximise its storage etc. The underfloor heating provided great heat and we didn’t need to use the log burner. We had one night of torrential rain but the roof is so well insulated, we couldn’t hear it much at all. Hot tub was lovely and warm and immaculately clean. We would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone wishing to stay locally.
Thank you for your lovely comments. North Devon is lovely and warm but rain does sometimes happen (!) so it's good to confirm the huts are cosy and the hot tub is both hot and clean :). We find some guests just slide down further underwater if a cloud passes overhead. Property Owner

"Lovely, well equipped hut."
Underfloor heating keeps it really warm, didn't need to light the wood burner one during our stay. Hot tub really spacious for two and private, however privacy is at the expense of the lovely view which is hidden behind the the laurel hedge when you are in the tub. If you want the view then book one of the other huts, they all look lovely, but for privacy book Little Silver Pheasant.
Hello, that you for your kind works and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We try to offer maximum privacy to each hut and use bushes for screening. With Little Silver Pheasant it can sometimes be a balancing act with the bushes to keep them cut at just the right height so that they offer maximum screening for privacy, but still give a view. It’s always quite difficult in the winter months as we are restricted with not being able to trim them back in the cold weather. Property Owner

"The hut was beautiful and had everything we needed and very cosy and warm."
Wish the weather had been colder to allow us to have the log burner on. The hot tub was perfect and so warm. The bed was super comfortable. The views from the big are amazing.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Property Owner

"This is a superb destination and we highly recommended."
We stayed for a week and loved every minute. The facilities are excellent with no shortcuts taken on the finishes - a real feather in the cap for the owners. Comfy bed, great shower, hot tub that we spent much time in and a superb little coffee machine. So much to see and do in the region as well. Do yourself a favour and book Little Silver Pheasant.
What a wonderful review. Thank you so much! We are always thrilled to hear that people have really enjoyed their stay with us and, enjoy the orchard (and huts) as much as we do Property Owner

Thank you Property Owner

"Such a gorgeous place to stay."
Facilities were outstanding. Hot tub well maintained. I never knew I needed a golf buggy on a holiday, but now I do. The accommodation is small, as expected in a shepherd’s hut, but due to being so well fitted, it was manageable. Views were so lovely. Quiet and relaxing, everything I wanted it to be.
So many people love the golf buggies. They are practical for carrying luggage, but also a little bit of fun to add to your holiday. Property Owner

"Absolutely loved our stay it was so peaceful just loved hearing the bird's ..."

"A great stay at The Little Silver Pheasant."
A lovely location with great views where yyou can while away the hours in the hot tub or snug in the hut. A really nice place to spend sometime doing nothing. Pleanty to do in the area but great to do nothing.

"We had the most amazing 4 night stay."
Everything was perfect, from the welcome basket, to the golf buggy and the hot tub! We had such a relaxing time from the moment we got there. The hosts were so welcoming even when we arrived very late in the evening, and they left us to it to relax, but we’re always on hand if we needed anything. The accommodation was perfect, beds really comfy, lovely hot shower and towels/ robes provided. The kitchen area had everything you needed, also a Nespresso coffee machine! We had such a lovely stay & would highly recommend.

"Our stay at little silver pheasant was perfect for our mini-moon."
Secluded and private with every thing thought out to a tee. The welcome pack was wonderful. Although the weather was cold the hut was cosy and at times too hot after we lit the log burner
-

The owners have worked hard to think of everything to make our stay the very best. The welcome pack was fantastic and the information in the folder spot on, particularly when it came to eating out. The bed was lovely and comfy too.

"We had an incredible time in Silver Pheasant."
It was spotlessly clean, had everything we needed for our stay and the owners left us a very generous and welcome hamper.

"What a relaxing stay!"
We arrived about as stressed as we could be and left feeling fully serene. Loved the golf buggies to get around, that was a lot of fun. The shepherds hut had everything anyone could want, seriously the hosts thought of everything! Including a lovely welcome basket including eggs from their own chickens, lovely touch! The hot tub was the icing on the cake and we just wanted to spend all of our time in there. Thank you very much to the hosts, we couldn't have asked for a better couple of days away!
-
"Loved our stay here, from the lovely double Shepard's hut to everything that went with it … the lovely gift basket lots of lovely treats, wine, bread, honey, biscuits to enjoy with a brew to name but a few items that was in there."
To the lovely decor, the views from the hot tub… and the golf buggy to get you to and from the car park… oh what fun. Will definitely recommend this lovely place.

"A perfect retreat with everything you'll need to make your stay feel very relaxed and tranquil."
The cabin was very well equipped, and had all the little details covered. Great use of space, making it very cosy. The hot-tub was wonderful to bubble away in, with beautiful surroundings to view. The cleanliness was immaculate and can't fault the owners for what they have provided. Will certainly be back, as time just seemed to go fast forward in a flash. Left relaxed taking some lovely memories. Thank you again for the stay, and looking forward to booking again.

"Loved our stay - Peter and Lucy were great, nothing was a problem."
Being able to charge the car was brilliant and the golf buggy a great and fun idea, but helpful as the slope is quite steep leaving the huts. The homemade honey, bread and other welcome gifts were really thoughtful. Thanks to Peter and Lucy we will visit again.
-
"We absolutely loved the Little Silver Pheasant."
It was beautifully designed, clean, cosy and exactly as described. It has everything you could possibly need. One things is that the 2 local pubs in the have both unfortunately closed down so the literature just needs updating, however there was a really lovely pub just 10 minutes drive away in Chittlehampton. *****
-
"We had such an amazing stay in the little silver pheasant, it was quiet and so lovely to relax in the hot tub under the stars."
Then come into the warm hut with the wood burner on, we don’t won’t to leave, but we will definitely be returning. Thank you Peter for an amazing stay :)

"Lovely little shepherds hut."
Exactly as promised. The owner was lovely and more than helpful! Definitely will be returning!

"We had a lovely 3 night stay in little Silver Pheasant."
A lot of love and thought has gone into making it a truly wonderful place to stay. Stunning location, views from the hot tub were great, and what a way to relax after a day out walking. We too enjoyed using the golf buggy to get to and from our Shepherds hut. Thank you to Peter and Lisa and their team for all your hard work. The shepherds hut , hot tub and surrounding area was immaculate. We will definitely recommend a stay here, peaceful and relaxing and very private.

"On arrival at the electric gate entrance it I was clear everything was organised to a first class standard."
Such a relaxing place with the assurance should you need the owners attention they would be there quickly. Golf buggy was fun and hot tub great. The welcome basket was the best we have received.
-
"The owners have thought of everything."
As expected space is minimal but with clever storage solutions eg under bed drawers etc, it wasn't a problem. The surroundings are stunning and having the golf buggy was a fun and useful addition. We will definitely book again.
