Description of Just Us Retreats
We launched on 28th April 2016 and we pride ourselves on being a small, family-run venture, consisting of one Shepherd’s Hut, ‘Bathsheba’ in a private 4 acre field and one 6-metre Bell Tent ‘Gabriel’ in a small oak woodland.
We invite you to escape from your busy life and hectic daily schedule by retreating to the comfort of our secluded farm in the heart of the Mid Devon countryside.
You will enjoy privacy and seclusion as you will have sole access to ‘Tom Clarke’s Hayfield’ where the Shepherd’s Hut is situated or ‘Nine Acres’ field and woodland where the Bell Tent is situated.
Both are perfect for romantic glamping retreats and the Bell Tent can accommodate six people, so is ideal for that family adventure.
A Devon Cream Tea will be ready for your arrival, with our compliments, allowing you the opportunity to relax after your journey while enjoying the delights of a homemade scone with lashings of cream and jam, washed down with a nice cup of tea.
Later, you may wish to choose a delicious homemade dish from the Farmer’s Wife’s Kitchen Menu and spend time sitting in front of the fire pit, listening to the birdsong, sipping your favourite tipple.
Or perhaps you are feeling more energetic and fancy a game of tennis? Decisions, decisions….we aim to make your stay as enjoyable and memorable as possible.
The Shepherd’s Hut sleeps two people. There is a standard sized double bed which is perfect for spooning if you’re over 6ft tall!
The Bell Tent sleeps up to six people. There is a standard sized double bed and two double sofa futons, ideal for family fun!
Beautiful bed linen and luxurious bath sheets and hand towels are provided, as are soft blankets and an extra duvet for extra comfort.
However, the little log burner is sure to keep you quite toasty!
