Salcombe Shepherd Huts  - Dog Friendly Shepherd Huts in Kingsbridge, Devon

Salcombe Shepherd huts are based at Ilton farm, which is a working family farm and campsite. It is situated in the depths of the South Hams, South Devon, within a mile and a half of the sailing mecca that is Salcombe, and 5 miles of the market town of Kingsbridge. The 100 acre farm is nestled within rolling hills in an area of outstanding natural beauty surrounding the Salcombe estuary. We have spent the last 50 years creating a relaxed, peaceful and tranquil three acre campsite. The campsite itself is sheltered by traditional Devon hedge banks and yet boasts formidable views across the estuary and surrounding countryside.

Standard Huts
Our first two huts are made by a guy called Ben. He is a true craftsman, which is reflected in the beauty and the quality of our huts. They are all built from wood sourced from sustainable Devon trees and have a very low carbon footprint. It was important to us that our huts would be eco-friendly and that we were able to support a local business.

The huts feature solid wooden exposed beams, beautiful wooden windows, and a handcrafted mezzanine full double bed with a bespoke solid wooden staircase. This creates so much extra floor space and really changes and upgrades the whole shepherd hut experience, also removing the hassle of making your bed each night too.

Luxury Huts
Our two luxury huts have all the same features our Standard Huts, but with a few added extra’s! These huts have been built by a brilliant company called Ashwood Shepherd Huts and are superbly crafted and designed. They have been designed with Families and slightly older clientele in mind. The reason behind the change was to provide 2 separate bunk beds so the kids can go up the stairs to bed and be separate from each other to provide a peaceful area for both to fall asleep. This also leaves the bigger King-size bed (at floor level) for the adults to retire to at a later time. They are also underfloor heated to that if you set the thermostat they will just maintain their temperature throughout your stay- with no lighting or the log burner unless you wish to’ cosy up’ by the fire!

Camping
The site provides 36 hook ups (16/10 amp) with level pitches and space for up to approximately 35 tents with facilities including toilets, showers with hot and cold water.

Location
There a numerous beautiful and varied local beaches to explore; ranging from little sunny coves to the massive Bantham / Bigbury beach that is a haven for those who love water sports.

Enjoy a bracing South West Coastal path walk, go crabbing, fishing, surfing or sailing! There are plenty of activities for all ages, in all weathers, and for all interests from coasteering, to crafting, to shopping.

Our campsite has easy access to the local bus route and the Salcombe park and ride for a car free, and eco-friendly holiday. Being just under 2 miles from the nearest beach, (which is dog and child friendly all year round) and within walking distance of Salcombe, alleviates all the stress of Salcombe parking!
