Two handcrafted shepherd huts in a very private, tranquil location on Bodmin Moor. The huts are off grid and have a low environmental impact. We're 3.5 miles away from the picturesque village of St Neot and 8 miles away from the historic market town of Liskeard. The North and South coasts are easily accessible offering some of the best surfing, swimming and cliff walks. The huts are cosy and homely with logburner and comfortable bed! The spring fed hot/cold shower is next to a compost loo The space It’s not often you get to live in the heart of a Site of Special Scientific Interest, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or a Dark Sky Reserve, but Diddylake is in the middle of all three. The two huts set by Diddylake house (the ruin) on the rolling moors feel a world away from just about anything. One hut is your bedroom, with wood-burning stove and thick blankets keeping it cosy in any weather, and the other is your kitchen with hobs and a dining table and the BBQ and fire pit just outside. The shower and compost loo are in their own wooden hut down by the old house. The whole site has been done out by Jackson with recycled finds and local timber, giving the spaces a soft woody smell and a homely feel. There might be a chilly stroll to the loo or a dash between the huts here and there, but it all gives you a sense of living in a different age and in real wilderness. Jacksons home is a few hundred metres away, and doesn’t intrude on you at all, but it’s still close enough that you can wander up for assistance or to visit the livestock. The rest of your time you have the whole of Bodmin Moor on your doorstep and the coast within easy reach. Split your days between rambling in the hills, trips to surfing beaches or the marked hiking trails round nearby Colliford Lake. Even lounging at the huts you’ll not want for wildlife encounters. There's lots of wildlife to observe, birds include buzzards, duck, swallows, skylarks and cuckoos just to mention a few. Listen carefully and you could hear a red kite. Deer and fox are frequent visitors and keep an eye open for butterflies, dragonflies, newts and frogs. Keep your camera to hand! At night, the seclusion is brought home by spectacular starry skies. Guest access Guests are welcome to make use of the field and area by the huts. The marshy area to the right of the track leading down to the huts is best avoided after rain. It can get quite boggy and is fenced off. Other things to note Extra guests are welcome to stay there is plenty of room for tents or camper vans. Please bring your own tents and bedding. There will be a few logs supplied to get you going. More can be bought. The shepherd huts are powered by a 12 volt solar system for lighting and phone charging. The kitchen Shepherd hut has a four ring gas hob for cooking. pots, pans, cooking utensils, crockery & cutlery are also provided. There are lots of information leaflets for local attractions, activities and events, Carnglaze caverns, Siblyback lake, Caradon Heritage Mining trail to mention just a few. ## Property amenities ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Outdoor areas - Firepit ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 4 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Motor boating nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Lounge](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/12000000/11550000/11547600/11547503/e53a9f1b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Poole Farm Launceston - Breakfast included - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Laundry room 10 Exceptional 40 reviews £132 includes taxes & fees 21 Mar - 22 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-21&endDate=2026-03-22&selected=11547503&PinnedHotelID=11547503&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Double Room (Room 1) | Soundproofing](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103670000/103664900/103664855/5dc3f148.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Chandlers Lodge B&B Camelford - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Restaurant - Soundproof rooms 10 Exceptional 18 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=103664855&PinnedHotelID=103664855&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96410000/96402200/96402116/7e51a34e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### St. Kew Shepherd Huts Wadebridge - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Kitchen 9.8 Exceptional 19 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=96402116&PinnedHotelID=96402116&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=89479246&PinnedHotelID=89479246&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=89479246,11547503,103664855,96402116) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs only 4 total pets ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.
