  We loved staying in the gorgeous Keets shepherd's hut at Middle Acre farm.

  It was the perfect balance of rustic nature with luxury! The hut is small but so perfectly laid out, every bit of space is used effectively and the lovely owners have provided absolutely everything you could possibly need. They were also super friendly and helpful, providing tips for us useless city dwellers on how to set up the wood burner and also giving very clear instructions for local walks. We didn't use the hot tub in the end but it looked absolutely gorgeous. We explored the local area a bit and the pebbly beach is lovely but most of our time was spent enjoying the hut, lying in the garden reading, toasting marshmallows on the firepit and cooking a feast on the BBQ. As the listing says there is no wifi which is all part of the fun 'off grid' experience but there is perfectly good mobile and 4G signal if needed. The hosts kindly provide all the essentials you need for cooking, plus fuel for the wood burner, BBQ, firepit and hot tub. There was very reliable hot water and a lovely fully functional bathroom with a great shower - we couldn't believe they fit all of that plus a lovely comfy double bed into such a small space! We'll be back as soon as we can.

  This was such a lovely shepherds hut, we really enjoyed our stay.

  We had a lovely welcome when we arrived, Michelle and Roger both gave us all the info we needed and were really helpful. The hut is incredibly well equipped, as well as having ample private outdoor space and set in lovely grounds. We were very lucky with the weather and were able to use the BBQ to cook in the evenings, but had we not been, the kitchen has a gas ring and plenty of pans that it wouldn't have been a problem to rustle up something easily. The fact that Keets is 'off grid' was great, no TV or wifi, so we could really switch off. The wood burner kept us toasty in the evening and the hot tub was a delight after a long day of walking along the SW Coast Path. Keets is really well situated for access to the coast path so you don't have to drive anywhere and only a short walk to the local pub. I'd definitely recommend staying. Amazing hosts and perfect accommodation, can't wait to plan another trip soon.

  We had such a wonderful week at Middle Acre!

  It was such a fantastic experience and we will definitely be looking to stay again in the near future! We absolutely loved everything about our stay from the quirky hut, to the log burning hot tub, to the sites nearby, it was just fabulous! We managed to visit a nearby site called Durdledoor whilst on our stay and was absolutely blown away - definitely a must see if you stay here or nearby! We finished our stay with the walk that was recommended by the hosts and again, it was just fantastic! Everything about our stay was brilliant and it provided us with the perfect opportunity to have a week away from the outside world. A massive thank you to both of the hosts for making us feel so special throughout our stay and for providing such a super experience! We will definitely be visiting again when we next get the chance!

  The Keets is a cute abode on a piece of land where the owner gardens organically, but doesn't live there.

  It looks very idyllic and you can use the whole garden to sit there. Even when it rains, you can sit in a greenhouse and drink your wine. The hospitable owner received us very kindly and can tell us a lot about walks in the beautiful surroundings. The living quarters are real camping and a bit spartan. ;-) The electricity is generated by two solar panels, but if the sun is not shining, you may have to take a cold shower. So use electricity sparingly! The bed sleeps fine. And the hot tub is fantastic. We used it a number of times, although it takes two and a half hours before the water is up to temperature! :-) In short, the stay is a bit primitive, but if you like that, you have an original and unique stay in The Keets of Middle Acre!

  No facilities open ie, shop, bars and restaurant was only open for a minimum time, a few hours during the day, lodge needed a good clean, some appliances need attention and updating.

  Bathrooms need a proper clean and general maintenance. Lighting and fridge in need of attention. Sofas were unkempt cushions had muck in the crevices and all cushion covers needs a good wash. Suggest putting a chopping board in the kitchen. Outside grass and hedges need a good cut and trim back, if we were going to have a barbecue we couldn’t have used the grass area as it was far too long. Some of the furniture up on the top decking was broken so couldn’t be used. Also all cushions need to be washed. Other than these small issues we all had a lovely time. We did think the lodge itself was spacious and homely in part. Thank you Stella Davies and Party
