The rural setting in the Blackdown Hills AONB allows you to fully relax and switch off from the world, whether you spend your sunny days in the hammock, or BBQing under the deck to shelter from the British rain. Don't miss toasting marshmallows on the campfire and telling spooky ghost stories, all the while feeling like you've gotten back to nature.

Such a great find for a stop over on our way to Cornwall. I'm not a fan of tents so the cabin was a great way for us to experience camping off grid without the faff! The kids loved it, especially the hammock! The wood burner was easy to use and the facilities were lovely and clean. We were able to contact the owners anytime and they were super quick in getting back to us. Will definitely be staying again.

Lovely rural peaceful place just what we needed but the bed was very lumpy so didn’t get much sleep that was the only fault, enjoyed our stay 😁 Mr Mrs Tyler Norfolk

If you want a rustic stay this is for you. The yurt was comfortable, log burner easy to use and the toilet/shower clean and just right. Fire pit nice too. However, no electricity means no fridge, which caught me out. Also, although it sleeps up to 5 with a double and single futon, they only provide bedding for the double bed which I think is a bit of a shame considering the price. Also, kitchen and toilet is across the field, which is fine for a rustic stay but I think because of these two things, it's overpriced. Otherwise, a cosy place to stay.
