The Devon Den

£190.00 per night

After four, happy years of welcoming lovely guests, the old Den is being replaced with this wonderful space. Everything at The Devon Den has been designed to encourage guests to immerse themselves in nature. The open-plan cabin’s unique shape, hand-crafted by Jo and Ben, lets you breeze in and out to the woods, wander to the crackling fire pit and dip your toes in the stream, take a dip in the wood fired hot tub, or just enjoy the rocking chair on the veranda, all while surrounded by the sounds of wildlife. A genuine love of, and commitment to, the environment runs through every choice, from the sustainable materials used to make the cabin, to the top end solar power system, a dry toilet and even the little ladders in the pond for frogs and newts. In the Den there are games, jigsaws and a library including recipe books full of tips for getting the most out of the BBQ and superb local produce. On booking, you will be sent a digital guidebook which works offline, with all the info you need to get the most from your stay - maps to guide you along the nearby lanes and footpaths, details of secret Dartmoor swimming spots, tips on the best pasty shop. You can nip out to the glorious beaches at Bude, just forty minutes away, or take the Granite Way cycle path from Okehampton along the old railway lines. Your hosts are knowledgeable and passionate eco builders who could give you a crash course on every aspect of sustainable living, but even if you simply linger here for a few days, you’ll come away with a renewed appreciation for the peace and beauty of nature.
