This unique handcrafted wood house, known as a Truffle, is one of five, spaced out across 15 acres of oak woodland that’s home to a variety of flora and fauna including wild orchids, a young family of deer, buzzards and woodpeckers. As well as an inviting wood burning stove inside, there’s a sheltered outside cooking area with a nifty Aquaforno cooking system that includes a bbq and pizza oven, and a single gas hob so you can make a speedy cup of coffee to get you going in the morning. A short walk through the sun-dappled woodland is the shower block; you’re assigned your own bathroom for your stay so you can leave personal items inside.

Lie indoors in your hammock listening to the rain bounce off the Truffle with the door open – nothing smells better than the woodland in the rain – or snuggle next to your wood-burner or around your firepit if it’s chilly. In fine weather, gently swing on the outside hammock; at night you can gaze at the stars through the tree canopy above. A quarter of the site has been returned to nature, and you’ll find ancient hedge banks, a gentle stream and rope swings hanging from trees waiting to be discovered. Although you’re surrounded by a 300-acre sheep farm, Hatherleigh town centre is a short walk away and has two lovely pubs as well as a supermarket, cafe and local farm shop. North Cornwall’s beaches are half an hour away and you’re only a ten-minute drive from the edge of Dartmoor.

  • Cidermakers Cabin

    • 2 nights min low season 3 nights high & Weekends

    Perched on a green and wooded hill in some marvellous rolling Devon countryside, Cidermaker's Cabin is an exquisitely designed and built shepherd's hut available as a self-catering space for couples and individual travellers looking to spend time in nature. Newly built and brimming with elegant features, local art and first-class amenities, Cidermaker's Cabin is the ultimate getaway for anybody who wants to immerse themselves in nature without compromising on luxury and comfort. The cabin itself is deceptively spacious inside, making good use of smart design, large windows and natural wood finishes to create a comfortable space which two people can easily coexist in. The cabin occupies a small footprint, but happily contains everything that a resourceful couple could need for a restorative time away. There is a full kitchen, with a two-burner hob, oven/microwave and even a butler's sink, as well as ample preparation space, perfect for cooking up everything from a slap-up breakfast before you hit the footpaths to a romantic evening meal to be enjoyed with a glass of cider on the deck outside. Off the main space, you'll find a built-in king sized bed, occupying the entire width of the cabin, and benefitting from the same high vaulted ceiling which characterises the space. The bathroom is contemporary, with a high-pressure rain shower heated by an external boiler. Throughout the interior, beaded lumber, neutral tones and subtle, whitewashed finishes come together to create an elegant and subtle space. When it rains, snuggle up inside with a good book and a cup of tea, and when the sun shines, head out in the surrounding region with a picnic, taking in the Exmoor light, warmth and unique flora. Typically guests at Cidermaker's Cabin spend their time hiking in nature, before returning home to sit out on the timber porch with a glass of locally made cider before cooking a meal together using seasonal ingredients. For anyone who loves nature and being outside, the area is dreamy in all four seasons, and there really is nothing like coming home to your own cosy space for a hot shower, a cold drink, and another evening with only the sounds of the wind in the trees as you drift off to sleep. While the cabin is secluded, the nearby village of Meshaw is a quaint and historic settlement, and is ideal for enjoying a pint of local cider in a charming pub, picking up local meat, vegetables, bread and cheeses, and taking in some history and culture. The beaches and coast are within easy reach, and there are dozens of footpaths, cycle trails and hikes nearby.
