This delightfully secluded location is truly away from it all. Surrounded by trees and a little stream. Totally in the heart of rural Devon in a pocket of green amongst the swell and rolling hills.
There is a hot tub that can be added to your booking if desired, which is £85 for 3 days. Please let us know.
The space
This small and beautifully decorated space is well equipped and functional, as well as having a polished rustic atmosphere that invites inspiration, creativity and peace...
Stunning country side and location surrounded by a traditional Devonian farm.
There is a wood fired hot tub that can be added to your booking please message me to let me know in advance as the tub will need treating with chlorine and amount of time wanted as it’s an additional £85 for 3 days.
The hut is off grid, so you will have a taste of what living simply and close to nature is like (sometimes there’s not enough sun so I need to warn guests that electricity is limited and can be inconsistent due to environmental factors, so please don’t bring high-power consuming items such as hairdryers), but still enjoy having the luxury and comfort of light and plugs to charge phones, cooker and hot water my hut has to offer.
Please go out side to the cupboard at the back of the hut to follow instruction on how to turn on the power and more importantly off again once you leave (please mind the terminals on the battery and avoid making any contact with them).
Hopefully you'll be inspired and go away with an experience of living off-grid, and a greater appreciation for nature, and what we often take for granted in this modern and busy world.
The woodwork is beautiful and the whole dwelling is uniquely crafted using mostly natural paints and materials so as to minimise anything harmful to both the environment and the people living in it.
Similarly the washing and cleaning is done with non toxic environmentally friendly products.
The water is not mains water but is the farms own naturally sourced spring water (pressure and consistency can be unpredictable), it is drunk by the family on the farm, however it is not possible to test water constantly so for this reason I must say drink at your own risk.
Family’s wanting to stay with kids. Parents will need to take responsibility for there children. There are animals on the farm and areas with machinery or unusual terrine there is also a lake near by and stream.
Dogs should be kept on leads and any mess safely disposed of.
But guests will have the benefit of having the entire area to themselves with little if any interruption. There are sometimes people traveling along the bridal way at the top of the rise. If it is a quad outing this can be noisy but often short lived. People do ride along the track on horse back also.
After September there may also be some pheasant shooting in the area, however this is kept to a minimum and will be away from the Glenn.
There may be snacks and general food items in the cupboard that your welcome to help yourself to. Some times with fresh herbs potted herbs outside.
The acsess is a little tricky the track is pretty bumpy for any normal cars we are happy to drop you to the hut with the farms trusty 4X4, just let us know if you would like this. Other wise guests are advised to leave the car in the farm yard and walk to the hut which is about a 6 minute walk. Alternatively if it’s dry enough guests are permitted to drive right across the relatively flat feild leading to the Glenn.
If you want any fresh local produce, I can suggest ‘Ben’s farm shop’ at Staverton around 4.5 miles away.
