The Nutshell

£121.00 per person

Nestled on an outcrop among the treetops, with views over the town below, is Nutshell. With its own little kitchen, shower room, bedroom and dramatic balcony, it is totally self-sufficient - everything in a nutshell! The rugged Moorland landscape, with high peaks (tors), rivers and wide-open spaces of Dartmoor are just ten minutes’ walk from the front door, while Okehampton centre is just eight, the perfect balance between seclusion and convenience and a great place to snuggle, whatever the weather. Positioned with the best views in the garden is the hot tub, ready for use 24hrs a day, either for relaxing in the dappled sunlight through the tree canopy by day or star-gazing at night. You’re also able to book a masseuse to visit, for an incredibly relaxing afternoon!

An eight-minute walk along a tree-lined path down through the park takes you into Okehampton, known as the "Gateway to Dartmoor". It has excellent farm shops, pubs, restaurants, a castle, the Museum of Dartmoor Life and a cinema. The very best local walks are on your doorstep, from country lanes to woodland, meadows and riverside rambles. Bring your own bikes to journey along the impressive Granite Way cycle path two minutes away, which is also perfect for jogging. Go horse riding on the moor or visit Roadford Lake, 20 minutes away, popular for water sports, fishing, paddle boarding and kayaking, as well as sailing. The train station, just three minutes away, gives you access to the whole of Devon, catch a bus to Bude and all north and south cost beaches. Garden lovers can make a bee line for RHS Rosemoor or the Eden Project, or just stay put and enjoy the ancient gardens that surround you in Nutshell.
