HARTA retreat is a unique glamping experience hidden away by Exmoor National Park and just a short drive from the breathtaking North Devonshire coastline. An escape from busy urban life, the retreat is the perfect place to relax, connect with nature and explore the peaceful surroundings. An ideal romantic break for couples, you’ll be staying in one of four luxurious tipis, overlooking the stunning views of the local landscape. The secluded site is surrounded by woodlands and meadows, with plenty of great walks through the country right on your doorstep. Each tipi has been expertly handcrafted by one of Europe’s leading tipi manufacturers. Developed for comfort and warmth, they feature two interlinked rooms and all the amenities needed for a memorable stay. Choose from the 'distinguished' collection - Dancing Deer and Sitting Bull - open all year round; or from the 'superior' collection - Crazy Bear and Moon Dance - available from March to October. All four tipis have distinctive interiors and offer different lovely views. With the Danish concept of Hygge in mind, the interiors have been beautifully designed with bespoke furniture, delightful decorations and ambient colour palettes to create a calm and serene experience. The first two tipis are Dancing Deer and Sitting Bull, which have a similar layout. The main room of each has a king-size bed, fitted with super soft linen and faces the porch so you can enjoy the views. A traditional, log burning stove keeps the room warm even on the coldest winter nights, whilst underfloor heating, powered by sustainable energy sources, will keep your feet toasty. There’s also a mini fridge and Nespresso machine to keep refreshed. A small hallway leads to the ensuite bathroom where you’ll find an elegant bathtub, toilet and washbasin, soft Pima cotton towels, as well as premium toiletries, and reed diffusers for a spa like experience. The outside fire pit is a great place to relax under the starry skies. Crazy Bear and Moon Dance both comprise of a beautiful design-led single room housed under a single skinned tipi frame (with exposed long poles). Both of these tipis have thickly-laid king size beds and beautiful natural textures. Rugs and crackling wood burners offer warmth and when the weather's warm you can roll back the canvas doors and let the breeze in. Or, why not lounge outside in your hammock with a good book listening to the sounds of nature all around you? Both Crazy Bear and Moon Dance have private walk-in bathrooms with hot drench showers, flushing toilets and wash basins, along with super-soft cotton towels. All four tipis sit in a quiet meadow alongside a tree-lined stream. It’s the perfect base to experience nature and discover the local area. Why not walk through the woods, see the local wildlife ponds and maybe even spot one of the native red deer? For keen tennis players there’s even a court located on site. Exmoor National Park is 20-minutes away, and offers an open expanse of moors, woods, farmlands and valleys, perfect for hiking and sightseeing. A historic castle and watermill are also located in the park, as well as Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff Railway and the Valley of Rocks, two popular tourist destinations. The North Devonshire coastline is also just a short drive away and boasts award winning sandy beaches and spectacular views. The thriving market town of Barnstaple is a 20-minute drive away and is full of independent shops, pubs and eateries, or you can visit one of the other charming local villages, all within driving distance.

    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.

  • Great Burrows Stable

    • 4
    • 2 nights min stay

    With effortless grace, Great Burrow Stable blends the deep, rich colours of a chic hotel with the peace of the Devon countryside. Inside, you’ll find plush red armchairs, ornate screens and hints of brass picked out by vintage lighting, while outside under the covered porch, nature is left to work her own magic. The dining table and chairs are where you’ll sit in the morning with a coffee, or finish the day with a glass of something while you debate who gets the swing or the bath first. Both are beautiful on a starry night, but equally atmospheric when the rain is drumming on the roof above. While the cabin has all the modern flourishes – fridge, TV, wifi – owners Mary and Justin, who left London in search of a different way of life, have created a space perfect for unhooking from the modern world and truly relaxing. You can hike straight from the door on woodland trails, hit the coast in half an hour, nip over to Dartmoor, or stroll through the woods to the local pub for dinner. If you prefer to cook, then pick up ingredients from Okehampton’s organic grocer, to add to the local milk and the eggs from the hens you’ll see wandering past the cabin. You’ll possibly spot Theo, a neighbour’s horse who lives in the field next door, while all around you the health of lightly tended land means deer, rabbits, owls and woodpeckers are all common sights. All you have to do is decide if you’ll be spotting from the deck recliner, the lounge chairs, the swing or the bath.
