At the hotel
At each cabin: outdoor bath tub, fire pit, deckchairs, picnic table, wood-burning stove with logs, kindling and firelighters; kitchenette with a gas hob and fridge; two USB charging points, games and books, minibar, tea- and coffee-making kit, and Wildsmith Skin bath products.
Our favourite rooms
The five cosseting cabins at Rest + Wild Exmoor are named after plants you might find blooming in this arcadian landscape: Fern is in the most secluded spot, with its own parking and corner-of-the-estate co-ords; Woodrush and Juniper are shaded by towering trees. Each pastoral pad looks out to the verdant patchwork of farmland and fields, which are best soaked up from your view-gazing bed, around the fire pit or from the outdoor bath tub.
Packing tips
Ditch your eye mask and alarm clock: the inky skies over Exmoor National Park are a DarkSky Reserve and gentle baa-ing from your grazing field-mates is your wake-up call.
Also
You’ll easily disconnect here, figuratively as well as literally: there’s no WiFi (but there is decent phone signal). There are two USB charging points in your cabin, and you can pre-book a power bank with regular sockets for your camera or laptop.
Pet‐friendly
Up to two pooches are welcome for £25 each a stay, just let staff know in advance. Dogs should be kept on a lead at all times due to the retreat’s livestock-roaming locale. See more pet-friendly hotels in Exmoor National Park.
Children
Welcome, but this secluded stay might be better suited to grown-ups. You’ll have to bring your own baby cot or small travel bed, and the retreat can provide free towels for an additional guest (extra sheets are £15).
Sustainability efforts
These off-grid cabins are powered by solar panels.
