Bulworthy Eco Cabin
England / Tiverton, Devon
Learn to appreciate nature again and relax in a lovingly handcrafted off-grid cabin, secluded in its own Devon woodland glade.
You'll find the award-winning Bulworthy Project, a sustainable woodland enterprise and recent Gold Award recepient by Green Tourism, set within 12.5 refreshing acres of Rackenford woodland - on the crest of a hill known as Bulworthy Knap, to be precise!
Friendly owners Anna and Pete are passionate about sustainability in every sense of the word, and they moved into the woods back in 2009 to begin living their dream lives. These days, they make charcoal, take guests on a free guided tour of their beautiful woodland surroundings and welcome guests to their handcrafted eco cabin.
Rich in natural luxury, the off-grid cabin has been carefully constructed from materials including naturally fallen heartwood oak and cherry wood, to blend beautifully with its surroundings.
Secluded in a magical woodland glade, you'll have your own hammock, campfire, and barbecue for sizzling sunset suppers, while inside there's plenty of solar electricity and cosy creature comforts to enjoy. There's an ensuite bathroom, and a kitchenette equipped with all the essentials. Downy bedding and towels are all supplied too...meaning you can pack wonderfully light!
Water is heated by a crackling woodburner, which creates a gorgeous romantic glow by evening. With a selection of books and games thoughtfully provided, you can relax and reconnect with the one you love, free from endless digital distractions (though you will find WiFi and USB sockets to charge your phone, should you need them).
After a sound, silent night's sleep, wake to a chorus of birdsong as you enjoy a freshly steaming, al fresco coffee. Then, why not set out and explore the woodland, wonderfully described as a "mosaic of habitats" by the Devon Wildlife Trust? There is a complimentary guided tour of the area, so you can learn about the area as well as taking in the scenes! (On a clear day, you may even be able to spot Dartmoor from some places in the woods, and don't forget to greet the chickens and pigs that dot your way).
If you prefer travelling further afield, there are plenty of lovely local pubs to while away some time in. There's even a Michelin-starred tavern, the 13th century Mason's Arms, within a ten-minute driving distance.
Head back to your cabin as the last of the golden sunlight streams through the trees. Then, cradle a warming drink as the first stars appear in the sky. Situated in a designated ‘dark sky reserve', this is one of the finest places in the UK for stargazing...so you're in for a real treat!
Packed with natural delights, this is one blissfully off-grid romantic break you're sure to remember for some time to come.
