HOF Hut
+
Japanese Onsen
& Eco~Sauna
Larger than a shepherd's hut, you will find all the warmth, comfort, solace and love you need for a magical break in deepest darkest Devon.
Being 'Rural Chic' means you get lots of high quality linens and stuff like 'pillow acorns'
(you'll have to stay here to find out what those are!)

It is possible to cook a roast in this little kitchen. There is everything you need here including a 'Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser'
and a coffee grinder & 'aeropress'
for an out of this world coffee experience.
Or you could just go to the pub.....
Most of the fixtures, fittings & furniture is handcrafted by Siobhán, using reclaimed wood.
The hut takes its inspiration from Scandi design & the Japanese Wabi-sabi aesthetic ~ embracing imperfection, impermanence, and simplicity
Its a small but ergonomically designed shower room, with a very unique set up and quirky use of materials.
This handcrafted Japanese Onsen is big enough to float in. Heated by our 'Big Bertha' woodburner to about 38/39 degrees you'll find its a very different experience to your average hot tub.
With a bottle of fizz, a donkey nay, some owl - offs (they are quite feisty here) and the quietness of our rural valley, you will quickly forget your worries and believe in the simple here and now.....ah...bliss!
The exclusive use of the Onsen is included in your stay.
New for Autumn 2022, this beautiful compact Eco~Sauna is completely unique and so called because no new trees were chopped in the making.
It is based on a traditional Finnish Sauna with an electric stove.
The exclusive use of the sauna
is included in your stay.
If that's not enough, take advantage of our outside spaces, a covered Chillout Area with honesty bar, large decking sun terrace with room for sunbeds, cultivated garden, hammock & webber BBQ/firepit area.
Oh and superb views over the valley to Yes Tor-the second highest point in Dartmoor.
You remember the dark skies of your childhood- well we have those here too. The village street lights turn off after 1pm but this picture was taken with street lights on and crescent moon behind the camera.
