A private romantic hideaway in the South Devon countryside, created entirely for two.

The Nook is far more than somewhere to stay—it is an experience in its own right. Set within its own peaceful field and surrounded by open countryside, this secluded retreat gives you an abundance of space to slow down, switch off and enjoy being together. Inside, the king-size bedroom, two cosy wood burners, fully equipped kitchen and thoughtful touches such as robes make it wonderfully comfortable in every season. Outside, the hot-water bath beneath the open sky, outdoor shower, two fire pits and outdoor kitchen turn an ordinary break into something genuinely memorable.

It is an especially lovely choice for a proposal, anniversary, birthday, celebration or romantic getaway, whether you spend summer evenings cooking outside or cooler nights beside the fire. South Milton Sands is approximately one mile away, while Hope Cove can be reached on foot in around 40 minutes, so peaceful countryside and the South Devon coast are both close at hand.

Stays: Flexible check-in and check-out days with a minimum stay of three nights.

Frequently Asked Questions

Useful things to know before booking The Nook.

How many guests does The Nook sleep?

Is The Nook secluded?

Yes. The Nook sits in its own peaceful field setting surrounded by South Devon countryside, giving it a wonderfully private and secluded feel.

There are farms and properties within the wider surrounding area, so it isn't completely isolated, but there are no immediate next-door neighbours. Once you're at The Nook, it feels like you have an abundance of space around you.

How far is The Nook from the beach?

The beach is approximately one mile from The Nook and can be reached on foot. The route follows a country lane, which is narrow in places, so guests should take appropriate care when walking.

Can you walk to Hope Cove from The Nook?

Yes. Hope Cove is approximately a 40-minute walk from The Nook. The route takes you along country lanes, which can be narrow in places, but guests regularly make the journey on foot.

Does The Nook have an outdoor bath?

Yes. One of The Nook's most-loved features is its outdoor bath, set within the peaceful countryside surroundings.

It's a normal bath with hot water rather than a hot tub, so you simply fill it when you want to use it. It can be enjoyed throughout the year if you're happy with the outdoor temperature — wrap up warm, light the nearby fire pit and enjoy a long soak under the open sky.

Does The Nook have a wood burner?

It has two. There is a wood burner in the bedroom and another in the lounge, making The Nook particularly cosy for autumn and winter stays.

Plenty of wood is provided for the fires, so you can settle in, light the wood burners and enjoy them throughout your stay.

Are there fire pits outside?

They're perfect for making the most of The Nook's outdoor space as the evening draws in.

Is The Nook warm in winter?

Does The Nook have a full kitchen?

Yes. The Nook has Wi-Fi, so you can stay connected during your countryside escape.

Is The Nook dog-friendly?

Yes. The Nook welcomes up to two dogs, so you can bring them along for your South Devon break.

Does The Nook have parking?

Yes. There is an abundance of parking at The Nook, so parking is very easy for guests.

Does The Nook have EV charging?

Is The Nook suitable for a romantic break?

Absolutely. The Nook has been designed as a retreat for two, with a secluded countryside setting, outdoor bath, two wood burners, fire pits and plenty of space to slow down and switch off.

Is The Nook suitable for a winter break?

Yes. The Nook isn't just a summer retreat. It has heating, two wood burners and plenty of wood provided, making it particularly cosy during autumn and winter.

The outdoor bath can also be used year-round if the weather suits you — light the nearby fire pit, wrap up warm afterwards and enjoy the quieter side of the South Devon coast.

Can we explore the area on foot?

Yes. The Nook is well placed for guests who enjoy walking. The beach is approximately one mile away and Hope Cove is around a 40-minute walk.
