Everything you need to enjoy simple pleasures

What's inside

The first thing you'll notice is that the Den is flooded with light with big windows on all sides to take full advantage of the surrounding nature. The cabin feels surprisingly spacious and is open plan. The comfy two seater sofa and chair in front of the wood burner make it tempting to hunker down on chilly evenings.

Dining

There is a small kitchen corner with a gas camping stove for quick cups of tea or a real espresso coffee. There's a choice of dining areas, inside beside the window with a great view of the birds on the feeder or on the veranda looking over the meadow. The fire pit is surrounded by seating logs with comfy cushions to hand, or new for 2025 we've created an easily accessible dining platform to the rear of the Den overlooking the Stream.

Comfy bed

And then there's the four poster bed draped in tiny lights, hand crafted from woodland branches and overlooking mature trees from the double aspect windows. No need to venture outside at night for the shower-room either, it's connected to the Den via a rustic barn door.

Discover Den by the Stream

The setting

Green spaces with trees, birdsong and cascading water are hugely beneficial for our wellbeing. The location of the Den encompasses all these and more. Designed with simplicity and comfort as a priority, it's a restorative place for relaxing your mind, switching off and giving yourself a proper break.

What we provide

Whether you're coming for a romantic getaway or therapy retreat, the Den promotes a simpler way of being . There's no wifi, no TV, no radio or fridge. You'll find everything you could need to ensure you're comfy and feel well looked after. You'll be provided with bottled tap water, towels and linen, wood for the fire, soft fluffy blankets, board games, jigsaw puzzles and books. For practical purposes there's a solar panel producing enough power for lighting, (and if you must, for recharging your phone and running your devices).

The Den is insulated top to bottom, so the wood burner keeps it cosy on chilly evenings. During sunny days the large windows keep the cabin comfortably warm.

Being off-grid and eco-friendly you have no worries about your carbon footprint! The Den has been crafted from locally sourced sustainable timber and the interior using re-cycled insulation, windows, most furniture and fabrics or built using wood from fallen trees. The loo is wood shavings and the shower pump is rechargeable battery, the water warmed by the sun or wood burner (with stove top as a contingency!).

Cooking and eating

You can eat alfresco seated on logs by the outside fire pit, on the new decking area overlooking the stream or on the Den's veranda. If you prefer to BBQ, you can rustle up some fine food outside with the COBB BBQ cooker (complete with its own recipe book). Inside the Den there's a camping stove for quick cups of tea or a Sunday morning fry-up. If you don't fancy cooking for yourself, there's a good choice of really good cafes, bistro pubs and restaurants nearby.
