MADE WITH LOVE
A Unique Staycation on Dartmoor
The Book Nook is a hand crafted sustainable Artisan Cabin, inspired by a love of literature and playful sustainable design. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be transported to a simpler way of life, appreciating the sound of nature, the rustle in the trees, the sound of the birds and the magic found in storytelling. With it’s own Narnian wardrobe, the Book Nook is full of rustic charm, beauty and the art of storytelling.
Lurcombe Farm sits in the heart of the English countryside, within an area of outstanding natural beauty. The Dartmoor landscape undulates with rolling hillsides of green fields. Sleeping two, this self-catering Cabin has been hand crafted with love, sustainably as possible and with oodles of character. Set in forty five acres of gorgeous English countryside and on a working farm in a corner of Dartmoor, this property is snuggled into the hillside of a secret little valley. The location is ideal for exploring both the moor and the coast and cottage and guests have complimentary use of the tennis court, orchards, grounds and woodlands. Stays include milk and fresh farm eggs.
The ‘Beatrix’ living room is inspired by Beatrix Potter and Rupert the Bear. It has two cosy armchairs, a log burner and plenty of books to curl up with. A small basket of logs are provided. The library wall is well stocked. Comfy armchairs sit next to The Secret Garden window which overlooks a vast hillside. Book ‘birds’ fly from the ceiling, well loved characters from literature can be spotted in little corners and we think this is the perfect spot to curl up in. You’ll notice lots of upcycled magic here, from the little seed library, through to the vintage threads that sit underneath The Tailor of Gloucester.
‘Brambly Willows’, the kitchen, is inspired by Brambly Hedge & The Wind in the Willows. You’ll be able to whip up a feast in this small but perfectly formed cookhouse. There’s a mini electric oven and some plug in hobs, along with a kettle, toaster, microwave and small fridge / freezer. Tea, coffee, milk and fresh farm eggs are included. The dining area has tables you can move to suit your needs, along with chairs that turn into stools for ease and comfort. There’s plenty of shelving for storage, so make yourself at home.
The bedroom is located on the mezzanine, where you’ll use a farm ladder to climb your way to bed. Please note this is not suitable for those with access difficulties. Inspired by the work of Jane Austen, Emily Bronte and D.H Lawrence this space is romantic and cosy and you can even read the ceiling! The walls recreate giant Penguin books and little nooks share the illustrations of Black Beauty and The Wind in the Willows. All linen and towels are included. The bed is a double and the window overlooks the rest of the hillside. The hand crafted Author headboard was upcycled from a piece of wood found near the old chicken coop!
The bathroom is inspired by the work of Enid Blyton, where her books cover the walls and there’s lashings of fun to be had! There’s a shower and a towel rail – all linen and towels are included.
The garden has a firepit and an outside dining area and garden. The Cabin itself looks out across a vast hillside which is accessed through your very own Narnian wardrobe.
