Welcome to Nellie's Nook, a delightful little hideaway nestled in a secluded spot close to Dartmoor National Park. Ideal for that romantic escape for two, or a tranquil solo getaway with the dog in tow, you're sure to fall in love with the charm of this beautiful shepherd's hut.

Nestled in its own private spot, with glorious views of the fields and the countryside, Nellie's Nook is quite simply the dream. Step inside the bespoke hut to find wonderfully charming and spacious interiors, with a sumptuous king-size bed (inviting you to enjoy leisurely lie-ins) with storage underneath, a comfortable sofa and a sweet little kitchen-area, complete with a hob, toaster, fridge, kettle, cafetiere, radio and oven. There's even an indulgent Hotel Chocolat hot chocolate maker - ideal for those cosy evenings in perched around the wood-burner. The owner kindly provides Hotel Chocolat hot chocolate sachets - so you don't need to bring your own! You'll also find the stylish shower-room within the hut.

The outside space really is wonderful and enclosed. Here you'll find a dreamy wood-fired outdoor bathtub, deck chairs perched around the barbecue fire-pit and a pretty table and chairs. This is the perfect spot after a day of exploring; pour a glass of something special to toast to your holiday, watch the sheep and cattle graze in the fields and admire the beautiful sunsets from the comfort of the deck chairs, before hopping in the outdoor bathtub for a starlit soak. Sounds perfect to us…

Ms Newell

Nellie's Nook is an absolutely delightful choice for a romantic getaway. Fiona is a lovely, helpful, and thoughtful host who made every effort to make our stay a complete pleasure, which it was. Every one of her recommendations for local sites and food options etc. was perfect! There are so many good thing you could say, but some of our faves were the excellent fire bath and outdoor fire pit, the lovely clean, modern, well-insulated cottage, the beautiful view and peaceful seclusion, and waking up to Dartmoor ponies! Great location for access to the moors and to the coastline. Highly recommended, and we'll be back when we can!

Miss Bishop

My stay at Nellies nook was absolutely perfect, its got all the amenities and more than I could have imagined too! The bath is gorgeous and the views are so calming! It was an amazing stay and I would definitely stay again and recommend to others!

Miss Davies

Very comfortable stay. Property is very clean and well equipped. This property is not fully enclosed to allow dogs to run free and does not have a tv or provide games. Fiona is a lovely host and very attentive.

Mrs Patel

Nellie’s Nook is the perfect getaway in Devon, well located but remote and an escape from the hustle and bustle. The animals are lovely and being surrounded by nature. The cabin itself was well thought out and comfortable, amenities all worked as expected :)

Mrs DAVIS

Beautiful shepherds hut, everything was to the highest of standards and in a stunning location. Hope to return again.

Mr Cole

Overall, the stay exceeding my expectations and Fiona was the perfect host that went above and beyond for my stay. My car broke down and she was on hand with jumper cables too, a truly amazing host.

The finish of the property, the time and care to details in the welcome package, other subtle touches refilling the fire wood and outdoor bath each day, changing the outdoor recycling bin. All of these things add up to a stay that was truly delightful.

I highly recommend staying at Nellies Nook and simply looking up at the incredible stars and satellites that make themselves known at night. It's also incredibly quiet but not in a creepy way!

Mr Fletcher

A perfect hideaway to escape, celebrate and relax. Everything was as beautiful as the pictures and our host Fiona was lovely, providing a warm welcome lots of useful area knowledge. The added extras and the outdoor bath were also fantastic. We loved our time there and can't wait to go back!
