The off-grid cabin might not have all the mod cons, but it does offer a cosy bed with a wonderful view, a crackling wood-burning stove, and an outdoor copper bath – perfect for soaking while you gaze at the scenery or lose yourself in a good read.
Did I mention that the dark wood-clad interior has been decorated with the utmost taste too?
Welcome to Rest & Wild in Exmoor.
Hands up – who’d happily trade their current plans for the week for a stay here? My arm shoots up!
Bliss… and honestly, exactly what I could do with right now.
In fact, I was having an interesting chat with someone last week about the difference between what you do for fun and what you do to rejuvenate. I really believe those are two very different things – would you agree?
For me, to truly rejuvenate, I love being somewhere quiet. Going back to basics. Surrounded by nature. It could be the coast, it could be the mountains – really anywhere where the scenery takes over and everything else fades into the background.
What about you – what’s your favourite way to recharge?
Shall we take a peek at a few other cabin escapes today?

Agreed, Rest & Wild seems a perfect place to withdraw and recharge. I am not particularly fond of dark wall color( cause we receive little light in fall/winter), but this cabin has a sense of calm and repose and is perfectly proportioned with just what is required in such an inviting landscape. Copper goes well here. Have a great week:)
ReplyDeleteCozy as a womb and dark as one too. A refuge. A hibernation den, perhaps, but with glorious views to draw you back into the world when you're ready.
ReplyDeleteFantastic view. I can imagine being cuddled up under the covers, pretending to read while watching the view. The outdoor tub is a bit too exposed for me, but it's a fun touch.
ReplyDeleteWe don't take relaxing vacations, per se, but we love to hike, which is a combination of mental rest and physical exertion. After going on challenging trails (I know that Niki takes hiking to a whole new level, and my "challenging" is probably her "moderate"), a cup of tea and a nap are welcome.
