Nuthatch

Nestled between the Blackdown Hills AONB and the East Devon AONB in the quaint Devonshire village of Stockland near Honiton is Nuthatch, a fabulous, single-storey abode. Enveloped by countryside walks and landscapes, Nuthatch makes a delightful home for a romantic break, complete with a stylish open-plan living space, an enclosed courtyard and the use of an indulgent hot tub.

Drive through the gated driveway and park up before heading indoors with your personal belongings in tow. Make yourself at home in the living space, where you can relax with a good book in hand, prepare delicious meals in the sleek kitchen, and dine as a two, followed by a competitive board game and a bottle of wine.

As the night unfolds, head into the courtyard to start the hot tub and enjoy a bubbling soak, before heading to bed in the well-appointed king-size bedroom. Awaken to a shower in the contemporary en-suite wet room, before heading for Honiton, home to a hub of amenities to ease your stay; you'll also locate the All Hallows Museum of Honiton, and the Thelma Hulbert Gallery, within the market town, followed by the Land Rover Experience West Country if you fancy a thrill-seeking activity.

The coast is within reach, with Lyme Regis recommended as a stop off, where you can stroll along and collect a keepsake from the Lyme Regis Fossil Beach, brush up on your local knowledge at the Lyme Regis Museum, or hike through the Axmouth to Lyme Regis Undercliffs National Nature Reserve, offering the best of the coast and country. Venture into the city of Exeter for the day, teaming with culture, art, and a vibrant feel, where you can tour Exeter Cathedral, and Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery, ahead of discovering River Exe, enveloped by eateries and pubs to round off your indulgent break.
