The perfect setting to disconnect from reality.
We had such a magical time with our 11mo old baby and Labrador staying in the Sparrow cabin in Shropshire. Came back so refreshed and energised. Parents- note there are no plug sockets and space is limited so not able to use plug in chargers/monitors. Think of this as a step up from camping. We left the window open a crack to keep an ear out and this worked perfectly. Popped baby down inside in the evenings and spent our time with a few drinks in the copper bath then cosy up with blankets round the firepit with the dog. We all slept surprisingly well in the same room, baby in travel cot, dog in her bed on the floor- not a peep from either. Would have been tough in the pouring rain but we were really lucky with the weather. Pack light as every inch of this place is used! Would definitely come again in the summer.
Absolutely stunning views in the cosiest cabin. The most peaceful surrounds for an off-grid few days. We loved the outdoor fire-pit and bath, would highly recommend to anyone!
My partner and I have just returned from a weekend stay at the Yorkshire Dales location. The location itself is perfectly nestled amongst miles of scenery. A perfect little spot to forget about the every day and just get lost in your own little bubble. We didn’t bump into another soul during our stay, unless we wanted to! Mornings and evenings spent looking over the breathtaking views and the only sounds to be heard were those of the local wildlife. We ventured out to the Jervaulx Abbey and walked the Jervaulx Abbey loop recommended in the rest and wild welcome pack. We were not disappointed! And also… if you want a decent portion of hearty pub grub…the cover bridge inn is the one! You will pass this on the abbey loop walk, or it is less than a 10 minute drive from the cabin. The cabins themselves are beautiful! They really do provide a rustic and stylish touch of luxury within a forest setting. The windows perfectly positioned to laze in comfort and take in those views. Seating both inside and out, shower, outdoor copper bathtub, fire pit, plus all the accessories you need for everything! We have had a truly unforgettable experience and I may have shed some tears whilst leaving!
We stayed in the Rowan cabin in the Yorkshire Dales location. The interior was beautiful down to the tiniest detail. The space was so well thought out and was incredibly cosy and warm. The outdoor copper bath was a real treat even on the coldest of evenings. Being so close to nature was so very special. We loved hearing the owls at night! We are definitely going to stay again and would highly recommend this for a relaxing break for 2.
Rest+Wild Exmoor is magical! The spot is stunning. You get the most beautiful views from the windows in the cabin. The sunsets and stargazing are incredible. The cabin is incredibly cosy and private. The location is great for nearby walks, beautiful countryside and a few pubs. We had the most amazing long weekend here and would recommend this to anyone who enjoys being out in the countryside.
Had two incredible nights in the Yorkshire dales. The cabin had the best view and they thought everything that was needed for a perfect stay.
We stayed at Rest & Wild, Shropshire for my Husbands birthday. We arrived to no less than I had hoped for, what we couldn’t have expected was the level of pure relaxation. 3 nts of stunning scenery, cosy reading, firepit food, hot tea, beautiful toiletries & hot outdoor baths. The perfect retreat after walking the stunning hills at long mynd & carding mill. We both feel we’ve breathed properly for the first time in over 12 months . We will definitely be back ( ideally tomorrow ) . Thank you Rest & Wild , what a treat .
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Rest & Wild, and it was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the tranquil countryside, this retreat is the perfect place to disconnect from the chaos of daily life and reconnect with yourself and nature. From the moment I arrived, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace. The space is beautifully curated, blending rustic charm with modern comforts, creating an atmosphere that is both cosy and inspiring. Every detail, from the soft linens to the thoughtful amenities, has been carefully considered to make you feel at home. The surrounding landscape is breathtaking—rolling hills, serene woodlands, and a stillness that soothes the soul. I spent my mornings enjoying tea on the porch, listening to the birds and watching the sunrise, and my evenings under a blanket of stars. What sets Rest & Wild apart is its emphasis on mindfulness and simplicity. It’s not just a place to stay; it’s an experience that encourages you to slow down, savour the moment, and truly live. Whether you’re seeking solitude, creativity, or just a break from the noise, this retreat offers the perfect setting. I left feeling refreshed, reconnected, and inspired—proof that sometimes, all you need is a little time in nature to find yourself again. I can’t recommend Rest & Wild enough, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit.
Had a wonderful 3 night stay in the Sparrow in Shropshire. Was the perfect place to rest and unwind after Christmas and get away from the rush of everyday life. The cabins are so cosy with the log burners and the timing of the snow just added to the effect for me! The only sounds were the wildlife and the rain on the cabin roof overnight. Highly recommend getting the food hampers too. These were delicious and so handy to have provided. The cabins had all the essentials you could need and nothing more which was so refreshing.
We had a fantastic, restful break, nestled in the wood and away from the world, with the only noise coming from the pheasants and birds in the trees. What a wonderful place. Thank you
this was such an incredible getaway! the customer service was top notch in terms of responding quickly, giving great local recommendations, and providing a quality experience. i can’t recommend them enough if you want a cosy weekend away :)
We stayed here for a last minute get away recently and had a brilliant time. The cabin itself was beautiful with everything you need for a short stay, they even provided a wheelbarrow to take your bags to the cabin! You’re literally surrounded by nature with stunning views from the cabin so it’s incredibly peaceful, there are some lovely walks nearby and even more just a short drive away. The communication before was brilliant and they share a pack which includes everything you need to know and clear maps to find the location of the farm/cabins. It was such a lovely weekend, will definitely be returning again!
The Fern was a wonderful cosy stay with an incredible view. The cabin was super clean, modern design and a very peaceful environment to switch off. Little touches that made our stay easier from the hosts, like the torch outside, trolley for belongings etc. made for a seamless and relaxing stay. Thank you!
We had the best time away in Exmoor. The cabin was immaculate, the setting was beautiful and Kate was extremely responsive. In particularly after an item was left in the cabin, Kate and the team were amazing at ensuring it got back to us safely. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.
We just came back from a really lovely stay in Exmoor. The cabins are wonderfully presented with everything you need. The views and location…..wow! Absolutely amazing and so peaceful. This is the kind of place you don’t really want to leave, just sit and enjoy the peace and quiet and completely switch off. However, if you do explore I’d highly recommend The London Inn for lunch/dinner, Lynmouth for a visit and also Tarrr Steps for a short but beautiful walk with a stop at Tarr Farm Inn at the end.
It was faultless … the cabin is beautifully set up, every detail has been thought of, the sheep made great neighbours and the views and sunsets were magical. It was Rest and properly Wild, like another world. The London Inn down the road has real fires, delicious food and a warm welcome after our long walks across the moor.
Cabins were lovely. V beautiful setting. Lots of nice touches. Could be a little more on it with a couple of things. No firelights for example when the theme is that you can cook properly on the fire (no more were dropped off when advised this too). Shower drain was blocked so shower flood quickly. There was an off smell when you arrived. It did fairly quickly go once we opened all the doors/ put the heating on but I’m sure this could be resolved before guests arrive. Hope this is useful feedback.
Had the most amazing relaxing 2 nights here. The cabin is gorgeous with the comfiest mattress I’ve ever slept on❤️ my little doggy really enjoyed his stay too listening to all the wildlife in the forest. The perfect staycation to switch off & relax. Will definitely be booking again soon thanks so much

Mar 27,2025If you’re looking for a peaceful, off-grid few days away to recharge, Rest & Wild in the Yorkshire Dales is the perfect place! I stayed in “The Birch” and I saw one person walk by the whole time I stayed there. It was remote, serene and just wonderful. It was clean, well kept and easy to find. If you’re like me and don’t particularly like camping but love exploring and relaxing “in the wild”, this place will absolutely do the trick. No WiFi, poor signal… cut off from the world! The outdoor bath was my favourite! Something magical about relaxing in a steaming hot bath outside, listening to the birds and reading a book. I can’t wait to visit again! Would highly recommend over and over again. Thank you.
