The details
To reach Little Poro you stroll along a charming walkway overhung with trees and into an orchard. In the evenings, little lights illuminate the trees, helping you find your way whilst adding a bit of woodland magic. You’ll pass the Cider House along the way which you’re welcome to use as a snug with books, games and plenty of DVDs to keep you occupied. At the top of the orchard you'll come upon Little Poro and beyond it breathtaking, uninterrupted views across the valley and over Exmoor.
The hut itself and the hot tub have plenty of privacy thanks to trees at the end of the orchard that provide a natural screen. Inside, you’ll find a sumptuous king size bed set beneath an antler lamp from Lapland. The hut features a well-equipped kitchenette and an ensuite shower room with a flushing toilet. You’ll be cosy whatever time of year you visit with underfloor heating, a log burner and a heated rail to keep your towels toasty and warm.
The outside area is perfect for making the most of long summer nights or crisp autumn afternoons. There’s a lovely wooden kitchen cabin, equipped with a gas pizza oven and a gas BBQ, with the space lit by fairy lights and lanterns so dinner can stretch out late into the evening. After supper, light up the fire and get cosy in the firepit shelter with a glass of wine, or go for a dip in the Swedish hot tub and watch the stars twinkling above.
There’s plenty to do in the area, especially for those looking to make the most of the outdoors. Remember to pack your walking boots as there are some stunning walking trails right from your front door along quiet county lanes, through rugged moors and along dramatic coastlines. Try Baggy Point, a circular walk that takes you to the edge of Croyde Bay, or the walk from Crow Point which takes you through a nature reserve and offers stunning seaside views. The Tarka Trail is a flat, easy bike route which is a fantastic way to soak up some of the scenery and there are water sports available at most of the local beaches and at Wimbleball Reservoir.

We had such an amazing stay at Little Poro, there was so much space for us with the hot tub, outside kitchen, sheppards hut and fire pit area we were spoilt for choice! It was such a relaxing and peaceful stay we were sad to leave. Thank you for such a lovely stay we will definitely be back x

After a lot of research we chose little poro for a relaxing getaway, the pictures of the hot tub and surrounding orchard looked lovely. Arriving at little poro though, I was thrilled to find that it's even better than it looks! Val gave us such a friendly welcome, the hot tub was already fired up and ready to go. The view of the wide open Devon skies with exmoor stretching out across the horizon, absolutely blew us away and we were excited to try some stargazing later. it's clear that a lot of love and artistry have gone into making this an incredible place to stay. There were so many beautiful details and touches in the decoration of the hut and the many fantastic amenities. I left feeling completely inspired and eager to recreate some of that magic at home and in my own garden. The outdoor kitchen, cosy outdoor firepit shelter, hammock, incredible swedish hot tub and the sweet little sitting area behind the hut meant that we had lots of little places to explore and try out. The hot tub in particular was incredible and being able to relax and look up at the stars was an unforgettable experience. There's so much more I could say, but to summarise, this trip was 11/10 and I very much hope to visit again or to try Val and Mark's other cabins nearby. Don't hesitate to book.
