Experience Eco-Friendly Comfort at River Cottage

Come and stay at River Cottage for an overnight experience that brings you even closer to nature. Here at River Cottage, we prioritise sustainability, and we invite you to enjoy our beautiful Planted Cabin. Experience the mental and physical health benefits of sleeping under the stars and immerse yourself in the advantages of cold-water immersion.

Thoughtfully Designed Space for Unique stays in the UK

Our cabin is thoughtfully furnished with nature in mind at every turn. You’ll find beautifully crafted pieces from the award-winning British brand Another Country, including an armchair, two dining chairs, and side tables. The cabin also features a Naturalmat 100% organic mattress and an elegant mirror by Marque Sussex. Sustainable accessories, like shelving, are provided by our friends at The Snow Sheppard.

For added comfort, Gather has provided a luxurious 100% wool blanket made from the finest natural wool, and hot water bottles crafted from off-cuts of linen are supplied by Delaney Design. Decorative lighting by Joseph Giles and Thermafleece natural hemp insulation enhance the cozy atmosphere, while Tala’s brand-new low-energy portable lamps offer an outdoor lighting solution. Inside, a wood-burning stove ensures warmth on chilly nights.

Sustainable and Off-Grid Living Experience

The materials used in the cabin’s design, provided by Out of the Valley, are sustainably sourced to minimise environmental impact. For a fully off-grid living experience, the Planted Cabin is complemented by a waterless, compostable toilet unit from Waterless Toilets.

An outdoor cold shower facility, designed by Planted and built by Fern Carpentry, features beautiful corrugated hemp side panels from Erthly. This setup allows you to enjoy the scientifically proven health benefits of cold-water immersion, as highlighted on the hit BBC1 show Freeze the Fear with Wim Hof.

Cherish Your Stay at River Cottage

We hope you enjoy your farm holidays in Devon and your stay in Planted’s cabin at River Cottage HQ.

Hugh says, “I’m so thrilled we are now able to offer a stay at River Cottage that is even closer to nature, and to the values of low-impact sustainability that we champion wherever we can. While you are here, you can do what I do every morning and stand under a properly cold shower! Whether you come to take a course, enjoy a feast, or simply relax for a night or two and wander around the farm, I promise it’s an experience you’ll cherish.”
