Cove Valley Reviews 

We stayed in the Hopi Cabin for two nights and it wasn’t long enough! It was the perfect set up, everything beautifully curated and everything you could possibly want. This is a super magical place and the perfect place to recharge. The woodfired outdoor tub was a real highlight, soaking whilst watching the sun set and listening to the dusk chorus! Tickling the iron pigs tummy was another highlight! Can’t wait to come back. Thank you to Yolanda and the team for being so hospitable! X

This is the second time ive stayed at Cove Valley, one just a few months ago in Hopi, and this time in Chatan with my husband for a mini moon, after our wedding.

It was a perfect escape...

The cabins are exceptional, all done out with quality furnishings, and very thoughtfully designed... feels very different to your usual stay away, everything about this stay was luxurious.

It was great to get up close with the animals.

Very impressive, 100% reccomended.

Thank you for another wonderful stay.

awesome is the best way to describe this place...

we loaded up with food , drove down to Devon and literally shut ourselves off from the world for 2 days (which felt like 5)

We stayed at Hopi and the facilities are outstanding and to an extremely high level - they have catered for every possible need so you never have to leave...

and dont get me started on those pigs that fall to the floor in front of you and DEMAND a belly rub....

We stayed at Ukai for our honeymoon. It was the most peaceful and warming experience, and everything we were looking for in a getaway. The weather wasn’t perfect however that didn’t stop us from hiking to see the animals, being comforted by the fire being on, or enjoying the wood fire bath. All of the finishings are high end, and worked perfectly. Not a fault to find and we will look forward to coming back.

A magical place run by magical people. Wonderful!

This was our third visit to Cove Valley staying in the new Yurt this time.
We stayed for three nights. The Yurt has everything you could want for comfort and the attention to detail is excellent. It has an extremely comfortable king size bed and the log burner makes it so cosy. The wide open views from the decking and the kitchen area are incredible. We even had Grouse walking by the Yurt.
We did the lovely circular walk that took us through the pine forest out into open paths to see the Stork enclosure, to stroke the very friendly iron age pigs and to get a close up view of the deer.
Everything is so tranquil and we returned home chilled and relaxed – just what we needed. We will be back next year.

Cove Valley is perfect for a short getaway. They have thought of everything and more inside the little cabins and have let nature do the talking outside. Between the unspoilt landscape, friendly pigs, outdoor grill, and hot tub, there is everything you need for a leisurely and peaceful holiday.

We visited Cove valley as a treat to ourselves and we were not disappointed. The Chatan cabin with its rustic charm and tranquil setting was lovely. Setting out on the balcony, enjoying the view, the wood fired bath and meandering with the animals was a joy. We were already planning our next trip before we’d left. We will definitely be back.

A beautiful and tranquil setting, Hopi was a lovely well thought out cabin equipped with everything needed for a relaxed stay.
Extras like the pizza oven ment we were able to relax and unwind the minute we arrived.
We enjoyed are stay so much we arranged to stay an extra night.

We absolutely LOVED our recent stay in Chatan Cove Valley! It is a truly special place, and exactly the ‘escape’ we needed. From the moment you go through the gates the adventure begins, the drive down to Chatan parking is a little experience in itself and not one we were fully expecting, followed by the walk with a wheelbarrow of luggage to the cabin to really give you that sense of leaving your life behind. Recommend arriving in the light if possible!
Chatan cabin itself is rustic but done to the very best of standards & all the fittings/ furniture/ details provided are so thoughtfully selected and each so beautiful. A real getaway. The morning chorus of birdsong is something I won’t forget for a while. Love love love. We will be back I’m sure, would like to try Hopi too! Thank you 🙏

We were so lucky and grateful for a last minute escape to Cove Valley and what a wonderful escape it was! The setting is magical and staying at Chatan we felt deeply immersed in the forest in a way that has never been possible for me before despite living in a rural farm for many years! The booking and check in process are seamless. The long walk from the car parking spot to the cabin all add to the excitement of the secluded setting and we felt very lucky to witness many of the animals being that the owners are inviting back to the valley. I loved the interior design and found the bed super comfy. Pizza night was also a great treat and a delicious experience. We will definitely be back we hope!

An amazing valley! Got back to nature in one of the most peaceful spots. Plenty of wildlife and many different environments to visit just on the circular walk! Be aware the walk is pretty hilly and takes a little more time than you'd expect.
Spent our time listening to birds, relaxing in the hot tub, reading, saying hi to the animals and just being.
Totally recharged and reset. A great head clearer! Thanks 😁

A rewilding project in the depth of the Devon countryside is an absolute gem. Spent 3 days at Hopi and it was a great experience. Outdoor hot tub heated with logs. Very nicely appointed cabin and a view that will be remembered for a lifetime. Wildlife abounds and the stars at night were spectacular. No TV but wifi available or you could… go off grid if you want. Highly recommended.

Private, beautifully presented cabins, nestled in the heart of a rewilding project? What’s not to love. We have just spent a long weekend in Chatan cabin, relaxing, recharging, exploring and experiencing the delights of nature (their resident red deer, and wild pigs are a delight, as well as wild Roe Deer, owls, bats, buzzards etc). Star gazing from the wood fired hot tub, following a home made pizza in the pizza oven, or a fire pit barbecue. The attention to detail that has gone into the whole experience cannot be overstated. The only bad point is that it had to end, as all good things do. I hope we’ll be back some day!

A truly unforgettable & inspiring stay. Ukai was so beautifully designed & positioned in the most magical setting amongst the forest sights and sounds.

We’re so grateful to have experienced the incredible conservation work happening here. The storks, deer, horses, and especially the pigs are clearly thriving in this animal paradise.

Thank you to Yolanda for organising everything so seamlessly. Cove Valley felt like a peaceful sanctuary a million miles away from everyday London life.

We had the loveliest stay at Cove Valley, we truly didn’t want to leave. I can’t remember the last time my husband and I felt so relaxed. The interiors are absolutely gorgeous and have given us lots of home inspo! The Hopi cabin had all of the amenities we could need during our stay and all of the toiletries were gorgeous. We particularly loved the day bed for lounging around and the wood fired tub for relaxing and enjoying the views.

Yolanda gave us really clear check in instructions and was so friendly and helpful in recommending local places.

We would love to return to Cove Valley in the future.

Absolutely loved our romantic little get away in the woods. We spent a lush long weekend at Cove Valley and stayed in Ukai. Everything was comfortable and cosy and we felt like we were in our own world away from everything soaking up nature. The animals were so beautiful and we loved our walks on the land everyday. Thank you so much for sharing a piece of your sanctuary. We will be back xx

Escaped to a cabin in the forest to get away from the world and everyone in it: Chatan a magical cabin reminiscent of ”little house on the prairie” for those that remember but with 20th century luxuries. The floor is soft on your feet, the smell of the wood calming, it’s a hug as you walk through the door. Beautiful, thoughtful well put together interior with plenty of inspirational detail and reading material. Incredible woodland surroundings and wildlife galore. Star gazing perfection once the sun’s gone down. The fact that the cabin nestles within the hosts rewilding project is an absolute privilege. The attention given to get you to your secret hideaway is excellent. Should you wish to be utterly care free they provide plenty of optional extras: BBQ feasts to Pizza dough and all the trimmings to make your own pizza in a Gozney Oven delivered to your door. Am I feeling restored and inspired you bet I am!! Thank you all at Cove Valley!

What an amazing spot to stay for a few days. We stayed in the Chatan cabin and it couldn’t have felt more secluded and peaceful. The option to use the pizza oven is a great bonus as well. The cabin set up is amazing with everything you could need!

Me and my partner came to stay at the Hopi cabin in Cove Valley, and it was nothing short of enchanting!

From the super soft bed to the stunning little touches scattered throughout the cabin, the stunning sunset views sat on the porch to the star lit skies viewed from the steaming hot tub - it was pure perfection.

As busy workers it was beautiful to totally switch off, put our phones down and enjoy nature with not a tv in sight!!

We could not recommend this stay any more highly, we will absolutely be back again and can't wait for our next adventure!!

Thanks so much for putting so much thought into such an enchanting stay.
