Beautifully nestled on the edge of Exmoor National Park, Ursabear Cabin is a hand-built TV-featured ‘Amazing Space’ that takes inspiration from the stars. Even from the delightfully cosy kingsize bed, you can continue to keep a watchful eye on the stars from the stargazing window.
Alternatively, head outside to the woodland fire pit on oak barrel chairs and stargaze through the telescope on the decking. With Exmoor National Park being a designated Dark Sky Reserve, there will certainly be lots to see!
This accommodation is presented in collaboration with Host Unusual.
Stay & Gaze - this location benefits from dark skies, relatively low levels of light pollution, is astronomy friendly and suitable for stargazing breaks.
