The stay
A cabin for two, in a secluded corner of East Devon
5.0 · 1 reviewThe Acorn Library is an award-winning hideaway in a secluded corner of the Devon countryside.
Come for a romantic weekend, some uninterrupted time to think, or simply to disappear for a while.
Read poetry in the outdoor bath, lose an afternoon to a novel on the deck, or find a book that sends your thoughts somewhere unexpected. The beautiful Jurassic Coast is just fifteen minutes away.
It was built around a simple idea: the right book, read in the right place, can plant a seed in your mind.
