Resting on the slopes of a small vale outside of Combe Martin, Valentine’s Orchard is named for the small orchard that it borders on the site of Truckham Farm. Starting with its sister cabin 100 metres away, Skylark, owner Nicola has focused on creating spaces with creativity and eco-consciousness as their focus. No matter where you are in Valentine’s Orchard, you’ll see that focus, when you’re admiring the wooden beams above the wood burner whilst you snuggle up, or when you look out over the gentle slopes from your cosy linens in bed.

On the very western half of Exmoor National Park, you’re just three miles from Combe Martin Beach and the South West Coastal path, and in 20 minutes or so, you could be at another award-winning beach – Woolacombe, or just heading further into Exmoor. With huge windows looking out on your own tiny valley in front of the large desk, this could be an incredible place to work remotely for a while, though you’d inevitably want more free time. With wifi onsite, plenty of space to breeze about, and cooking facilities that’d make a house jealous – Valentine’s Orchard shows off what glamping is supposed to be like.

    The colour and light of this romantic retreat are a beautiful blend of art and craft, which is what you’d expect in a cabin built by an artist and a craftsman. Nick made most of the furniture and Dolly’s creativity brings the colour, along with a scattering of finds from their life in Mexico and extensive travels. The style is easily matched by the substance, with a big double bed, fully-equipped kitchen and modern shower room with Mexican tiles and a handmade copper sink, meaning you have everything you need in the intimate, characterful space. There’s also bunk space cleverly installed above the sofa so you can bring the kids. Just outside the cabin you’ll find Jackson’s stand out feature, the private wood-fired hot tub surrounded by trees and shrubbery in a corner of the garden. With the lanterns lit and the stars out above you, a late night soak adds an extra dash of magic to a restorative, romantic break. If you’re not content to spend time just soaking and lounging, Nick and Dolly, who live on site can include you in their summer Monday pizza events using the great earth wood fired oven. They can also give you pointers on exploring south Devon, from canoeing on the river Dart, walking the Kingsbridge estuary to wild hikes on Dartmoor. There’s great surfing at Bantham beach, hidden coves all along the coastline and quaint country villages with pubs serving superb local ale. At the end of a day the cabin welcomes you home to pull up a chair by the wood burner and enjoy the quiet as you wait for the hot tub to heat.

    Sitting within its own extensive grounds, in the heart of Dartmoor National Park, this beautiful Georgian country house certainly has the wow factor. Comfortably sleeping up to 18, Prince Hall has plenty of extras to keep guests of all ages entertained. If you’re looking for a tranquil country escape with friends or family, this show stopper of a property has it all. The large, elegant family lounge has huge windows which flood the space with natural light and make the most of the fabulous garden views. There’s plenty of comfortable seating and you’ll also find a TV and a selection of games. The spacious kitchen has been recently refurbished in a welcoming, farmhouse style. With a huge gas range stove and big American fridge/freezer, it’s been perfectly designed to cater for a large group. You’ll find everything you need to prepare and enjoy a leisurely breakfast, light lunch or fancy dinner, including an air-fryer, microwave, toaster, crockery and glassware. Then all you have to do is decide where to eat your feast – at the informal kitchen table, in the large dining room or outside in the picturesque garden. One of the pleasant surprises in this fantastic property is the well-equipped games room. Here you can challenge your guests to a game of table football, enjoy a pool tournament or brush up on your table tennis skills. Adults and children alike will be drawn to this fun-filled space. Another hidden gem is the infrared sauna, located on the first floor, which is available for your own private use during your stay. The room also has a walk-in shower to refresh you after your relaxing sauna session. The nine spacious bedrooms with super king-size beds (seven of which can be twin beds if needed) are all ensuite so there won’t be any queues for the bathroom in the morning. One boasts a decadent four-poster and another offers a delightful sleigh bed. Each room is super-comfy and guarantees guests a fab night's sleep. Stepping outside to the huge, private gardens you’re in for a treat. As well as spectacular views across the moorland, you’ll find a large BBQ area with outdoor seating, a hot tub, a fire pit and even a woodland meditation circle. With a national park on your doorstep, there are plenty of opportunities to explore your breath taking surroundings on foot. And if you fancy a pub lunch or tea and cakes, the nearest village, Princetown, is three miles away. Here you’ll also find a brewery and Dartmoor Prison Museum.

  • Great Burrows Stable

    • 4
    • 2 nights min stay

    With effortless grace, Great Burrow Stable blends the deep, rich colours of a chic hotel with the peace of the Devon countryside. Inside, you’ll find plush red armchairs, ornate screens and hints of brass picked out by vintage lighting, while outside under the covered porch, nature is left to work her own magic. The dining table and chairs are where you’ll sit in the morning with a coffee, or finish the day with a glass of something while you debate who gets the swing or the bath first. Both are beautiful on a starry night, but equally atmospheric when the rain is drumming on the roof above. While the cabin has all the modern flourishes – fridge, TV, wifi – owners Mary and Justin, who left London in search of a different way of life, have created a space perfect for unhooking from the modern world and truly relaxing. You can hike straight from the door on woodland trails, hit the coast in half an hour, nip over to Dartmoor, or stroll through the woods to the local pub for dinner. If you prefer to cook, then pick up ingredients from Okehampton’s organic grocer, to add to the local milk and the eggs from the hens you’ll see wandering past the cabin. You’ll possibly spot Theo, a neighbour’s horse who lives in the field next door, while all around you the health of lightly tended land means deer, rabbits, owls and woodpeckers are all common sights. All you have to do is decide if you’ll be spotting from the deck recliner, the lounge chairs, the swing or the bath.
