This charming, cosy cabin for two is the ideal spot for a romantic retreat in the picturesque South Devon countryside. Wake up and enjoy a morning coffee whilst gazing out at the far-reaching views across the Erme estuary valley, before venturing out for a walk in the marvellous surrounding scenery. After a day exploring the area, sink into your own private hot tub for a luxurious soak under the stars.

Longdown has a fabulous, unique hilltop position, offering up amazing views which can be enjoyed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. The elevated spot also ensures that you have unrivalled views of the stars at night, which are truly spectacular.

Inside, the cabin is comfy and cosy and has a luxurious king size bed topped with sustainably made, environmentally conscious mattress toppers from Naturmat. The luxury bedding is made using organic Devonshire wool and biodegradable materials and guarantees you and your loved one a great night’s sleep.

The cabin also has a fab ensuite bathroom that features a large rainfall shower and a handheld shower head. The bespoke sink bowls are hand-thrown by local ceramicist, Arwyn Jones, less than a mile away in Modbury. The bathroom also features underfloor heating to keep your toes nice and warm on those chilly winter days. The cabin’s quaint kitchen is nicely equipped with an induction hob with two rings, a combined oven, microwave, grill and a small fridge. You also have saucepans, kitchen equipment, crockery, cutlery and glasses to use throughout your stay.

Back outside and as well as your wood-fired hot tub, you also have a ceramic BBQ and a pizza stone, so you can indulge in some alfresco meal preparation whilst breathing in the fresh country air. To top it off you also have outdoor hot and cold showers, which come with a useful handheld shower for washing off sandy wetsuits or dirty paws.

When it comes to venturing out, you have lots to see and do in the local area. Situated in South Devon there are plenty of great beaches nearby that offer opportunities to try your hand at surfing, waterskiing, sailing, paddleboarding, snorkelling, diving and sea swimming. Just remember to bring your costume with you! There are also some lovely secluded coves, beachside cafes and nice spots to sit and soak up the sun.

The area is also great for avid walkers, with miles of beautiful countryside just waiting to be explored. Foodies will also love the array of lovely restaurants nearby, which offer a range of locally and sustainably caught fish and seafood, seasonal and local fruit and vegetables, light bites and big tasting menus.

Congregate for meals at the large marble dining table which, when covered in laden dishes and full glasses, becomes the place to create lovely memories. Bi-fold doors offer the countryside as a backdrop and, when the weather is fine, pull them aside to bring in the fresh country air and give greater prominence to the fabulous surroundings. The outdoor space is wonderful with something for all to enjoy. Youngsters will love the large grounds, trampoline and play area, as well as splashing about in the swim spa. A large terrace becomes the outside living space in the warmer months and sun loungers and patio dining furniture make it a comfortable, relaxing space to unwind. Lie back in warm rays listening to the gentle splashing from the spa and distant laughter of young ones playing. The fabulous exterior is more-than-matched by the delightful interior. Light, bright and spacious, with an abundance of large picture windows, it is a special place to chill out whatever the weather. Tartan carpets and rugs keep bedrooms and living spaces cosy, while smooth tiles add to the clean, neutral aesthetic. Take some quiet time in the peaceful living room and curl up with a coffee on the large sofas beside the crackling wood burner. Patio doors open out on to the deck for easy access to the garden terrace. When bedtime calls, there are five luxurious rooms to chose from, including one on the ground floor of the property. They all boast modern ensuites, high-end mattresses and linens and have magnificent views across the county. Should the wonderful views inspire guests to explore the area, there is plenty to see and do - head to the coast for days swimming, building sandcastles and rock-pooling. Hikers and bikers will love the rugged Blackdown Hills and there are lots of traditional pubs and great restaurants for refuelling after a day filled with adventure. The Ashill Inn and The Drewe Arms at Broadhembury both come well recommended.

  • 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.

    • 2 nights min stay

    Carpenter’s Cabin soothes the tension of modern life right out of you and fills you with the peace of nature. There are rabbits and badgers rustling in the woods, kingfishers streaking over the pond and the sound of the rippling stream in the background. You can gather everyone round the wood-burner in the evening for games, stories and even guitar practice, light the firepit and stargaze in silence or unwind in the wood-fired sauna or hot tub. The welcome hamper introduces you to the amazing local produce, and walking maps of routes surrounding the site and further afield, invite you to explore. There’s the Granite Way cycle path following the railway tracks from Okehampton and even the beautiful beaches at Bude if you need even more to occupy your time.Carpenter’s Cabin was designed by Ben and Jo not only to give you a great experience of nature, but also to show how its possible to live more in harmony with it. Wood-burners, compost loos, local timber and solar power all minimise impact on the environment, while careful stewardship of their land has lead to flourishing wildlife that benefits everything except the plants in the kitchen garden, that need firm but friendly defending from slugs! Ben and Jo can talk you through any aspect of living in an ecologically sound way, and even build you a cabin of your own, but all they really want is for you to come and feel the peace of their slice of nature.

  • Brownscombe Roundhouse

    • 4
    • 2 nights min stay

    Tucked into the corner of the sheep field, the sun will arc across the sky from your perspective in the wood fired hot tub. But the perfect spots to lie back and relax don’t end there. You’ve got two other options to scrub up, with an indoor power shower for a luxurious wash after exploring the nearby coast or Dartmoor National Park, just a short drive away. There’s also the wonderful tin bath outdoors, on the covered deck, complete with a bath tray to keep the prosecco handy. When you’re not lounging around (and there’s still the Adirondack loungers, mind you), you might be cooking up a storm in the BBQ area outside when the sun’s shining, or of course in the small kitchenette if it’s a cooler evening. But after dinner, all bets are off, and it’s either sipping sundowners by the firepit, or if you’ve brought young ones – toasting marshmallows to perfection. Adventure’s always just a short drive from here, and Devon’s your oyster, with plenty to do inland and across the coast. You could be down to Salcombe in under an hour, or simply Torquay in 15 minutes or so. But the real magic’s on site, especially as a couple on your own, where you can make use of the oak four poster bed and forget everyone else.
