A gorgeous cabin nestled in magical surroundings near Aylesbeare, this exquisite retreat offers a complete escape from the outside world. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom sanctuary overlooks the beautiful countryside, 8 miles from both the historic city of Exeter and the Jurassic Coast. Head into Exeter to potter in the independent shops, dine out and visit the cathedral and castle. Venture down to the beach at Budleigh Salterton to picnic, play games and dip in the sea. While you are here, take a stroll through the River Otter Estuary Nature Reserve, looking out for an array of wading birds, as well as otters and even beavers, which have been reintroduced. Keen walkers may wish to strike out along the scenic South West Coast Path. Dartmoor National Park, 19 miles away, with its spectacular landscapes, fabulous footpaths and roaming ponies, makes a superb day out for lovers of the great outdoors. Close by, you’ll find Topsham, Darts Farm, Greendale Farm Shop, Lympstone, Honiton, and Branscombe—each offering their own unique charm.
Step inside the exclusive Scandinavian-style cabin to find accommodation with a cutting-edge, boutique hotel style and an abundance of sophistication. At its heart is an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where you can gather to relax, socialise and absorb the views. Slide open the great glass doors in here to create seamless indoor/outdoor living. Prepare delicious meals with Devon produce in the high-specification kitchen as you chat to your nearest and dearest as they perch at the breakfast bar with a cup of fresh coffee from the machine. Set the table for celebratory feasts and stage movie nights in the seating area where there is a Smart TV. A second lounge, with sofas that can be transformed into beds and a whimsical dressing room-style row of mirrors and chairs, where you can ready yourselves for each day, is the perfect place to steal a few moments to yourself. A set of French doors here can also be opened up onto the patio. Your magnificent bedrooms exude just as much taste and style. To one side of the main living space, your sumptuous master bedroom features a super-king-size four-poster bed, more doors onto your outside space and an opulent en-suite bathroom, with a stunning freestyle bath and a shower. The second bedroom, a twin, is tucked under the vaulted wooden ceiling on the mezzanine level. Guests in this room can enjoy the family shower room at the foot of the stairs.
Savour the serenity from your private patio, with its outdoor furniture. Soak up the sunshine by day and dine under the stars by night. Follow the mown paths through the 20-acre estate, pausing to admire the scenery at the tranquil pond and in the pretty orchard. There is off-road parking for two cars.
