Rural Woodland Lodge with Log Fire & Sunny Deck

Experience Your Devon Escape in a luxury cabin and immerse yourself in countryside or coastline. Return to nature in this woodland hideaway, with its own log fire and sunny deck overlooking the trees. Doesn't this sound idyllic!

The Cabin is a beautiful Norwegian wood lodge set in a secluded valley at the heart of the South Hams. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, it’s a perfect holiday retreat between the seaside, the rolling Devon hills and the towns of Dartmouth and Salcombe.

Here at Your Devon Escape we will leave you alone but are on hand if need be to answer any questions you may have.

Gara Mill is a wonderful spot for a family holiday. Bring your wellies and tromp down to the river to see the wildlife and have a paddle. Or walk up to the meadow above and cook supper on the communal firepit. Spot birds and butterflies, listen to the sounds of nature at night and watch the stars. It’s a safe space, with very few cars, where children can immerse themselves in nature.

This property is great for bucket-and-spade holidays. With dozens of sandy and shingle beaches to choose from, boats and small ferries to take and ice cream parlours to visit, your children will never be bored!

The Cabin is a haven for nature lovers and lovers in general. Take long coastal walks and eat out in gourmet pubs. Browse the arty shops of Totnes, Kingsbridge and Dartmouth. Slapton Sands and Slapton Ley Nature Reserve are two miles away. The whole South Devon coast is your playground from this idyllic spot.

Eat breakfast on the sunny deck and enjoy a sundowner looking over the trees. Watch the stars in this designated dark sky area. Light the log burner in winter and throw open the patio doors in summer. There’s even a fire pit that’s positioned high above the cabin overlooking the valley beyond – the perfect excuse to roast a marshmallow. Plan your perfect mini break to this holiday lodge in Devon.

Secluded paradise amongst the trees

What a great lodge this is! Tucked amongst the trees, very private. And such a nice feel to it inside! Very well stocked with everything you need. And such a great location to reach lots of local towns and beaches and coastal walks. Also extremely flexible and helpful/friendly host! Thanks very much, would love to return sometime.
