Peaceful, private and surrounded by countryside, this spacious shepherd's hut is all you could ask for from a tranquil and nature-infused retreat in Devon.
Willow settles on a private farm just outside Exeter. Beautifully designed and furnished, it also comes thoroughly equipped so you'll have everything you need to enjoy complete relaxation during your stay. Inside the hut you'll discover a separate bedroom nook with a comfy king size bed and views down to the river, as well as a a curved overhead roof light so you can watch the stars before drifting off to sleep. The living / dining area has a bench sofa with cushions, and a cleverly concealed dining table that can be packed away after use. You'll also find a perfectly formed kitchenette with hob and cooker, a range of appliances and glasses, utensils and crockery. During the warmer months you'll be able to open the double doors and enjoy indoor / outdoor living, while a fabulous log burner and underfloor heating keeps things warm and toasty inside when it's chilly. Outside, there's a private hot tub to sink into and a cold water plunge bath for cooling off. A fabulous outdoor kitchen with sink, pizza oven and barbecue sit under-cover, as does the seating area, which means you can enjoy outdoor cooking and socialising even if it's raining.
Devon Heaven Hideaways lies on a farm within the picturesque Kenn Valley. One of a small collection of boutique glamping properties, Willow too has its own secluded plot with access down to the river. Perfectly placed for exploring, the wild beauty of Dartmoor and its tors lies within a few minutes drive, as does the beach at Dawlish Warren. Exeter and its Medieval cathedral are also within striking distance, so you'll be able to shop, eat out and explore to your heart's content. Just 5 minutes on foot or a couple of minutes by car, The Ley Arms is a stunning 12th Century thatched pub with a cosy atmosphere and an excellent reputation. The food here is warming, fresh and created from locally sourced ingredients so it's well worth a visit during your stay. On sunny days you'll be able to sit outside and enjoy the leafy outlook and village atmosphere, while in colder weather, the inside is kept warm by a large log fire.
Less than a mile away in Kennford, the local grocery store and post office sells freshly baked goodies and a range of necessities. It's also home to its own pub, The Seven Stars which is a great place to sample a few West Country beers as well as delicious pub grub including pies and takeaway pizzas. They also have a pool table, darts and sports TV.
