Reviews of The Cabin
“
What a stunning place to discover tucked away in a beautiful part of Devon! It is so close to the picturesque beaches, which the children were able to enjoy day after day being an easy ten minutes’ drive away. The Cabin itself is stylish and practical. It had everything we could need and more, even down to a hairdryer. The beds and pillows were comfortable, as were the sofas in the gorgeous kitchen-diner. The small garden area is secluded and not overlooked and the greenery all around can be enjoyed from both outside and in. The glass doors and large windows bring in lots of light. We highly recommend and will be sure to return again soon! ”

The Cabin is a beautiful spot for a family holiday. The lodge itself is immaculate, fully kitted out kitchen and very comfortable beds and sofas, with a large bath which suited our baby well. The surrounding woodlands and water is brilliant for exploring with little kids. Our three-year-old had endless fun paddling and playing. It’s a brilliant location for visiting beaches and local towns, all of which are very family friendly. We will definitely visit again. Highly recommended. ”

Gara Mill is a beautifully appointed treetop hideaway set in the glorious surroundings of a river valley. The large living area windows give a view into and over the trees and lead to a secluded decking area. The wood burner creates a cosy atmosphere on cooler days. Comfy beds and lovely décor give a feeling of luxury and the well-equipped kitchens means you have everything you need for a home-from-home feel. There are loads of lovely places to explore nearby and we will definitely be back!
