Quirky off-grid cabin-for-2, in a wildflower meadow near Jurassic-Coast beaches
Space & setting.
Striking that dream balance between remote but accessible, close to the sea but away from the crowds, this beautifully simple cabin hides in stunning Devon countryside. More specifically, in its very own wildflower meadow, which you’ll have all to yourself. Allowing a total disconnect there’s no power, WiFi or phone reception, which allows a reconnect with each other and the surrounding nature. Just what we all need after lockdown. So gorgeous in its pared-back design, there’s Stiffkey-Blue panelling, little posies of wildflowers, and boho cushions on the benches out front, a perfect spot for reading in the sunshine. You’ll find all the comforts you need but nothing extraneous.
Sleep deeply in the super-comfy bed then wake to a breakfast hamper with eggs, bread and charcuterie made on the farm. You can spend your days strolling through corn fields and lolling on Jurassic Coast beaches, and head to fabulous local eateries for lunch (kicked off by Hugh F-W, this area is a real foodie hotspot). And later, as swallows swoop and the sun begins to set, settle into the swing seat under the ash tree with a bottle of English wine. Life’s simple pleasures are the most rewarding.

View from Lambert and Coney Castles
- Just 5 miles from the Jurassic Coast, there’s no better location for Dorset and Devon’s best scenery. From your cabin, take a meandering walk to the sea via ancient hill forts – Lambert’s Castle and Coney’s Castle – which have spectacular views over the Marshwood Vale.
- There are plenty of excellent local pubs, including The Bottle Inn, an easy wander up the road, and the Gyle59 brewery, which you can stroll to across the valley for a pint and to pick up some bottles to go with your BBQ.
- The area around Lyme Regis – with its pastel Georgian houses and sweeping sands – is a gastronomic hub, influenced by River Cottage and Mark Hix. There are some amazing local producers, farm shops, markets and fishermen; Hugo will point you to the best ones.
- Visit Furleigh Estate’s vineyard, just north of Bridport, for a guided taste of the Dorset grapes. Or, time your visit with the annual festival at Castlewood Vineyard.
- Paddleboard across Lyme Regis Bay – you can hire a board or book a lesson.
