Gorgeous Scandi-style cabin in the woods, close to sandy beaches and seaside towns (sleeps 4)
Space & setting.
Live out your hygge fantasy in this cosy cabin on Devon’s stunning south coast. Inside, it’s all earthy tones, rustic textures and warm wood accents. The lounge is particularly cocooning, thanks to floor-length curtains and a perfectly worn leather sofa next to a well-stocked wood-burning stove. Sheepskin throws and hand-poured natural candles are the icing on the cosy cake while in the master bedroom a beautiful oval bathtub invites long luxurious soaks; leave the window open and listen to birdsong as you read.
Tucked away in a wooded valley beside a little river, it’s the perfect balance of off-the-beaten-track without being totally isolated. Totnes and Dartmouth offer colourful markets, indie cafés and art galleries, and you’re only a short drive from some of Devon’s best beaches; Blackpool Sands is the closest, a huge swathe of sand that’s often empty outside high season. Come for a creative retreat and browse the owner’s selection of crafts and interiors books, hole up à-deux for a romantic weekend or bring the kids for an activity-packed holiday in the West Country.
