Set high above the historic market of Totnes and boasting superb views across the River Dart, this cosy two-person lodge is an idyllic escape for beach-goers and countryside wanderers. Inside, the cabin is eclectic, with a gorgeous enclosed garden, a peaceful hammock and a quirky roll-top bath that's perched on the decking. It’s overflowing with charm in the best possible way!
Enter this single-storey property and be wowed by the open-plan lounge/diner. Every turn has a unique feature, from the rustic wood panelling to the quirky furnishings, which makes it all the more appealing. All the furniture is pointed towards the French doors, so kicking back on the sofa means you can enjoy the views at the same time. Watch films on the TV before using the compact yet functional kitchen to whip up a cosy meal for two and enjoy indoors or outdoors. This kitsch base continues with a comfortable bedroom, with access to the decking and a contemporary en-suite shower room. Spend lots of time out on the decking, with a long soak in the feature roll-top bath or get stuck into a good book while swinging away in the hammock.
The property reflects Totnes’ artistic spirit, which you can admire in detail when you make your way into town to experience its bohemian atmosphere and independent shops. There’s also an 11th-century castle to visit. Head to the wild, rugged beauty of Dartmoor National Park (8 miles), where the scenery is breathtaking, and the hiking routes are endless. You’ll have the best of both worlds, as you can also venture down to the seaside for a lovely afternoon at Blackpool Sands, Paignton, Torquay and Brixham, which are all within 19 miles.
