Apple Blossom, Devon Heaven Hideaways, Kenn

About this property

This gorgeous shepherds hut is glamping at it's best - the perfect place for your next romantic getaway. Private, quiet, beautifully equipped, and spacious; all set within an idyllic countryside location that is literally minutes away from cosmopolitan Exeter.

Guests can look forward to top notch features too like underfloor heating, a fully equipped kitchen with electric hob, Belfast sink and breakfast bar, and a modern shower room with heated towel rail. A wood-burning stove keeps things toasty during the cooler months, and a TV with built-in DVD player means you can enjoy an evening in if you don't fancy venturing out. Wi-fi keeps you connected to the outside world, while a super comfy double bed complete with deep mattress and storage beneath offers the perfect spot for long and lazy lie-ins. The setting is pretty special too. Tucked away in the meadow of a South Devon farm, the surrounding landscape is lush, picturesque and tranquil – and if that weren’t idyllic enough, the hut overlooks the river Kenn as it meanders its way along the bottom of the garden. If you’re looking for a spot to enjoy the views and fresh air, a private patio with outdoor dining and bubbling hot tub is just the place, while the addition of a charcoal BBQ (which doubles as a firepit) means you’ll be able to relax in the sunshine while keeping an eye on lunch as it sizzles away.

There are terrific walks in the area as well as the lovely 13th Century Ley Arms pub where you can wine and dine your afternoons away however, Apple Blossom is also within striking distance of the South Hams with its long sandy beaches, tree-lined rivers, and of course towns like Totnes and Dartmouth just waiting to be explored. Within a 15-minute driving radius you can access the coast at Dawlish Warren or Teignmouth or hike the rugged tors and landscape of Dartmoor national park, or for something slightly more cosmopolitan, you can pop into Exeter for a dose of retail therapy and culture, and visit the charming town of Topsham (just 20 minute drive away) to browse independent boutiques, take afternoon tea and relish walks along the River Exe.

Whilst the property is pet friendly, we do recommend that pets are monitored at all times as the outdoors area is not fully enclosed.
