  • An idyllic spot to escape, unwind and reconnect with nature

Enjoy a couple’s escape, solo adventure or family getaway in this exquisite little cabin with jaw-dropping views. Nestled in a rewilding field near Exeter, and with its own woodland to explore, it’s the perfect spot in which to reconnect with nature and enjoy the Devon countryside.

This unique escape is accessed via steps up to the front deck and then through its huge, triple-glazed doors. Tongue-and-groove walls and a timber floor add to the rustic atmosphere, but you have all mod cons for a comfortable holiday. There’s under-floor heating as well as a wood burner for cosy nights in - perhaps streaming a show on the Smart TV. Whip up a romantic supper in the kitchen, and enjoy the view from the fold-out dining table. The double bed is tucked away, with no space at the sides but reading lights above and views through the window - a cosy retreat! And there’s also a king-size bed in the roof space, accessed via a steep ladder and with low head height. At the back of the cabin is a stylish shower room with a spacious shower, WC and heated towel rail. Your private deck boasts outdoor seating and a BBQ, as well as panoramic views over sweeping farmland and a rugged woodland. Stroll out among the trees and you can forage for wood, light the fire pit and toast marshmallows as you watch the stars come out one by one.

It's just 6 miles from this idyllic retreat to the edge of Dartmoor National Park, where there are miles of scenic walks and a variety of pretty villages. For a bit of retail therapy, a great meal or some nightlife, the cathedral city of Exeter is just 3.5 miles, while the beach at Dawlish Warren is only 13 miles.

A delightful cabin tucked away in the countryside. Dont expect lots of indoor space but revel in your proximity to many trees, wild plants and friendly sheep.

The Kuhvee was such magical place to stay. The cabin was comfortable, cosy and well-equipped with everything we needed (and a lot of extra complimentary treats!) My wife and two children had a wonderful time in nature, surrounded by the most amazing Devonshire views-all to ourself! We enjoyed feeding the 3 friendly sheep, collecting firewood for niRead moreghtly campfires and enjoyed sitting out under the stars, toasting marshmallows & making yummy S'mores. Wonderful hosts, great cabin, lovely holiday!! Hide

Hi. I just wanted to leave a review and say what a great time we had at the Kuhvee Cabin. James and Anna were great. They welcomed us on arrival then James showed us around the Cabin. They also offered support via phone. There were two lovely welcome packs for us and the dog. Stark was very happy with his treats. The view from the Cabin is beautifuRead morel and so lovely to wake up too. The Cabin is smaller than I thought it would be, but it was still fine for the three is us. So no complaints at all. Hide

Anna and James have thought of pretty much everything you need for your stay. Incredibly welcoming and helpful yet unobtrusive. The bed was super comfy and shower was incredibly powerful - both big ticks from us!

This cottage is absolutely amazing, the views are incredible and you really are in the middle of nowhere. It was just what we hoped for; the log burner inside and the fire pit outside was the special touch for us. Overall, it was comfy and clean with a well equipped kitchen and there was a nice space for us to eat while watching the sunset. The hosRead morets Anna and James were very helpful and thoughtful, especially the goody basket which was left for us on arrival. We will 1000% be coming back!!! Hide

Fantastic! We loved it, brilliantly thought out. The lodge had everything we needed, and the hosts had thought of everything. They are proud of the lodge and every detail shows this. We had terrible weather, but sitting on the sofa looking out across the valley with the log burner on, we couldnt have been happier. Keep up the good work, and the 5 sRead moretar reviews will keep coming!!! Hide
