• General information

  Experience luxury and charm in the heart of the Devonshire countryside. Just a mile from the waters' edge of the beautiful River Dart, overlooking a private sun-dappled wooded valley, sits the stunning Dittisham Hideaway. The hideaway is just outside the picturesque village of Dittisham and a 10-minute drive to the scenic port of Dartmouth in South Devon. This is the ideal location for enjoying a relaxing time away.

• Accommodation

  The hand crafted shepherd's lodges are great for couples wanting a peaceful getaway. Located in the old meadow, the lodges are each exquisitely designed and fitted with a cosy king size bed. Inside there is also a lounge area to relax, a foldaway breakfast bar, a traditional wood-burning stove and a bathroom with a walk-in power shower. Families can also opt to stay in the six person shepherd's lodge. Parents can sleep comfortably in the main hut whilst up to four children under 16 can stay in the mini adjoining lodge, fitted with two single bunk beds. You can also rest easy as the mini lodge is linked by a camera/sound intercom for peace of mind.

  Outside all of the shepherd's lodges, you will also have your own private terrace with an outdoor wood fired hot tub, loungers, dining table, chairs with a parasol, a fire pit and a double hammock. You will also have access to the communal games barn which includes table tennis, chess or table football.

  The treehouses are perfect for a hideaway amongst the canopy. Sleeping up to two adults and three children (under 16), the tree houses each have a king sized bedroom, along with a children's triple bunk bedroom and two bathrooms with power showers. Inside you will have a cosy lounge with a wood burning stove and underfloor heating, ideal for chilling on the sofa and watching a film together on the smart TV. There is also a fully equipped kitchen with a Nespresso coffee maker and a small herb garden on your balcony, perfect for home cooking.

  The restored 1956 vintage American Airstream is tucked away in a secluded area of the site in a private woodland setting. The interior is in-keeping with the retro feel but with modern appliances including a sound system, combination oven, fridge, ice box, dishwasher, power shower, and even underfloor heating and air conditioning. There is also a comfortable sofa, breakfast bar and stools, a fitted kitchen and a bathroom. Outside is a private storage cabin with a washing machine/drier. Both the treehouses and the Airstream also have a large deck with a dining table, chairs, a parasol, a BBQ, sun loungers, a double hammock, outdoor chess and table football, and a wood fired hot tub.

  Inside each of the accommodation options, there will also be WiFi, Egyptian cotton bed linen, towels, essential toiletries and a large bag of logs.

  We have prepared a hamper to settle you in, packed with some treats, enough for welcome tea/coffee & nibbles, with the inclusion of bread, butter & Jam. As well as a complimentary bottle of wine for you to enjoy on a warm sunny afternoon or cosy winter evening by the fire.

  Fires are allowed in the fire pits and to fuel the wood fired hot tubs.

  Two small dogs, or one large dog, are welcome in both the shepherd's lodges and the treehouses, but not in the pet free options or the Airstream.
