Dittisham Hideaway

An exquisite collection of luxury treehouses, a gleaming American airstream, and artisan shepherd's huts, all with al fresco hot tubs and beautifully nestled in the scenic heart of Devonshire countryside.

If you were to close your eyes and imagine the perfect countryside idyll, it's likely you'll picture Dittisham Hideaway.

Overlooking a sun-dappled woodland valley just a mile from the shimmering River Dart, the enchanting, wildlife-steeped site is an ideal base from which to get lost in beautiful Devonshire countryside.

If you've got your family in tow, the striking, self-contained Treehouses - each one individually named after the local wildlife - each sleep up to two adults and three children (Pheasant and Owl also welcome your four-legged friend).

Soothing wooden finishing, toasty underfloor heating, and butter-soft fabrics all await you inside, along with a wood-burning stove for snuggly evenings in, a treat-stuffed welcome hamper, and not one but two en-suite bathrooms with power showers.

Outside there's a traditional wood-fired cedar hot tub to help you greet the sunset in style, with a hammock for lazy afternoon lounging, and a selection of outdoor games to keep the kids - big kids included! - busy.

Travelling as a couple? The 1956 classic American Airstream 1234 is an iconic, gleaming retreat that's privately secluded in a woodland corner. Here you can feast your eyes on spectacular views of Dartmoor's rolling hills, with birdsong and a gently running stream as your romantic soundtrack.

Fire up the barbecue for sizzling sunset suppers, before taking a stargazing dip in the Japanese oak wood-fired spa bath... what bliss! When it's finally time to turn in, you'll find the Airstream kitted out in retro style, with plenty of mod-cons, and gorgeous Egyptian cotton bed linen to snuggle into.

Last but by no means least, five bespoke, artisan-crafted Shepherd's Huts are each positioned in a wildflower meadow, to boast mesmerising views along the wooded valley.

Each sleeping two adults and one well-behaved dog, you'll be surrounded by designer fabrics and carefully made-to-measure furnishings, with a wood-burning stove and a kingsize double bed to help you feel as comfortable as possible.  

There's also an opulent bathroom with a double walk-in power shower, so you can freshen up in style after a long day of rambling through the countryside, while Adirondack loungers, a double hammock, and a dreamy wood-fired spa bath all greet you outside.

While you're free to explore the beautiful countryside and spectacular South Hams beaches to your hearts' content, if you don't feel like moving so much as a muscle, there's plenty to do right on site.

There's a games room and boules pitch for unleashing competitive spirits, a small vegetable garden from which you can pick fresh seasonal ingredients, and a circular dog walk that spans the Hideaway.

You could even arrange a luxurious massage, or treat yourselves to a mouth-watering feast whipped up by a private chef, adding an extra level of pampering to an already dreamlike stay.
