A dreamy escape on an adults-only organic farm site, with a wood-fired hot tub, soothing Somerset countryside views, and an award-winning gastropub in easy walking distance.
  • Sleeps: 2
  • Bedroom: 1
  • Bathroom: 1
  • Minimum stay: 2/4 nights

Beautifully located on the border that links Somerset, Devon, and Dorset, Hinton Hideaways boasts a selection of adults-only, south-facing escapes that feel like home… with idyllic countryside views, abundant wildlife, and a woodland sauna to relax in!

Their newest addition is Owl Cabin, a sumptuous couples’ retreat, crafted from silvered wood and a shingled roof that melt effortlessly into the mesmerising woodland backdrop.

Step inside the spacious, light-filled retreat, to discover an elegant blend of quirky upcycled furnishings, with luxuries that include a soft-glowing log burner, a fully equipped kitchen, and an opulent rain-head shower.

The cosy lounge is perfect for unwinding together in front of the TV with a glass of wine, or simply enjoying a good book from the leather club chair.

If you really must catch up on work, there’s even a handy desk and Wi-Fi that can be used for sending those important emails – though be warned, you may find the rolling, uninterrupted country views from the window to be a little distracting!

Rustle up country feasts in the aforementioned kitchen, which comes complete with a hob, oven, and those all-important holiday essentials, a microwave and dishwasher… or head out to your private garden, and fire up the barbecue instead.

While you’re outside, it would surely be rude not to welcome the sunset with a dip in your wood-fired hot tub, so why not pop open a bottle of bubbles and relax until the stars come out?

More information

When it’s finally time to turn in, simply head upstairs to your downy, Egyptian cotton-dressed kingsize bed, and drift away to a sound, silent night’s sleep.

Rise to a joyous chorus of birdsong, as you plan your day over morning coffee. If you’re lucky, you may also be able to spot grazing deer, or a buzzard swooping overhead.

If you’re not keen to leave the site – and why would you be? – you can book an indulgent session in the infra-red woodland sauna, which boasts wondrous views of the abundant bird life. To feel perfectly refreshed, simply finish off your session with an invigorating outdoor shower!

There’s plenty to see and do in the local area, including the spectacular Jurassic coastline, and the chocolate box village of Hinton St George, with its thatched cottages and 15th century church.

But if you don’t want to stray too far, the award-winning Lord Poulett Arms gastropub is in easy walking distance. With its romantic open fires and flagstone floors, it’s the perfect spot for a delectable meal you didn’t have to prepare yourselves!
