An idyllic retreat for escaping the world, Perry Pond Cabin is beautifully secluded by a stream-fed wildlife pond with its very own small waterfall, on a 23-acre farm.

Committed to sustainability, the farm’s owners Tom and Suzie farm their land organically, as well as planting new woodland, re-planting hedges, and creating new wildlife ponds. This means you’ll be treated to superlative natural views that lead your gaze over the soaring, wooded Exe Valley hills, right from the comfort of the cabin’s private deck.

You’ll also find the solar-powered retreat furnished with vibrant colours, sumptuous fabrics, and striking original features (including a glorious Mughal arch) inspired by Tom and Suzie’s travels through India: a country they both fell instantly in love with and still visit regularly.

And as if all that wasn’t quite enough, you’ll also have an al fresco roll top bathtub to luxuriate in as the sun sets, glass of bubbles in hand as you listen to the rushing of the waterfall and the myriad sounds of wildlife.

Perfect for a romantic couple, there’s a downy kingsize bed to curl up in as the owls hoot their nightly lullabies, and a soft-glowing woodburner to warm evenings snuggled up on the sofa.

(Why not crack open a board game, or simply pour another glass of wine as you get lost in the kind of deep, laughter-fuelled conversations you never seem to find time for at home?)

Holiday facilities, meanwhile, include a well-equipped kitchen – though on balmy evenings, you’re bound to prefer cooking a sizzling supper on the barbecue firepit! – and an indulgent shower room with toiletries, robes, and fluffy towels all provided.
