There’s nothing but you and the sea at this stunning cabin in its own secluded Devon bay. Ok, so there’s a little more to this place than a private beach – like a wood-fired hot tub on the deck and a fire pit for star-speckled nights away from the city. It may be a cosy, compact cabin, but there’s a full kitchen inside and hanging hammock chairs are perfectly positioned to gaze at the sea view. Leave your worries (and your car and your phone signal) at the clifftop before making the fifteen-minute walk along a steep, narrow trail that keeps this home secluded and secret.

Home truths
While its location in a secluded cove is undeniably amazing, access is via a steep, narrow path. It's a fifteen-minute walk from the car park spot at the neighbouring farm, so bear this in mind when packing. Sturdy footwear is recommended.
Due to the difficult access, solo occupancy and under 18s are not permitted.
Designed to be a complete retreat, there is no WiFi, 4G and very limited phone signal here.
The bed is accessed via a ladder, so this place would not suit those with limited mobility.
Logs are provided and there is an axe to break up collected driftwood too.
