Overview
Property code: OC-JBRETR
Set in the grounds of the owner’s estate, this pet-friendly glamping pod is a wonderful place to escape and enjoy simple living in a peaceful, rural environment. Sleeping two guests and welcoming two beloved pups, it’s ideal for romantic getaways or solo adventures – with man’s best friend by your side. Set within the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, spend your days enjoying coastal strolls and countryside walks, and return here for lazy afternoons in the sunny garden.

Set within a mature garden dotted with fruit trees, this delightful cabin is both stylish and deliciously cosy. A few steps lead up to a terrace, where twin chairs look over the surrounding countryside – the perfect spot for your morning cuppa! Inside, the open-plan living space offers everything you and your pack could wish for. Rustle up simple meals in the compact kitchenette, savour meals for two around the dining table, and enjoy cosy evenings snuggled on the sofa watching a film. When it’s time to rest your head, get comfy under the covers of the double bed, tucked away behind the sofa. A small shower room completes the accommodation. In warm weather, make the most of the glorious garden with twin sunbeds, a gas-fired BBQ and a small bistro table just for you.

Rise and shine with morning walkies in the surrounding fields and woodland, or hop in your car to the Jurassic Coast to wander dramatic coastal trails. Curious canines will love the seaside town of Seaton (7 miles) where fascinating cliffs tell the story of the Jurassic period and parts of the beach welcome playful pups all year. The entire pack is sure to love a trip on the Seaton Tramway, with sublime views of the Axe Valley.
