Hidden amongst the deep lanes of West Devon is an extraordinary, off-grid sanctuary.
Designed to offer cosy and comfortable, year round accommodation, Devon Dens comes complete with
two extraordinary solid timber cabins, sleeping up to four and six.
This peaceful retreat is surrounded by woodland, wildlife and starry skies, close to Dartmoor
and within easy reach of incredible beaches. So, if you're seeking a tech-free break
enjoying local walks, somewhere to use as a base from which to explore this amazing area, or
just looking for time to sit, read and listen to the stream and birdsong, then Devon Dens will
delight you.
As seen in the Guardian "15 of the best off-grid places to stay in the UK"
Devon Dens is a private eco-hideaway set in two acres of woodland in the quiet, unspoilt
countryside of West Devon. The site is owned by Jo Henderson and Ben Ranson, founders of Barrel Top Wagons
who make remarkable timber structures from sustainable local wood.
The eco ethos runs through both businesses, and Devon Dens is run very much with an intention
for guests to holiday with a light carbon foot print. The sun provides power, toilets are dry
with natural water filtration systems, all waste is composted and there's bee hives and a
wildlife pond to encourage biodiversity.
We're keen as mustard to introduce you to the delights on offer in the area. Lovely local
produce can be ordered in advance - breakfast, barbecue or afternoon tea hampers - and in
summer, our kitchen garden provides home grown goodies whenever possible. If it's calmness you
seek, we can arrange an onsite massage or there's the wood fired sauna to enjoy, before relaxing
in one of the hammocks or curling up with one of the many books in front of the wood burner.
With no WiFi or phone signal, this is the perfect place to stop still, breathe deeply, and
reconnect. With nature, with loved ones and WITH YOURSELF.
This sweet wooden cabin sleeps up to four (five at a push if there are small ones and you're happy to cosy up - just ask) with an amazing outdoor shower, private compost loo, fantastic fire pit area with log table, and everything you need for a stress free, tech-free break.
Here's what's in The Den:
Our super, new off-grid cabin is now ready to welcome guests. Sleeping up to six in a double bedroom, on the mezzanine and on a double sofa bed, with an indoor bathroom, spacious living area, kitchenette, fancy pants solar set up and private decking area for the all-important fire pit.
This beautiful space looks out over the pond and reed beds, with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing, digital detox.
