Hidden amongst the deep lanes of West Devon is a pretty and private 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 little woodland treat set in two acres of woodland, in one of the least light-polluted areas in England. The site is open year round, and is private and south facing with a delightful stream babbling away - perfect for paddling. Located just eight miles from Dartmoor, we are surrounded by heavenly countryside
with walks taking in a proper local pub and pretty Devon villages. The site is owned by Jo Henderson and Ben Ranson, founders of Barrel Top Wagons
making 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 foot print. Power is supplied by solar, toilets are dry, and grey water is treated through reed beds. Much is done to encourage wildlife and biodiversity.
We're proud as punch of where we live, and keen as mustard to introduce you to the delights on offer in the area. Lovely local produce can be ordered - breakfast, barbecue or afternoon tea hampers.
The kitchen garden bursts into life in summer, and we love supplying guests with home grown goodies whenever possible.
With no WiFi or phone signal, this is the perfect place to escape from this sometimes crazy world, to stop, breathe, read, rest, walk, eat 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:
