1 Bed Lodge in Ashprington

About this property

Find true tranquillity at this cosy retreat, surrounded by rolling countryside on the fringes of Totnes and the South Devon National Landscape. It’s perfect for a romantic couples’ escape. This wonderfully scenic location within the South Devon countryside is a haven for keen outdoor explorers, with a myriad of walks beginning from the doorstep and a local pub less than 0.5 miles away. Travel back in time aboard a heritage steam train at the award-winning South Devon Railway, 7 miles away; it’s a chance to admire the breathtaking scenery along the River Dart valley between Buckfastleigh (10 miles) and Totnes (3.5 miles). Explore one of the best-preserved examples of a Norman motte and bailey castle in the country at Totnes (3 miles) and enjoy fabulous views at the top of your climb to the keep, or a peaceful picnic in the grounds under the shelter of ancient trees.

With no TV or Wi-Fi, this is the ideal space to get away from everyday life and enjoy a digital detox. Walk through the private meadow and up the grassy hill to the top of the lane (approximately 100 metres), where you will find this stylish glamping retreat, featuring three separate areas. The first contains a full-sized shower and an adjacent sink area for washing up, as well as a chemical WC that is emptied for guests daily. Through the gated entrance is the cooking and dining area, equipped with a dual gas hob and a cool box, ideal for storing and preparing local produce. Completing the accommodation is a traditional shepherd's hut, which is full of country cottage charm and homely touches. You’ll find a cosy lounge and sleeping space, furnished with comfy armchairs, a wood burner and a plush double bed.

Enjoy your countryside views with your morning coffee or stargaze under the clear dark skies with a chilled drink in hand from the idyllic decked area, which features outdoor dining furniture and a BBQ. Stretch your legs with a walk around the surrounding meadow, home to hens, goats, and two miniature donkeys. At the bottom of the hill, private parking is available for two cars.
