About this property

Torrington 3 miles. Tarka Trail 1/4 miles. Tarka’s Holt Log Cabin is a detached log cabin set just away from the main courtyard on the Stowford Lodge Holiday development, amidst the rural beauty of Devon. Enjoying a slightly private setting whilst still benefitting from the parkland and on-site facilities, this log cabin is the perfect escape for a family looking to explore this wonderful part of Devon. After a day of wandering the countryside, kick off your walking boots and retire to the sofa, browsing the Freeview TV for your favourite channels. Cross the threshold into the kitchen, a well-equipped space housing everything for a week away, including an electric oven and gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and even a washing machine so you can stay top of your laundry. Escape to the private veranda for a soak in the hot tub, gazing over the parkland and appreciating the peace and quiet. The master bedroom houses a double bed with en-suite shower room, whilst there is also a twin and a single to enjoy. All this and more awaits at Tarka’s Log Cabin. Stowford Lodge is safe and ideal for individual and extended families who can have their own base whilst enjoying special times together.
