Some recent comments from our visitors: "What a stunning place to discover tucked away in a beautiful part of Devon! It is so close to the picturesque beaches, which the children were able to enjoy day after day being an easy ten minutes’ drive away. The Cabin itself is stylish and practical. We highly recommend and will be sure to return again soon!" "We loved our stay at The Cabin.. it was the perfect way for us all to unwind! The interior is beautifully decorated and so inviting to relax in, and the kitchen inspired us to cook great food too! You feel part of the outdoors both on the terrace amongst the treetops or inside, with the dappled sunlight making the whole place warm and luminous. The countryside is stunning and we loved exploring the river Dart and popping to the coast. It was always a real treat though, to return ‘home’ to The Cabin!" "Gara Mill is a beautifully-appointed treetop hideaway set in the glorious surroundings of a river valley. The large living area windows give a view over the trees and lead to a secluded decking area. The wood burner creates a cosy atmosphere on cooler days. Comfy beds and lovely décor give a feeling of luxury. There are loads of lovely places to explore nearby and we will definitely be back."
