Step into the cabin through the enclosed porch and the cabin is exclusively yours for your stay. From your king-sized bed, you will be able to watch the sun set over the valley, and watch buzzards flying over the field in front of you. If you are lucky, you might see deer grazing, or the field foxes or even a badger. You will find all modern amenities in the cabin, mixed with up -cycled gems like corrugated iron. Our aim was to create a comfortable modern space within a rural structure and provide sustainable means of power , light and water, without compromising on facilities expected from a holiday home. All the materials used were to be of a rural Devon source, pre owned , up cycled and reclaimed . The walls are part render, corrugated iron and pallet wood with a wall of windows to the front capturing views of Dartmoor and the stunning sunsets. A unique beech floor rescued from a gym adds individuality to the space. The sitting area has comfortable sofas and a log burning stove with enough supplied wood to keep you comfortable during your stay. ( extra wood can be purchased at £ 12 a dustbin )to create a warm and relaxing atmosphere. There is a compact dining area with table and chairs to enjoy a meal on. A generous sized shower room with hot and cold shower, plumbed toilet and plumbed basin add to everyday comfort. The kitchen with all that is needed to prepare meals including crockery and cutlery, pots and pans and a gas cooker, means that guests can be totally self contained , and the kitchen even has a standard fridge. We provide freshly ground coffee, tea and sugar and complimentary milk in the fridge. We deliberately do not have a tv in the cabin or WiFi. Outside and apart from the views already mentioned is an outdoor dining area and barbecue space. We can provide a barbeque and charcoal for £ 12 payable on arrival, or bring a disposable one with you. There is intentionally no vehicle access to maintain the wild feel to this unique experience, so parking is by the swimming pond. Infants are welcome as are well behaved dogs ( no dogs or infants in the water allowed ) . (please just check with me first before booking )we make a charge of £ 12 per night for a dog guest or infant. Payable at time of booking. If the dates you need are not available, why not check out my other cottage listing on the same property: Guest access Once on the property, follow the signs to " Foxes Den "and park in the purpose-built gravel parking area. I have intentionally ensured that there is no parking in the immediate area outside the cabin to preserve the seclusion and 'hideaway' aspects of the cabin. It also means that wildlife are much more likely to be seen You might find it helpful to bring a torch too. Other things to note Foxes den is very much a one off , off grid experience. comfort and the eco aspect are a large part of the cabin. Recycled materials are used throughout. In order to be able to offer this experience to all our guests, we have a low base price at at any time . Guests can then add from a priced menu of enhancements to suit their comfort needs. For example, extra wood above the wood provided for the log burner can be purchased by the bin load to give those guests requiring it a higher interior temperature. We do have 2 pets, but they are not allowed in the accommodation. There is Dottie the Dalmatian, a loveable friendly playful bundle of fun. We also have a ginger tabby named captain Jack livingstone Stanley but you will be lucky if you can find him before he finds you. We do not have fenced garden areas for dogs, we expect guests to keep dogs within the area of the cabin or on a lead. All dog waste must be collected and left in the waste bin at the top of the drive . As a long time rural Devon local .von local, there is not much that I don't know about this area. A unique service I can offer is personalised Devon tours. Some of my most popular tours are spooky Dartmoor tours, taking in spots of ghostly happenings and Dartmoor prison and also Dartmoor sightseeing trips, all with time for swimming and feeding the famous Dartmoor ponies. I charge for these trips at a daily rate and will be happy to tailor something to your specifications! Just let me know if you are interested.
