About this property
A hidden hideaway with views over the River Dart
Set in tranquil surroundings overlooking the historic market town of Totnes, this hillside hideaway is ideal for a couple planning to explore South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (aonb). The cabin enjoys spacious living areas and the use of a private garden, home to a hammock and even an outside bathtub for restorative soaks under the stars.
This bright and airy wooden cabin is trimmed with quirky soft furnishings which, combined with its functional layout, help to create a comfortable, homely atmosphere you might struggle to pull yourself away from. Curl up in the delightful lounge/kitchen/diner for lazy brunches, film matinees and romantic meals, before calling it a night and heading to the sanctuary of an en-suite double bedroom that enjoys lovely views of the surrounding landscape. The view is even better from the decked area within the enclosed private garden, offering a hammock for summer lazing, and a deep bathtub perfect for a dip before an al fresco supper.
The cabin stands within 1 mile of Totnes, a historic market town brimming with independent shops, pubs and eateries. A bridle path at the end of the garden takes you on the scenic route to the equally attractive village of Ashprington (2 miles), a fantastic introduction to the South Devon aonb that follows the River Dart to Dartmouth (13 miles). Here, you’ll find stunning coves, a castle and vibrant streets.

A great cabin experience, well set up and designed. Totnes a good place to be though walking access has to be considered. We are looking to go back.

Lovely view across Totnes and river from decking. Bath outside is unusual but I couldn’t resist it. Bed and sofa very comfortable, just what you need after a day exploring. Fairly steep slope with steps from car park to cabin so not suitable for infirm guests. TV in both bedroom and sitting area which was handy at times. Enjoyed our stay.

I had an enjoyable stay at Dart View Cabin. Donna and Nick were lovely hosts and the area is very peaceful and quiet. Totnes makes a great base for hiking and walks with good transport links to the coast.
