  • Peaceful adults-only site with stunning views over Exmoor countryside
  • Dulverton 15 minutes’ drive and Quince Honey Farm 20 minutes
  • Dog-friendly cabins with private gardens; access to the Two Moors Way
Cosy and well-appointed adults-only cabins made for two – and their furry friends – await at Secret Skies Retreat, 15 minutes’ drive from the pretty market towns of Tiverton and South Molton in Devon. These romantic little hideaways each feature a smart kitchen with a Belfast sink, fridge, halogen hob, microwave, coffee machine and kettle. The ensuite bathrooms have full-height showers, and king-size beds take pride of place in the cabins, with a breakfast bar fitted neatly behind the headboards. You will wake up to spectacular views over private gardens to the fields and countryside beyond. Electric heaters warm the pods on chillier evenings, and thoughtful extras like towels, dressing gowns and slippers are provided along with hairdryers, complimentary coffee pods, tea, milk and sugar. The gardens each have a small patio area with a bistro set, firepit with a barbecue rack, an electric hot tub and a double camping chair; they are securely fenced for the safety of your dogs. Logs, kindling and firelighters are provided for the firepits; if you need more, refills will be provided for an extra charge. There are a couple of good pubs (booking essential) about 10 minutes’ drive away, and the cabins are only five minutes’ drive from the North Devon link road (A361), which gives access to fabulous North Devon beaches in around 45 minutes.
