Filled with interesting finds, antiques and artefacts, this is a charming cabin hideaway for couples on the banks of the Kingsbridge Ria

This idyllic waterfront retreat perched on the banks of the creek is a haven from the hustle and bustle of life. Once you turn off the road running between Kingsbridge and Dartmouth you'll feel miles from anywhere. Originally a boathouse, the interiors have been transformed into a rustic-chic bolthole, all deep navy blues, elegant mahogany and brass fittings.

You might find it tricky to pull yourself away from the squishy window seat, handily positioned near the roaring wood-burner, with its mesmerising watery views over the Kingsbridge Ria. Owner Miranda has filled the cabin with discovered treasures, antiques and curios, plus books and games for rainy days. The kitchen is top-notch and you climb a small staircase to your en suite bedroom.

Step out to your terrace to listen to the water and birdsong, take the ladder down to the shore and kayak to Kinsgbridge for lunch, return and spend the evening telling stories by the firepit.

You’ll hit the unique sweet spot of feeling like you’re a million miles from anywhere - a place where no one will find you - and yet have every convenience at your fingertips.
The centre of South Devon’s Foodie Heaven. On our doorstep, Kingsbridge, we have Jane Baxter’s Wild Artichokes & 27, a restaurant by a Chef of the Year. Authentic pubs: The Journey’s End, Ringmore & The Cott, Dartington, winner, UK Pub of the Year.
You can watch the tide ebb and flow, whatever the weather, from the comfort of the window seat or deck loungers. Paddle out on our kayaks to a local pub and explore the Kingsbridge Ria.
Between a Boutique Vineyard & Artisan Distillery? Calancombe Estate offers a cellar door experience: wine tastings, lunch & tours of the vineyard. Their creamy bubbly rivals Champagne. Make your own bespoke Gin at the Salcombe Gin School
Individual market towns with independent characters. Totnes: bohemian and full of independent stores & coffee shops, Kingsbridge: farm shop provisions and everything you need. Ashburton: antique Mecca.
You’re never far from the relaxing effects of being by the water, whether riverside walks straight the cabin, wild sea swimming in the morning sun with a coffee afterwards from a beach cafe or taking in sections of the coastal footpath.
