Unique Luxury 2 Level Rural Shepherds Hut Cabin

Ash, Dartmouth, Devon

Oak Tree Lodge is a distinctive accommodation option located in the hamlet of Ash, near Dartmouth in Devon, South West England. This luxury lodge, categorized as a 'Shepherd's Hut,' offers a unique retreat for up to four guests. Nestled within the grounds of Clotted Cream Cottage and surrounded by hedges and a fence, it provides a private outdoor space while being conveniently situated just minutes from popular beach destinations like Blackpool Sands and Slapton. The lodge can be rented independently or in conjunction with Clotted Cream Cottage, making it ideal for families or couples seeking a tranquil getaway in a picturesque countryside setting.

The lodge is thoughtfully designed over two levels, featuring a cozy living area on the ground floor that includes a fully fitted kitchen, a shower room, and a lounge area with a sofa that converts into a queen-size bed. Additionally, there is a proper single devan bed with a pull-out feature, cleverly concealed by a privacy curtain. A spiral staircase leads to an upper level that houses another double bed and a whimsical 'Kids Only' den, accessible via a push-along wooden car, complete with an Xbox and various games, catering to younger guests' entertainment needs.

Privacy is a key feature of Oak Tree Lodge, as it has its own entrance and is separated from Clotted Cream Cottage by a secure fence. This allows for independent rentals of both properties without compromising the enjoyment of outdoor spaces. While guests can choose to book Clotted Cream Cottage for larger gatherings or family vacations, the lodge itself is best suited for those looking for a peaceful retreat. It is important to note that dogs are not permitted in Oak Tree Lodge without prior approval, and the property is not suitable for stag or hen parties, ensuring a serene atmosphere for all visitors.

Guests can expect a rural experience with occasional farm traffic due to the lodge's proximity to a working dairy farm, though the sounds of nature, such as mooing cows and chirping birds, are typically the only noise heard. The area offers cultural highlights, including Dartmouth Museum and the Golden Hind, along with attractions like Woodlands Family Theme Park and Slapton Ley Field Centre. For those interested in horticulture and history, nearby sites such as Coleton Fishacre House & Gardens and Greenway House and Garden provide additional opportunities for exploration and enjoyment during their stay.
