Wowzers this time of year is beautiful! It’s been all change this week - clocks changing meaning dark, cosy evenings and lighter mornings, beautiful sunlight and the trees turning wonderful shades of yellow, orange and red. This stunner is in our field - the perfect spot for a walk or a morning cuppa.

That’s us! ❤️

Springtime!!

We are finding that the way people book their holidays has changed. It used to be that people planned all breaks in advance but a lot of our bookings are very last minute now (we had one an hour before arrival the other day!).

We would always advise getting your booking in if you might want school holidays or specific dates, but if you’re a spontaneous kind of traveller, we have some March/April availability (including some school holiday nights!). The flowers are blooming and there are many signs of Spring on the way!

27/02/2024

Oh how these little pops of colour bring the feeling of Spring! We’ve had a run of bookings these past few days - people saying goodbye to the Winter months and planning ahead for the rest of the year.

If you have questions about our two lovely properties or would like to book head to our website (link in bio) or pop us a message.

Looking for a family holiday where there is plenty of space to relax - huge dining table and kitchen area with a comfy living area alongside? We have lots of books and games if you fancy a screen break too!

Outside you have your own private garden with hot tub and double hammock, and beyond that five acres to explore in our growing woodland area. The pond is a lovely spot for a morning cuppa or an evening drink too…

The Milkshed sleeps 4 (plus cot) and we have a little Hideaway for 2 if you have teenage children or if you want to bring the grandparents along.

SPRING IS ON THE WAY…

The sight of snowdrops is always and without fail a relief - to know that Spring is on the way feels so positive and cheering. Seeing this smattering of snowdrops in the lane opposite The Milkshed was a welcome sight this morning!

If you fancy a Spring break, we have some March - April dates available (May is filling fast so you’ll have to be quick if you’d like to come then!).

Looking for a retreat?

Our Hideaway is a beautiful spot to relax, switch off, unwind and re-energise. It is peaceful with lovely Devon countryside views down towards our wild life pond. As our guests, you are welcome to roam our five acres if you wish.

Put some chilled music on our record player, practise some yoga, read a book, chill with your partner (or on your own) or catch up on sleep, reading, mindfulness or time together. We provide the space, you choose how to use it.

Minimum two-night stay throughout the year with availability in most months of 2024. Book in your ‘you time’ now so you can look forward to it.

The master bedroom in The Milkshed is a lovely, light-filled room with high ceilings and a white and pale grey colour scheme. We have been told by many, many guests how comfortable the king sized bed (and Egyptian cotton bedding) is, and some have even asked for details of the mattress so they can buy one for home.

When putting the Hideaway in, we made sure to buy the same mattress (double) so that guests could have equally as good a night sleep in there and we have had no complaints so far!

Coming away on holiday should mean relaxation and having a good night’s sleep is very much part of that in our book!

Both The Milkshed and The Hideaway have their own private hot tubs - whilst many of our clients love them for stargazing with a glass of bubbles, a morning hot tub can be just as lovely. This is our Hideaway hot tub yesterday morning with the sun rising up into the sky just to the right. The only sound being the gentle ripple of water and some friendly bird song. A perfect relaxation spot!

Our resident ducks having a stroll and enjoying the sunshine. Volume up for cute duck sounds!! 🦆

Nothing says Springtime more than the combination of melodic birdsong and wriggling tadpoles!

Wood delivery day! Today saw our wood arrive - always a great relief as our whole property relies on this to fuel our biomass boiler for the hot water and central heating. We have planted over 3500 trees on our property since we moved here 10 years ago and these will one day fuel our biomass! Thanks very much to @the_log_store_group !

Such a joy to see some Spring sunshine today at Milkshed (and over at the Hideaway)! Blue sky makes our heart sing!! March availability is as follows: MILKSHED Mon 6th March (short break) Mon 13th March (short break) Fri 31st March (week or short break) HIDEAWAY Mon 6th March - Fri 17th March - min 2 nights, check-in possible any day apart from Sunday We would love to welcome you to our very special corner of Devon!

So VERY honoured to have been chosen for a proposal this weekend - our Hideaway is such a lovely romantic retreat and we designed it for switching off from screens, spending time together and stargazing in the gorgeous hot tub. Wishing our lovely couple a lifetime of love, health and happiness!!

Utterly gorgeous Devon! What a beautiful Autumn day it was today - such a lovely break from all the rain and wind we’ve had of late. This was Budleigh Salterton, about 30 mins drive from The Milkshed and it’s Hideaway. The sea air always does good!

Well, we have certainly had our fair share of rain in the past couple of days. It is safe to say that our streams are now flowing beautifully and our pond is full to capacity… it has taken a fair while after such a dry Summer but we are back on track!

Our little Hideaway is proving SO popular. We’ve barely had an empty night in there since it opened in Spring. A couple of our bookings have booked just an hour or two before arrival - including our current guests who arrived last night in the dark after booking at 5pm. We hope they enjoy the lovely views they will wake up to! If you are a spontaneous traveller, we have availability for 2 or 3 nights from this coming Monday.

Evening light and lots of feathers!

Loving reading the amazing feedback we are getting from couples staying in our Hideaway - it is the perfect retreat for a few days unwinding… Next availability: Mon 5th Sept - 2/3 nights

Beautiful Branscombe beach - just a short drive from The Milkshed. We are often asked for recommendations for beaches and this one is definitely on our favourites list!
