The Details
Tucked into the serene Devon countryside, Dittisham Hideaway offers a mix of stylish, unique stays that blend seamlessly with nature. The treehouses are pure childhood dreams brought to life — think suspended walkways, wraparound decks, and rustic-luxe interiors. For something a little different, the shepherd’s huts ooze country charm, while the American Airstream is a nostalgic slice of Americana with all the mod cons.
Each stay comes with a fully equipped kitchenette, an ensuite bathroom, and a private deck perfect for al fresco dining. Fire pits and BBQs come as standard — s'mores, anyone?
The surrounding area is brimming with things to do. Head down to the River Dart for paddleboarding or crabbing, hop on a ferry to Dartmouth, or wander over to Agatha Christie’s beloved Greenway House. For rainy days, you’re a short drive from Paignton Zoo, Woodlands Family Theme Park, or the fab beaches at Blackpool Sands.
