Dreamhuts Retreat

Features & Facilities

Huts are individually designed to have their own ambience but both feature underfloor heating, wood burner, hand-crafted kitchen area with full size oven hob and fridge, LCD TV, king-sized bed, en-suite shower room, and bedding and towels provided. One hut also has 2 single bunks, while the other has a double sofa bed. Each hut has its own private hot tub, firepit BBQ with pizza oven and outdoor dining area. There is a shared barrel sauna. In-house treatment and pamper packages available, including massage, facials, manicures and pedicures. Guests can also bring their horse with them for an additional charge, with stabling, turnout and guides for the local bridleways provided.

Activities

Dreamhuts Retreat is right on the edge of the Blackdown hills AONB and offers excellent walking (and mountain biking if you bing your own bikes). The traditional market town of Honiton is well worth a visit – the market is held along the wide High Street of this historic lace town every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday – while it takes just over half an hour to reach the cathedral city of Exeter (and the same amount of time to the nearest beach). Closer to home, the local bird of prey centre (3 miles; 01884 277297) is a novel attraction where you can try your hand at falconry. For history, try the National Trust-owned properties of Killerton House (7 miles) and Knightshayes Court (16 miles).

Food & Drink

Pre-order luxury welcome hampers, breakfast hampers and tasty BBQ hampers before you arrive at the site or check out the local pubs. There are three great spots within a 30 minute walk. The Keepers Cottage Inn (1¼ miles; 01884 266247) is closest, while Broadhembury (1½ miles) is home to a delightful tearooms and a good village shop for essentials, plus the second pub, The Drewe Arms (01404 841267). The third good local is the Wyndham Arms in Kentisbeare (1½ miles; 01884 266327) where there is also a village shop.
