The Great Outward

The Great Outward: Devon

Fancy a romantic getaway with a twist? This upside-down home places a firelit living area above the bedroom, where the en-suite bathtub enjoys a framed view of the creek. Upstairs, we think the waterside terrace might inspire a paddle to Salcombe – made easy by the three-seater kayak your host provides. It's worth noting that there is a bit of a hike to the front door here (thirty-six steps, to be precise), so this home won't be the best option for everyone.

Home truths:
*The bedroom has a partially open-plan en-suite bathroom with minimal privacy, but the shower is located in an adjoining room. The toilet is separate.
*There are thirty-six steps leading to the front door here. It might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
*There’s free off-road parking for up to two cars beside this home.
*Your host provides complimentary logs for the wood burner.
*With direct water access, you'll receive a triple kayak and buoyancy aids to use during your stay. Running mooring is available, please enquire for further details.
*Only one hand towel and one bath towel are provided per person here, so you might want to bring your own for longer stays.
