The Den-style property is spacious enough to comfortably host four guests, featuring a one-bedroom cottage/appt with its own private entrance and master lock entry. A very comfy large double bed, a spacious lounge, and a dining area that seats four.

Various activities in the area include walking, hiking, cooking, swimming in the ocean, surfing, pony trekking, and canoeing in the river dart. The Den is a beautiful place to visit relatives or loved ones, or to simply rest and relax with a good book!

You can choose to cook in the kitchen at the Den or eat out at traditional local pubs, fancy restaurants, curry houses, Chinese or fish & chip shop takeaway all within walking distance. We recommend Rafiki's for a lovely brunch :) Riverfords Field Kitchen for something special & organic, or the beautiful new pizza van in Ashburton, within walking distance.
Pets are welcome to visit the Den too :-) To keep the Den beautifully clean we advise one per family, but do message otherwise!
