The place
The Hide doesn't just give you access to Devon and Dorset's beautiful coast and countryside, it puts you right in the middle of it. Even underneath it, if you count the turf roof. Becks and Joe have created a space that harnesses its surroundings while barely laying a finger on them through a dedication to sustainable building and sourcing. The result is a place where you and your dog can truly switch off, and let nature into your life. Breakfast on the big outdoor beechwood bar in front of serene views. Spend the day on one of several local dog-friendly beaches or hiking the nearby Jurassic Coast Path, before hitting the local pub for dinner and climbing the hill back to light the fire pit and look at the stars.
In the neighbourhood
- There are great walks and wildlife around the cabin itself, just pick a direction! But Nature Reserves Shute Woods (10 mins), Hembury Fort (20 mins) and Trinity Hill (20 mins) provide you many more options?
- The Kings Arms in Stockland, three-minute drive. The owners’ local and very dog friendly, open seven days a week serving good food and regular live music. A real community pub which they strongly recommend booking in advance!
- Goren Farm, four-minute drive. A heavenly wildflower farm open for cream teas and homemade cider, among other things. Perfect for a lazy day stroll with the dog
- The Holt, a 15-minute drive. A dog-friendly restaurant and smokehouse in Honiton, the owners thoroughly recommend it, not just because they own and run it themselves! They warmly welcome dogs in the downstairs section.??
