Why we love it

Tucked in the trees in East Devon National Landscape, explore miles of beautiful walks with the dog and enjoy starry evenings in the hot tub


"Little oak was a peaceful, magical haven"

If we could give it twenty stars we would! Little Oak was a peaceful, magical haven. The cabin is completely on its own so you are away from everything. We were provided an arrival dog hamper complete with everything you need and a long line lead outside. We left feeling completely relaxed and content. We will be back!

The place

Whether you’re sat on the outdoor sofas, the al fresco table, or just simmering away in the hot tub the dog has the whole deck to lounge upon whilst you enjoy yourself. And if you’ve got a hound with good recall, the open garden is perfect to sniff around and explore. Inside, there’s more than you’ll need to have a few amazing days away in Devon – whether that’s relaxing away the days in the cabin, or exploring the coast with an eager dog to drag you along the South West Coast Path. You and the dog can spend an evening staring up at the stars from the firepit, or watching the logs crackle in the wood burner.
