Devon Heaven Hideaways

Luxury Riverside Retreats with Hot Tubs in Devon

A collection of secluded cabins and shepherd huts beside the River Kenn, combining hot tubs, wellness-focused touches and peaceful meadow settings close to the Devon coast.

Set within a meadow on a working farm in South Devon, this collection of luxury cabins and shepherd huts offers a more restorative kind of countryside stay. Positioned in secluded spots beside the River Kenn, each retreat has been carefully designed around comfort, privacy and slower living close to nature.

Leading the collection is The Hideaway, a spacious two-bedroom luxury cabin with hot tub and sauna, new for 2026 and ideal for couples wanting more space or small family stays. On a different part of the farm, sit three individually positioned shepherd huts – Willow, Apple and Cherry Blossom – each offering their own private outdoor space and a more intimate setting for two.

Across the collection, guests can expect hot tubs, log burners, and outdoor spaces designed for properly switching off, with the Devon coast, countryside and Exeter all within easy reach. Whether visiting for a romantic Devon retreat, a wellness escape or simply a quieter few days away, the setting lends itself naturally to slowing down and settling into a gentler pace.

Romantic Breaks in Devon

The secluded meadow setting, riverside location and slower pace of life make Devon Heaven Hideaways particularly well suited to romantic stays. Whether choosing one of the shepherd huts for a cosy couples’ escape or settling into the additional space offered by The Hideaway, the experience naturally encourages guests to switch off and spend time together.

Days can be spent exploring the nearby Devon coast, wandering countryside footpaths or simply staying put and enjoying the setting at a gentler pace. As evening draws in, the atmosphere shifts towards outdoor living – hot tubs beneath dark skies, firepit evenings, wood burners glowing indoors and quieter moments away from everyday routines.

For couples looking to reconnect, rest properly and enjoy a more private kind of escape, the combination of wellness-focused features and secluded surroundings creates a stay that feels calm, comfortable and intentionally unhurried.

Wellness & Relaxation

Wellbeing sits naturally at the centre of the experience at Devon Heaven Hideaways, where the combination of riverside surroundings, outdoor living and quieter spaces encourages guests to properly slow down.

Across the hideaways, wellness is approached in a relaxed and informal way – from mornings spent beside the river with coffee in hand to evenings moving between the hot tub, sauna or cold plunge beneath open skies. The setting itself becomes part of the experience, with meadow views, fresh air and the gentle movement of the River Kenn adding to the sense of calm throughout the stay.

At The Hideaway, the infrared sauna and dedicated wellness spaces create an even more restorative atmosphere, while Willow’s cold plunge and outdoor shower offer a refreshing contrast to evenings spent in the hot tub.

Rather than feeling overly structured, the experience here is simply about having the space to unwind at your own pace – whether that means slower mornings, long evenings outdoors or a few uninterrupted days away from everyday routines.
