Resting on the slopes of a small vale outside of Combe Martin, Valentine’s Orchard is named for the small orchard that it borders on the site of Truckham Farm. Starting with its sister cabin 100 metres away, Skylark, owner Nicola has focused on creating spaces with creativity and eco-consciousness as their focus. No matter where you are in Valentine’s Orchard, you’ll see that focus, when you’re admiring the wooden beams above the wood burner whilst you snuggle up, or when you look out over the gentle slopes from your cosy linens in bed.

On the very western half of Exmoor National Park, you’re just three miles from Combe Martin Beach and the South West Coastal path, and in 20 minutes or so, you could be at another award-winning beach – Woolacombe, or just heading further into Exmoor. With huge windows looking out on your own tiny valley in front of the large desk, this could be an incredible place to work remotely for a while, though you’d inevitably want more free time. With wifi onsite, plenty of space to breeze about, and cooking facilities that’d make a house jealous – Valentine’s Orchard shows off what glamping is supposed to be like.

  • The Led Zeppelin

    • 2 nights min stay

    If you went out in 1986 with some Wham! on your Walkman, looking for the finest motorhome money could buy, this is what you would have come home driving. Owner John, who spent his 20s tinkering with VWs was blown away when he found this airstream and lovingly restored it, keeping the original character while adding a few modern touches and positioning it perfectly to make the most of this beautiful part of Devon. Hobs and a microwave have been added to the kitchen and DVD player to the retro feel of the dining area, sofas and leather chair in the cab. Outside there’s a private hot shower and laundry room, a fire pit, a picnic bench and a little crow’s nest deck, where you can sit with morning coffee and look out over the hills or lie back and do some spectacular stargazing. The Led Zeppelin has settled in a secluded field adjacent to John and Sallie-Ann’s home. There are livestock around, so keep an eye on the dogs if you have them, but you won’t see anybody else unless you’re out for the day. Even some of the many local hikes are fairly deserted, although the popular Tarka Trail is also nearby and makes for some great casual cycling. You could drop into Bude and other beaches along the coast for surfing and sunbathing, walk to some great pubs or explore the area’s diverse history and culture, from the underground passages of Exeter to the alpacas of Lydford Gorge. When you get back to The Led Zeppelin, crack open a bottle of something and settle in to watch and listen for bats and owls hunting in the dusk.

    Tucked into the corner of the sheep field, the sun will arc across the sky from your perspective in the wood fired hot tub. But the perfect spots to lie back and relax don’t end there. You’ve got two other options to scrub up, with an indoor power shower for a luxurious wash after exploring the nearby coast or Dartmoor National Park, just a short drive away. There’s also the wonderful tin bath outdoors, on the covered deck, complete with a bath tray to keep the prosecco handy. When you’re not lounging around (and there’s still the Adirondack loungers, mind you), you might be cooking up a storm in the BBQ area outside when the sun’s shining, or of course in the small kitchenette if it’s a cooler evening. But after dinner, all bets are off, and it’s either sipping sundowners by the firepit, or if you’ve brought young ones – toasting marshmallows to perfection. Adventure’s always just a short drive from here, and Devon’s your oyster, with plenty to do inland and across the coast. You could be down to Salcombe in under an hour, or simply Torquay in 15 minutes or so. But the real magic’s on site, especially as a couple on your own, where you can make use of the oak four poster bed and forget everyone else.
