The Led Zeppelin
- 0
- 2 nights min stay
£115.00 per night
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.

There are five types of room to choose from so that everyone is catered for, regardless of who is in your party. Each one is elegantly furnished and equipped with a flat screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and a stylish en-suite bathroom. For larger groups the two bedroom apartment is a fantastic option, with a twin room and one with a large double bed. Alternatively there are two different types of family room. There is either one with a double bed and two single beds, or a double bed with a just the one single. For those who want a romantic trip away there is the superior double room, or the standard, while there is also a standard twin. With the picturesque countryside as the backdrop The Hunter's Inn is situated among amazing gardens and there is a terrace with outdoor furniture so you can sit down and enjoy your surroundings when the weather is nice. A buffet breakfast is included with the room and is served in the on-site restaurant. It is also open for lunch and dinner with a varied a la carte menu. Afterwards, guests can enjoy a drink at the bar, or in the cosy and comfy lounge area. Of course, one of the main attractions of the Inn is its location. There are plenty of hiking and cycling routes available right on your doorstep and guests are encouraged to head out and explore the natural beauty of Exmoor. For history lovers Watermouth Castle is worth a visit. Then a little further beyond is the wild and woolly coastline, with highlights including Bull Point Lighthouse in the village of Mortenhoe, and the golden sands of Woolacombe Beach. The area is also a surfer’s paradise with boards to hire and classes on offer for those of all abilities.

In the daytime, throw open the doors and the breakfast bar window, sit out on the deck and live surrounded by nature. When the night draws in, close it all up and let the wood burner and underfloor heating turn the lounge into a cosy space for napping, reading or board games. As for the four-person jacuzzi, it is in an amazing decked space at the lower level and has a separate drinks fridge-freezer and lounge area. Cooking options are equally versatile, with a BBQ outdoors and fully equipped kitchen inside. While it’s an incredibly romantic spot for couples, The Den is also perfect for a family of four. One room has a king-size bed and another two full-size bunks and the deck is guarded by a rail, so toddlers can wander free. You can even bring the dog, so nobody has to miss out.Once you’re in The Den, you may not want to leave, but if you do head out then you still might not get further than the grounds of Pickwell Manor. There’s a campfire area, an animal zone, croquet lawn and even the laundry room gets great feedback for the amazing view. Day trips could see you swimming, paddle boarding or surfing at Woolacombe Bay, or heading out along the coastal path from nearby Putsborough beach. A half-hour walk into Georgeham brings you to a couple of great pubs, with The Rock Inn a great choice for a special meal and The King’s Arms for a pint in the garden and music on Fridays. And because The Den is your own little world, you can fire up the tub whenever you get back and end the day with a dip.
