Constructed predominantly from timber, Yealm Cabin sits in its own secluded countryside setting overlooking fields, the horse paddock, stables and the Yealm Valley.

Wonderful

Everything was as advertised on the listing. The cabin is a nicely furnished, cosy bolthole, situated in some lovely Devon countryside. The hot tub is a fun addition.
Margaret, the owner, was very helpful on arrival and very unobtrusive afterwards! She was also extremely helpful with flexibility over our arrangements.
Our kids loved the X box, which kept them entertained when the weather was bad.
The location is a great jumping off point for the South Hams coast and rivers, with Dartmoor on the other side. Yealmpton is a decent little centre, with a good pub and well-stocked farm shop and local store.
The outside bathroom might not be for some people, simply because it is outside - but it is nicely done and the underfloor heating and automatic light mean it's not too much hassle to use, even in the middle of the night.
The bed was a little soft for our liking but I guess it might suit others.
Overall, a really good experience and we would recommend the cabin as a pleasant base to explore the area - either for couples or a smallish family.
