Situated in a secluded spot amongst nature in Devon’s Blackdown Hills, these stargazing cabins are named after the many constellations illuminating the vast starry skies at night.
Whichever you opt for, all three cabins boast a large stargazing window, so you can watch for shooting stars to guide you into a dreamy night’s sleep. You can relax on your private furnished outdoor deck with an outdoor bathtub to help you further appreciate those celestial wonders in style.
