Outdoors

The raised decking is an idyllic spot to enjoy a golden pot of coffee or afternoon tipple. Complete with comfy wooden loungers and blankets, you’ll want to stay here until the moon and stars appear. It overlooks the large meadow and rolling hills of the south Devon countryside. Its beautifully rural location is oh so special and it doesn’t stop there... Head down the steps to reach your very own bubbling hot tub alongside the sweet picnic bench and rustic firepit, perfect for alfresco cooking! As the sun dips beyond the hills and golden, pink hues fill the sky, Dart Safari becomes even more enchanting. Toast marshmallows with the little ones and once they’re asleep, slip into the dreamy hot tub for a romantic evening under the stars. Here, you will create magical memories that last a lifetime.

With Dartmoor National Park and the South Hams countryside just a stone’s throw away, outdoor enthusiasts will be in their element here. The small village of Stoke Gabiel is very picturesque and leads you right to the edge of the River Dart. Go kayaking on the river and be sure to stop for a bite to eat at The River Shack. Keen cyclists will love Haldon Forest, with its variety of cycling trails and bikes available to hire. The combined riverboat and steam railway trip between Totnes and Dartmouth makes for a lovely day out.
