INSIDE YEALM CABIN:

The outside area gives you panoramic views of the beautiful Devon countryside, whilst inside you are surrounded by the comforts of home (i.e. induction hob, electric fan oven, kettle, toaster, retro fridge with freezer compartment). There’s WIFI should you want to hop back on to the electronic highway and a large 43" Smart Ultra HD-TV with Freeview complete with XBOX One Games System/DVD/BluRay Player - should you fancy a lazy day in this Devon log cabin retreat.
Everything is provided - tea towels, cutlery, cooking utensils, plates, cups etc. The bedroom contains a comfy double bed and there are also 2 fold-out futon sofa floor beds in the lounge for extra sleeping.
PRIVATE HOT TUB AND FACILITIES:
A detached luxury underfloor heated private bathroom and shower is literally a stride across from the main bedroom (or front door) via the cabin's private courtyard. The courtyard area is completely secluded and comes complete with a 4-seated hot tub with mood lighting for those late-night dips!
OUTSIDE YEALM CABIN:
Step outside of this log cabin in Devon and you are greeted with gorgeous scenery. Our field and stables provide you with the perfect backdrop for a relaxing stay in the idyllic South Hams countryside.
There’s plenty of room to run around in the lawned area, complete with a table and chairs, and there's even a charcoal-based barbecue should you really want to go back to basics.
The small courtyard area (right beside the main bedroom) includes your own 4 seated hot tub which is completely private. Adjacent to this outside is the bathroom - complete with toilet, shower, basin, heated towel rail and underfloor heating. Access to the bathroom is either through the main bedroom doors into the private courtyard, or should there be any extra guests staying, you can use the front door so as not to disturb guests in the main bedroom!
As there's no light pollution in this part of the countryside, we even have an observatory should you want to book an appointment to watch the stars with our local astronomy expert. Unique and situated on its own, Yealm Cabin is the perfect tranquil retreat…
Style: Traditional timber log cabin with private hot tub complete with breathtaking views of the Yealm valley.
The Grounds: This private patch of bucolic Devon includes 1 acre of lawn overlooking our fields and stables where guests can relax in the sunshine. Guests can follow a lane through leafy woodlands that lead you into the local village of Yealmpton (bring wellies!). We even have an observatory should you want to book an appointment to watch the stars with our local astronomy expert. A private courtyard complete with mood lighting and your own 4-seated hot tub awaits, including a separate underfloor heated luxury shower room that's literally a stride across the private courtyard from the main bedroom or front door - maximising space inside the cabin.
Open: All year round. (hot-tubbing in winter is heavenly!)

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.
