Think you know glamping? Prepare for a re-think, as this exciting hidden gem is waaaay more than just wood-burners and wilderness. The multi-award winning Dittisham Hideaway would please the most diva-ish of teen or indeed stiletto-wearing woman with its four luxury treehouses (3 dog-friendly), five shepherd’s lodges, and a restored American Airstream. Plus, a range of outdoor activities is on hand, from fishing and horse riding to paddle boarding and kayak hire.

Book the tribe into a treehouse, and you’ll want for nothing. Sleeping two adults and up to three kids (up to 16) and an infant in a cot (up to age 2), the spec is second to none. We’re talking underfloor heating, a fully-equipped kitchen, and two – yes TWO! – en-suite bathrooms with power showers.

Prefer cottage-core to retro? Make a beeline for the Shepherd’s Lodges. Two of the lodges suit two adults and an infant in a cot up to age 2) and three can cater for 2 adults and two smaller kids (up to age 7) on a sofa bed. Again, luxury is guaranteed with a king-size double bed, plus your own private terrace with an outdoor wood-fired spa bath. Alternatively, if it’s a unique date night you’re planning, you can’t get cooler than their 1960s’ American Airstream. Hot dang and some! Read the review here.

Located in the South Hams, close to Dartmouth, Dittisham Hideaway is now family-run by Rob and Kate, and their adventurous young boys. The pair bring oodles of experience in events and project direction, while Rob’s mum Janine brings acumen thanks to a long career in customer services. Since taking over in December 2024, they’ve reduced the nightly rate by an average 25% across the properties, and removed the child supplements so kids stay free. Saving a family of five a whopping £420 over a seven- night staycay.

Book us all in yesterday! I’ll see you in the hot tub.
