ABOUT US
WE LOVE IT HERE, YOU WILL TOO!
Hello, we’re your hosts Jon & Teresa Hector and our dog Buddy.
We run Devonia Escapes, located near Bideford and Westward Ho! Our Luxury Glamping cabins offer a year-round experience.
We moved back to Teresa’s family farm near Bideford in North Devon in 2014 and converted an agricultural building into our amazing home.
We wanted to use the assets we had available here – the land, our skills and experience with our wish to showcase North Devon, the place we are lucky enough to call home.


We run Devonia Escapes ourselves and continue to work part-time in IT and admin so hope you will come and stay. We’re happy to meet and greet you or we’ll just be a friendly face, voice or message, if you need any help or recommendations.
Our small 70-acre farm is run by Teresa’s parents and brother and produces heritage free-range eggs. Jon helps on the farm most mornings picking up eggs. Guests have the opportunity to try the freshest eggs.
The farm itself with the free-ranging chickens, diverse habitats including meadows, woodland and streams and the family setup provides us with an excellent and friendly country setting and the farm is just a short 15-minute drive from the coast.
Jon designed and hand-crafted the 2 cabins sited in a meadow overlooking a stream and woodland to offer a unique year round escape, working in harmony with our surroundings, nestled within the countryside with cosy home comforts.
So, we are in an ideal location for an idyllic escape and we work hard every day to achieve our dream so that guests ‘Find Their Freedom at Devonia Escapes.’

Would highly recommend Karen Crowther2025-02-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These really are gorgeous luxurious glamping cabins. Our weekend stay in Fern in February was perfect, don’t be put off staying during winter months, with underfloor heating and a log burner you’re more than toasty. The cabins have a lovely Ensuite with good sized shower. The kitchen area has everything you need, and you get a lovely welcome pack with farm fresh eggs, milk, coffee, biscuits etc. They also provide the option to buy a celebration pack, we did as it was my birthday and it didn’t disappoint - Prosecco, locally made chocolates, strawberries and a birthday banner. We thought it was good value for money. The bed was really comfy, so you’ll definitely get a good nights sleep. You can even make use of the deck when it’s too cold to sit outside - cue the outdoor bath - we loved it, it was glorious to spend the evening submerged in warm water and bubbles, drinking champagne, on the festoon lit deck, chatting and listening to nearby stream. From the initial booking process and throughout communication was first class, and Jon & Teresa were great hosts. The app you’re provided with pre arrival gives you all the info you could possibly need at your fingertips, with great recommendations for places to visit, restaurants as well as everything you could possibly need to know about the cabin. Luxurious glamping at its best 😍 Sara Burgess2025-01-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

It started with great communication leading up to our stay from the hosts, along with a fantastic, very detailed website to allow us to plan our stay. The accommodation is perfect, everything was clean, tidy and nothing was missed! The small touches made this extra special. Alexa for music, bubble bath for the outside tub, the new pots and pans, the free EV charging, to name a few. We was unlucky to come at a time the local pub, 0.5 miles away, was closed due to Christmas leave. This would have been the cherry on top. Thank you Jonathan and Teresa, we look forward to booking again soon. Richie Flack2024-11-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing cabin in a tranquil meadow. We loved listening to the owls and the dawn chorus. The cabin is perfectly equipped and kept us warm and cosy during Storm Bert when we got very soggy outside. Even managed an outside bath even if the bubbles blew away! Will definitely be back. Sergei Fedorov2024-11-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was our first getaway of this kind, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The cabin was immaculate - spotlessly clean and equipped with every amenity we could imagine for maximum comfort. Everything felt new and carefully chosen; even most hotels don’t reach this level of perfection! The woodburner made our evenings cozy and memorable, while every morning, we were greeted by a little robin knocking at the window as our charming natural alarm clock. It was truly an unforgettable experience, and we can’t recommend it enough! Steven Green2024-09-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a brilliant stay we had! It was evident from the moment we arrived that everything had been well thought out down to the smallest details. The Welcome Pack was absolutely stunning. Teresa couldn't be more helpful and went above and beyond. Highlights were The Bath... So great to sit out and watch the Stars. The WiFi... We had no issues streaming everything we wanted to watch. The Fire Pit... Making Smores for the first time was great fun! If you are looking for a secluded location that isn't miles away from civilization then this is the place for you! simon green2024-09-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow what a location. If you are looking for tranquility with luxury accommodation look no further. A type of shepherds hut but much bigger than the smaller ones you normally find. Everything like new and really comfy bed. Welcome pack also lovely. Outdoor bath with hot and cold taps was amazing. Looking up at the stars with the fire pit was just perfect. hot tubs are so last year!! Very private and quiet. Thanks very much we'll be back Sarah Wilson2024-09-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have just returned after staying 3 nights in Kingfisher Cabin. Wow, what can I say, such a gorgeous retreat to completely switch off and enjoy the nature. Stayed with hubby and 2 pups, and the security of the decking area meant we could relax, knowing our pups could not escape. Accommodation superb, stylish, clean and very homely, everything you need, is there! even the little things you forget, they had, which made our time even more special as we had no car to nip out for supplies! Jon and Teresa are the most spectacular hosts who went above and beyond when our car broke down, we cannot thank them enough for going out of their way to make our anniversary stay perfect! Thank you x Jemma Giles2024-07-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a lovely place to stay! Teresa and Jon of Devonia Escapes have thought of everything when they created our cabin Fern. We felt very welcomed, the cabin is so relaxing and spacious. The terrace was a lovely spot to read,chat and stargaze. Try the bath, it's amazing! A great out of the way place to retreat to after exploring the beautiful area, but not far from pubs with great food. See if you can find the stunning Octopus in Appledore and definitely get a crab salad or sandwich and coffee at The Coffee Cabin, as recommended by Teresa.The weekend was not long enough, we will be back again and for longer.
