Galmpton Creek Hideaway
Welcome to Galmpton Creek Hideaway, a gorgeous eco-friendly hideaway nestled in a rather magical location on the River Dart. Feel your worries melt away as you arrive at this idyllic spot, ready to spend time exploring this wonderful corner of south Devon.
Perfect for a romantic getaway for two, or a special holiday for four, you're sure to love this beautifully designed, dog friendly retreat. Step inside to discover the open plan living space, with a stylish kitchen area, complete with everything you might need for rustling up supper (plus that all-important wine cooler!), a wonderful wooden table for sociable suppers, a Smart TV, and a comfortable sofa to sink into after a day of adventures, with a lovely wood-burner for those cosy evenings in. Of course, we can't forget to mention the enchanting views across to the river! Slide open the doors and step out to the lawned space in front of the lodge, where you can enjoy the Devon sunshine.
There are two pretty bedrooms. Bedroom 1 is decorated in pastel green and pink tones, with a sumptuous bed which can either be a super-king or a twin. Bedroom 1 has the use of the luxurious bathroom, just perfect for unwinding with a leisurely soak at the end of the day. Bedroom 2 is a lovely super-king room, with glass doors ideal for enjoying the glorious river views. The en suite Shower-room to bedroom 2 is divine, with gorgeous blue tiles and a spacious shower.
Head outside, and you'll find the lovely, sheltered decking area, with a cheerful yellow dining-table and chairs; a great spot for perching with your morning coffee and soaking up the fresh country air. You'll find a barbecue here too, in the warmer months, ideal for those sun-soaked summer nights dining al fresco. And with both a southerly and westerly outlook, you can enjoy the sunrise and the sunset here too!
Galmpton Creek Hideaway is one of five fabulous retreats which enjoy their very own piece of heaven within this magical spot with uninterrupted views across the fields and river Dart. Access to this gated area can be found by meandering through the main house's garden. Via restricted and private access, you will find Galmpton Creek hideaway tucked away, enjoying nothing but endless countryside and waterside views.
Galmpton Creek is proud to boast it's an eco-friendly getaway, crafted from sustainably sourced Red Cedar with a sedum roof to encourage wildflowers and wildlife. There are also ground source heat pumps and electric car charging points installed. The owners have put in place a number of initiatives to protect the local environment, including creating over 350 metres of habitation for bats and other wildlife, planting trees and a range of plant species to provide for bees and other wildlife, and conserving a badger set.

Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed at this property.
Mr Rogan
Galmpton Creek Hideaway was absolutely lovely. A peaceful location with great views over the creek. The property itself was really nicely decorated and equipped. Lots of places to visit a very short drive away. Most evenings we just bought dinner to cook and relaxed with the doors open taking in the view. Would definitely come again
Mrs morris
We had such a lovely holiday here. The property is beautiful and the location incredible. Perfect! Thank you.
Mr Extance
First class accommodation met all our expectations. Will book again soon.
Mrs Kent
We stayed for one week in this exceptional holiday venue. The accommodation is fully equipped and enjoys views over the River Dart. Although in a private and quiet location there is still easy access to many of the local resorts, beaches and restaurants. Our hideaway was also genuinely dog friendly so all the family could enjoy a holiday. We would highly recommend the River Dart Hideaways.
Mr Grime
Glampton Creel Hideaway os in a wonderfully peaceful location with an abundance of wildlife in the area. The views from the property are beautiful and the park itself is immaculately maintained. The staff are all friendly and happy to help in any way they can – overall they made what was already a really good, restful, holiday even better. There is plenty to see and do in the immediate vicinity and so no need to travel far from Galmpton should you prefer. Its a great place and we’d love to return in the future.
Mr Benson
We loved the utterly peaceful location away from any major roads, and a wonderful view of the River Dart.

This property is truly special.
Mrs Allen-Cowles
We chose this property for peace, tranquility and wildlife. We were not disappointed. The cabin is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and well equipped. The site managers/wardens Fran and Debs are fantastic - really friendly without being intrusive - nothing was too much trouble. There are plenty of stunning walks from the doorstep and the view from the cabin is breathtaking. We will be returning. It was all perfect!
Mr Chard
Highly recommend River Dart Hideaway for a great location for exploring the surrounding areas. Stayed in the Galmpton Hideaway as a family of 4. Very impressed with how well equipped the lodge was, everything you need for and extended break. Beautiful views over the River Dart, super comfy beds and a peaceful location. We all agree we would return in the future!!
Mrs Davison
This is an excellent lodge located in a peaceful setting with fantastic views of the river from inside and out. The lodge is furnished and equipped to a very high standard. It’s a great place to get away from it all, but with lots of places to explore within a short driving distance as long as you don’t mind narrow roads!
Mrs Lister
Lovely property with beautiful view. Good pub within walking distance (suggest booking if going for a meal) Approx 40 min walk to Greenway (NT) Would have been more lovely walks if the weather had been better!
