The Out of the Valley model cabin is clad in a charred timber, created with the Japanese shou sugi ban technique, and topped with a black corrugated roof. The dark exterior helps the cabin blend in with the hundreds of acres of National Trust woodland. An outdoor oak deck with a canvas shade overlooks views of the River Teign and offers fantastic wildlife-watching and star-gazing opportunities.
