Luxury Camping Pod with Private Hot Tub & Garden in Devon

WELCOME TO SUNRIDGE ECOPOD

Sunridge EcoPod is part of Sunridge Retreats, our small collection of unique countryside stays in the beautiful South Hams in Devon.

If the EcoPod is fully booked on your requested dates, please also look for Sunridge Geodome, Sunridge Cube 1, Sunridge Cube 2 and Sunridge Lodge, each with its own private hot tub.

VRBO doesn’t support video tours in every listing format, but a quick search for Sunridge Retreats will provide videos and a better feel for the EcoPod’s layout, private garden, hot tub and surrounding countryside.

🏡 SUNRIDGE ECOPOD

Sunridge EcoPod is a luxury cedar-clad retreat designed for 1–2 guests and particularly suited to couples or solo travellers looking for a peaceful South Devon escape.

Compact but cleverly designed, the EcoPod combines a contemporary interior with its own private garden, hot tub and cinema snug.

Large bifold doors open directly onto the deck and garden, allowing you to enjoy the countryside setting while still having all the comforts you need inside.

🏡 INSIDE THE ECOPOD

The EcoPod has a contemporary open-plan living and dining area with underfloor heating throughout, making it comfortable for stays at any time of year.

The surrounding area is home to birds, squirrels, foxes, badgers and other wildlife, so don’t be surprised if you spot a few visitors during your stay.

🔥 For fire safety, barbecues, disposable barbecues, campfires, firepits and other outdoor naked flames are not permitted anywhere on site.

🛁 PRIVATE HOT TUB

The private hot tub is exclusively for EcoPod guests and includes mood lighting for relaxing in the evening or beneath the stars.

Great little getaway

Loved the area and the pod. It was peaceful and relaxing. My only pointer was that on the photos there is bedding and towels however an hour and a half before check in time we were sent a message from the host saying we would need to bring these and we could check in an hour earlier. We had travelled 4.5 hours to get there and then to be told we need to bring bedding and towels meant we were without. We went into town to get the items but o think this needs pointing out on listing. We thouraghly enjoyed the property and location and would still return

Hi Seb. So glad you had a great time! Thank you for the lovely review. I did mention if you had any questions just ask me and could have sorted the bedding for you with no problem if you had forgotten it. I live on site so any issues are very easily sorted and quickly. But will endeavour to make things clearer on the info on this platform. Again thank you for the fantastic feedback and look forward to hosting you again. Damian :)

An amazing location so tranquil and peaceful. All you can here is the birds. The Ecopod has all you need for a totally relaxing holiday. The hot tub adds to that relaxation. Damian made the check in and out so easy, we didn’t see anyone. First class experience. Thank you :))

About the host

Hosted by Damian Hammett

Host profile image
Sunridge Retreats is a small independent collection of unusual countryside stays in South Devon. We’ve developed each retreat individually, combining the peaceful rural setting with features we personally love – private hot tubs, cinema experiences, contemporary interiors and plenty of privacy.

We live locally and manage Sunridge ourselves, so although our retreats are designed for independent, private stays, we’re always on hand if guests need any help or advice during their visit.

Our aim has always been to create somewhere a little different from a conventional holiday cottage – relaxed, private and memorable, with plenty of comfort alongside the Devon countryside.

Why they chose this property

Sunridge Retreats is set in the beautiful South Hams countryside of South Devon, surrounded by trees, wildlife and rolling countryside while still being within easy reach of the coast.

We love the combination of peaceful rural surroundings with so much nearby to explore. Dartmoor National Park, the Salcombe coast, Bigbury and Mothecombe beaches, pretty South Devon villages and some excellent country pubs are all within easy reach.

The EcoPod sits within its own secluded garden surrounded by trees and hedgerows, making it a lovely little hideaway for relaxing while still being well placed for exploring this part of Devon.

What makes this property unique

Sunridge EcoPod is compact but packed with features, combining the feel of a cosy countryside hideaway with the comforts of a contemporary self-catering retreat.

Large bifold doors open onto its own secluded garden, where guests have a private hot tub, lawn, picnic area and outdoor mood lighting.

Inside, there is a modern German kitchen, underfloor heating, compact private bathroom and a small double sofa bed with bedding and bathroom towels provided.

The living area also doubles as a cosy cinema snug, with a 50-inch Smart 3D HDTV, PS4 console, 3D movies and Bluetooth speaker.

It’s the combination of private garden, hot tub, clever compact design and cinema entertainment that makes the EcoPod such a distinctive little escape.
