Rare Airstream with private pitch, deck, firepit and optional hot tub and sauna

Stay in an exceptionally rare 1949 Silver Streak Clipper set in Devon’s Blackdown Hills National Landscape, right on the Devon–Somerset border. This is off-grid glamping designed for quiet nights, stargazing, and switching off, with your own private pitch, valley views, and a covered deck for outdoor living.

Guests choose the Clipper for its one-of-a-kind vintage character paired with simple, practical comforts: a peaceful rural setting, a sheltered outdoor setup with a firepit and BBQ, and optional add-ons like a wood-fired hot tub. You will also have access to well-kept shared facilities on site, including a modern wash block and a communal wood-fired sauna (bookable for a nightly fee).

A home to relax and unwind
The Clipper is set up for slow mornings and cosy evenings. Inside, the front of the trailer features a curved bench seating nook wrapped around the front windows, creating a bright spot to read, chat, or watch the landscape change. Step outside and the covered deck becomes the heart of the stay: linger over unhurried breakfasts, cook on the BBQ, then gather around the firepit as the sky darkens and the stars come out.

If you book the optional wood-fired hot tub, it adds a wonderfully rustic ritual to your evenings. The communal wood-fired sauna is also available to book for a relaxing wind-down after a day exploring the countryside or coast.
