Step back to 1956 with this truly unique holiday home, a piece of US history nestled in the South Devon countryside. Ideal for retro enthusiasts and nostalgic travellers, this converted American Airstream caravan was owned by a member of Wally Byam’s Caravanners Club. You may even spot the original stickers from a 1961 meeting in Omaha, Nebraska, on the windows. Inside embraces the old school aesthetic. The vibrant space is fitted with burnt orange leather seating, a kitted-out kitchen and a cosy nook with a full double bed. The bathroom is surprisingly spacious, with a Japanese wood-fired bath outside the Airstream for those who favour a proper soak. Dine in the Devon air in the company of local wildlife, then follow up your meal with a friendly game of chess or table football. In every direction, you'll be treated to the sounds and sights of nature, from the sunset over Dartmoor's hills to the flickering trickle of a nearby stream. Just ten minutes away, Dartmouth's historic harbour opens out to the English Channel. Sea, hills and woodland – that's all our boxes ticked.

About Dartmouth
A stopping point for the Mayflower on its voyage to the New World, and also reportedly where Queen Elizabeth II fell in love with Prince Philip, this small, picturesque waterfront town overlooking the River Dart has a surprisingly dense history.
