Enjoying a tranquil location in the picturesque 70-acre grounds of an impressive Regency-era country house, this charming single-level detached cottage makes a lovely retreat for families and couples exploring a lovely part of the North Devon countryside. With access to a shared games room and a heated indoor pool, the cottage provides fresh, cosy holiday accommodation for up to five guests, with plenty of space for two canine friends to tag along and discover the extensive shared grounds.

The property is in a glorious location. It is very comfortable and has acceptable equipment however whilst accepting that this is an old property and is decorated in a traditional style perhaps an update on the dcor is called for.
