Property code: OC-SMITHO

Get a new leash of life at this immaculate rural retreat offering peace and quiet, fresh air and a chance for you, your other half and your best four-legged friend to make magical memories. This one-bedroom property is part of a converted stone barn in Trentishoe, making the ideal bolthole for lovers of the great outdoors who want to explore Exmoor National Park and the rugged coastline of North Devon. The cottage boasts modern interiors finished to a high standard, while retaining period features that give character to this holiday home from home.

This middle property of three has a rustic stone facade, belying the modern interiors. Downstairs, there’s a generous living space, comprising an open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner with a sleek galley kitchen area, your very own table for two and cosy sofa seating with a Smart TV. Cottage-style, open-tread stairs lead up to the impressive, large double bedroom complete with an armchair under an attractive vaulted and beamed ceiling. There’s a private garden area to the front with a picnic table, plus a large shared garden with further picnic benches. An enclosed meadow 50 yards from the cottage is ideal for exercising faithful hounds.

The peaceful valley location of this cottage is ideal for exploring Exmoor and wider Devon. There are plenty of inspiring walks almost literally from your doorstep and the South West Coast Path is within 500 metres and is great for getting a different perspective. The dog will love it, anyway! You’ll go barking mad for the fact that well-behaved woofers can travel for free on the steam trains of the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway (3.5 miles). The National Trust’s scenic Heddon’s Mouth, where the River Heddon meets the sea is within 2 miles and lovely Woolacombe with its wide sandy bay and surfing opportunities is 15 miles.

Immaculate, well equipped cottage in a very quiet rural setting. Access is via minor, narrow, hilly roads which can be challenging in bad weather. No shops or facilities within walking distance, other than the Hunters Inn pub/restaurant (0.6 mile walk down a steep dark woodland lane). We had a Tesco food delivery which worked out very well. FanRead moretastic range of walks nearby with stunning scenery along the SW Coast Path. Highly recommend a drive to Woolacombe beach and also a visit to Lynton and the Valley of Rocks. Hide
