  • Idyllic thatched cottage in the heart of Devon with your own private hot tub
  • Ideal base to explore all of Devon with beaches just 20 minutes away
  • Private enclosed garden, patio area and wild flower meadow for walking or exercising dogs
Property code: OC-49589

Surrounded by rolling hills and lush green fields in the heart of Devon, this idyllic cottage is ideally located for an escape to the country. Discover a new leash of life as you wake to breathtaking views and let the dogs run and play in the adjoining wildflower meadow as you sip your morning coffee and watch on. Sleeping four, it’s perfect for families or small groups of friends looking to relax and reconnect.

Exposed bricks, stones and original beams add country charm and character throughout this property, with thoughtful details helping you feel right at home. On cold winter evenings, curl up in front of the wood burner for a fun film night in front of the Smart TV – there’s even underfloor heating if it gets really chilly. Plan the next day’s adventures in the warm and welcoming kitchen/diner before dipping into your own private hot tub on the enclosed patio. There are two light and airy super king-size bedrooms, which can be made into twins on request.

For walkies, you and your four-legged friends will be spoilt for choice, with the rugged scenery, rolling hills and woodland of Dartmoor (20 miles) and Exmoor (18.5 miles) waiting for you to explore. Torrington (5 miles) has a myriad of footpaths and cycle paths to wander too, linking directly to the famous 180-mile long Tarka Trail. And of course, no visit to North Devon is complete without a trip to the beach, so head 11 miles to Westward Ho! and enjoy its 2 miles of golden sands; dog access is restricted here in the summer, although Peppercombe (17.5 miles), Northam Burrows (13.5 miles) and Clovelly (23 miles) beaches allow dogs to get their paws wet and sandy year-round.

  • 2 bedrooms - both super-king zip-and-link beds (which can be made into twins on request)
  • 3 bathrooms - 1 en-suite shower room with WC; 1 en-suite bathroom with hand held shower over bath with WC; 1 wet room with WC on the ground floor

  • Please note, dogs are only permitted on the ground floor, a stairgate is provided 
  • Outdoor tap and hose for muddy boots and paws
  • Beach 11 miles, pub 1.2 mile and shop 2.5 miles
  • The owners also have two B&B rooms on site in their sympathetically restored Georgian house.  The rooms are charmingly decorated with private bathrooms, smart TV and tea/coffee making facilities.  Additional guests can be accommodated in the B&B rooms for all or part of your stay -  should you wish to discuss this option let us know and we will put you in direct contact with the owners.

Wonderful cosy cottage. Lovely owners who run a B&B next door. Breakfast can be arranged at cost. We did this one morning and it set us up for the day. The enclosed paddock across the road comes with private access for guests in the cottage and is lovely to let your dog off for a run. The cottage has everything you need.

Beautiful well equipped cosy cottage, in a quiet location 2 miles from the main road. Follow directions from the owner for the last bit, as this country lane is a lot wider/easier. Hot tub was wonderful. Our favourite place we visited was Lynmouth/Lynton - approx 1 hr away, but well worth it. Walked to the nearest pub - The New Inn, 1.25 miles awayRead more, very good food and reasonably priced (but very quiet?). North Devon a lot quieter than the South/Cornwall, particularly out of season. Hide
