Nestled in a quaint and pretty Devon village, this charming cottage is full of character and retains many original features. Immersed in a network of public footpaths, this is an ideal rustic retreat for you and your four-pawed friends to escape the stresses and strains of everyday life. The magnificent North Devon landscape sits on your doorstep where you can adventure through ancient woodlands, dramatic valleys and rolling hills, ensuring no stick is left unfetched.

This delightful cottage has been lovingly refurbished to provide a warm and cosy atmosphere where you and your canine companion will instantly feel right at home. Relax in the lounge/diner in front of the roaring wood burner to warm those noses and toes after a day roaming the countryside. Cottage-style stairs lead you up to the two light and bright bedrooms providing a tranquil haven to rest peacefully, ready for the next day ahead. Leading out to the sunny courtyard is a rear porch, perfect for drying your soggy doggies and removing muddy boots.

Located in the heart of Bishops Nympton, a rural village in North Devon, there is plenty to see and do in and around the surrounding area. The historic market town of South Molton (4 miles) provides the chance for you to try locally reared and home-grown produce at its weekly farmers’ market. Or visit the walker’s paradise that is the spectacular Exmoor National Park (10 miles) where you and your furry chum can ramble through vast and diverse acres of coastline, forest, valleys and moorland. The beautiful coastal village of Lynmouth (24 miles) provides some simply stunning walks along the River Lyn and is definitely worth a day trip.

Highly recommended, great location with well thought out set up. The cottage was furnished well, great decor and well equipped. Perfect for a family of four with a well behaved dog. Kids loved the nearby play ground. Easy journey to Saunton Sands.

The cottage was lovely, clean, comfortable and cozy! Arrival instructions and parking directions were excellent. Everything we needed was provided and everything worked well. There were some much-appreciated thoughtful touches also, including fresh milk, tea and coffee, and lovely fresh flowers in a vase in the window. The owner was responsive and Read morekind. It's a fabulous location for exploring North Devon and in a quiet and peaceful village, with a very convenient community shop. Fabulous week! Hide

Beautiful property and surrounding area. Perfect for a family of 4 (2 x Adults and 2 x Children), close to the major attractions and amenities. The cottage was well equipped and had lots of nice touches (Milk & Flowers on arrival, torches for any blackouts, smart heating etc). Would highly recommend and looking to return in the future.

We had a wonderful stay in Bishop Nympton. The cottage is really cosy - the log burner is perfect. The kitchen is well equipped and the whole cottage was spotlessly clean. Plenty to do near by and some walks direct from the door. The lanes are very quiet for walking. We visited Instow, Tarr Steps, Valley of Rocks, Lynmouth, Dunster and North MoltonRead more. All were brilliant and well worth the drive. Hide
