Reached via a three-quarter-mile private track through rolling countryside, this charming cottage is tucked away in a secluded corner near George Nympton. Set on an organic farm beside the main farmhouse and overlooking the beautiful River Mole, it’s a peaceful retreat for couples and their four-legged companions seeking quiet escapes in North Devon.
Dating back around 300 years, the cottage is full of character, with exposed stone walls, deep-set windows, and rustic touches that create a wonderfully cosy atmosphere. Step straight into the open-plan living area, where the lounge, kitchen and dining area have been thoughtfully arranged for easy living. Comfortable seating provides a welcoming spot to settle, while the dining area is great for slow breakfasts and evening meals overlooking the valley. The kitchen comes equipped with everything needed for self-catering stays, while the inviting double bedroom provides a peaceful setting for restful nights after days spent exploring Devon’s countryside and coast. A separate shower room completes the accommodation. Outside is where this rural retreat truly shines. There are front and rear seating areas with outdoor furniture, a BBQ and fire pit for evenings beneath the stars, while the steep terraced garden bursts with colour through the seasons. Your four-pawed friend will love sniffing around while you take in the far-reaching valley views. A standout highlight is the private wood-fired hot tub tucked beneath a willow tree beside a natural pond alive with wildlife. With hydrotherapy jets, lighting and outdoor seating, it’s a peaceful setting for soaking beneath the open sky. There’s also access to outdoor gym equipment with spectacular views across the Mole Valley, alongside secure bike storage and private parking for two cars.
Surrounded by stunning scenery, there are scenic walks and country lanes waiting right from the doorstep. Nearby South Molton (4 miles) is a traditional market town packed with independent shops, pet-positive cafes and its popular Pannier Market, held twice weekly. Further afield, the wild landscapes of Exmoor National Park lie around 10 miles away, while the sweeping shoreline and dog-friendly zones of Saunton Sands (20 miles) are within easy reach.
