Property code: OC-88862

A truly unique ticket station conversion perched on the active Tarka Line providing rail links to all corners of the breathtaking Devonshire countryside and coast. This beautifully styled bolthole is perfect for a couple of keen train enthusiasts and their four-pawed travel buddy. Bound aboard the train and travel through the emerald countryside to Barnstaple to while away the hours sniffing along the quaint cobbled lanes and scoping out cosy local coffee nooks. After a day of adventuring, stretch weary toes and paws in front of your crackling wood burner.

This characterful property blends traditional charm and contemporary flair, featuring stable doors, vibrant wall panelling, and colourful soft furnishings. Towel off muddy paws then step into the inviting lounge/diner. Flop down on the plush sofa with a post-adventure tipple and flick through the best doggy portraits of the day while Fido snoozes by your feet. For a moment of peace, throw another log on the wood burner and curl up on the leather armchair with a holiday read. Potter in the compact glossy kitchen and fill the empty belly of your hungry pup then whip up a celebratory meal for two. Raise a glass and toast to your special occasion perched at the dining table. As the night draws in, retire to your light-dappled en-suite double bedroom.

Grab the lead and amble to the local Plant Shed and Farm Shop, 200 metres, to stock up on delicious local goodies then scamper through the woodland trails of Eggesford Forest, 1 mile, and settle in for a farm fresh al fresco picnic. Cosmopolitan canines can embark on a day trip to the historic city of Exeter, 20 miles, to spot the gothic architecture or enjoy a waterfront lunch from one of the heated terraces overlooking the quayside.

Great to basically park up the car and use trains and walking to get around (except for first shop). Treat trains as (fairly loud) hourly chime clock - the overnight non-running fitted well with my daily habits, and I slept very well.

Quirky and very comfortable. The trains weren't nearly as intrusive as we feared and very convenient for trips to Exeter and Barnstaple. Lovely to had a wood burner - we were there in October so we needed it, although there was a good electric heater as a backup.

Very well furnished and equipped. Very comfortable. But it is a working main line, so can be obtrusive late night and early morning. Owners very nice and caring.

Jacqui lives next door and is on hand for any questions and is extremely helpful. Its a really nice quirky cottage, and handily located for lots of places to visit. You MUST like trains! Which we do.

This is the most perfect cottage to stay in. I would highly recommend a stay here, spotlessly clean, the trains were great.
