Overview
Property code: 77931

This beautiful property offers the perfect holiday accommodation, peacefully tucked away in the small town of Bampton, on the edge of Exmoor National Park and it's within walking distance of shops, pubs and bistros.

Enjoy a home-away-from-home stay in this cosy cottage in the heart of Devon. The property sleeps five guests and two four-pawed pals, making it the ideal accommodation for a rural family getaway. Situated on the edge of Exmoor National Park, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to walking routes to get tails wagging. From wild moorland to dense woodland, the hounds will find plenty to sniff and explore. You’ll also be just over 30 miles from the North Devon coast, with its infamous long sandy beaches and surfing hotspots.

The property is full of creature comforts for a relaxing break. Snuggle up on the comfy sofas, with Fido and Rover curled at your feet, or on a summer’s evening pour yourself a glass of wine and unwind on the patio. French doors join the living space to the garden, meaning the pups can happily drift in and out to the enclosed courtyard. There’s also a handy hallway and cloakroom to store all your dog-walking gear.

Wimbleball Lake (7 miles away), nestled in the hills of Exmoor National Park, is a haven for hounds. You’ll find wide open spaces, as well as a labyrinth of walking trails to investigate. Kids will love the play area and, if you’re feeling adventurous, hire a kayak, boat or board and head out on the water. The nearby market town of Tiverton (7 miles away) has some lovely independent shops to peruse, as well as a fantastic selection of traditional country pubs that welcome four-legged guests. After lunch, enjoy a stroll along the historic canal and look out for the horse-drawn barge. You should also add a trip to Knightshayes to the agenda. The beautiful National Trust house is 6 miles away and the pups can join you in the impressive formal gardens.

Well equipped a good situation in the village with plenty of walking from your front door. Nice friendly village. Shane down to only one pub, but seems to be happening everywhere.

Lovely property with a few minor niggles, the children liked riding their bikes to the park in the village along the quiet lane, and the location was good for making day trips to Exmoor, and the south / north Devon coasts.

Really comfortable, clean and cosy cottage. Had everything we could possibly need and more. Short 5 minute walk to the village of Bampton which is delightful. There was even a Christmas tree for our visit which was a nice touch. Would certainly recommend.

This is a well located house within walking distance of Bampton village where you can find shops, restaurants, pubs and even a good fish and chip shop. The house is very well fitted out with everything you could want to make your long or short stay comfortable. The surrounding countryside is breathtakingly beautiful with several good walks nearby.

Excellent holiday home at edge of Exmoor in a lovely village. This 3-bedroom house is very well maintained and has all the amenities and fittings that can reasonably be needed. Beds and bedding are comfortable, towels are plentiful and the kitchen is fully equipped. The patio garden is fully enclosed and parking was always available. The centre of Read morethe village is just an easy 400m walk away, where there are 3 pubs, 2 restaurants, 2 late opening stores and much more. Wonderful. Hide
