A delightful stone cottage with wonderful scenic views over Exmoor National Park is the perfect holiday spot for a family or group of friends. Set in a lovely garden on a working farm, it sleeps six guests, plus up to three dogs. The cottage is beautifully furnished and full of character, with vaulted ceilings, original beams and whitewashed walls. The large garden, shared with two neighbouring holiday cottages, has a games room, children’s play/picnic area and a secluded patio overlooking the glorious countryside. Pets can run free in their own enclosed meadow. Pretty Parracombe with a community shop and the seaside at Combe Martin are both within 7 miles, with exhilarating walks across wild Exmoor on your doorstep.
The airy, open-plan living/dining/kitchen ground floor has a lovely country feel, with French doors onto the garden and superb views, comfortable seating and a wood burner for cosy evenings. There are three charming bedrooms: a ground-floor twin with striking four-poster beds; and a double and twin on the lower ground floor. Outside, guests have their own picnic table in the garden. The shared patio has seating and a BBQ, and an enclosed, grassy courtyard houses garden furniture.
Explore the glorious Exmoor uplands or take a footpath from the cottage leading to the beautiful Heddon Valley, where you may spot rare butterflies and buzzards. Combe Martin (6 miles) has a year-round dog-friendly beach, while water sports enthusiasts can hire kayaks and paddleboards. Join the South West Coast Path, which runs through the village, to see North Devon’s spectacular clifftop scenery. Picturesque Lynmouth Harbour and the twin village of Lynton, with its famous funicular train, are just 7 miles away. Enjoy a scenic journey on the well-preserved Lynton and Barnstaple steam train from Woody Bay station (4 miles).
