  • Delightful thatched cottage tucked away in the Devonshire countryside with good driving distance to Exmoor National Park and north coast of Devon
  • Balcony with stunning and panoramic country views
  • Pretty, enclosed garden and access to neighbouring fields
Property code: LCOBB

Get a real taste of the country at this delightful thatched cottage just 2 miles from the pretty village of Chittlehampton. As you arrive at Lower Cobbaton The Barn, you will be greeted by a charming stone facade dotted with climbing roses - the perfect start to any holiday. This most beautiful of properties is set in an enclosed garden surrounded by mature trees and flowered borders: just the place for an evening BBQ under the vast Devon sky. Guests also have access to a neighbouring field, a fun area for children to make some wonderful holiday memories.

An enchanting mix of traditional and contemporary fills this lovely cottage. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams (sloped in some places), low windows and feature stable doors are brought into the 21st century with modern soft furnishings and a bright friendly kitchen. Take a coffee out to the wooden balcony on the first floor where you can drink in the views of the long drive and woodland, beautiful in any season. At night, sink into the comfortable beds in the traditional bedrooms, one of which is handily on the ground floor along with a shower room, ideal for those with limited mobility.

For a friendly village pub and shop, head 2 miles into Chittlehampton, or if you need a better selection, drive the 5 miles into Barnstaple. There are glorious walks to be discovered both in Exmoor National Park, 10 miles from the cottage as well as the South West Coast Path, accessible from Westwood Ho! 20 miles away. This traditional seaside resort not only has a wonderful sandy beach but also fantastic fish and chip restaurants and a seaside sweet shop where you can buy candy floss and sticks of rock to take home.
