This pretty property nestles next to the owners’ home in a lovely rural setting punctuated by farms and country lanes, has been decorated in a country style, and provides a perfect couples retreat.

Experience true country life from the comfort of this beautiful chocolate-box cottage, nestled in a perfect rural location. Conveniently situated for exploring the heart of Devon, venture to the market town of Tiverton (9 miles away), or stroll through the picturesque villages studded throughout the stunning landscape. Weary from your adventures, pour yourself a glass of something special at the dining table while reminiscing about your day. Later, retreat outside for an evening of stargazing by candlelight, toasting marshmallows on the BBQ.

Adjoining the owner’s home, this homely property is decorated throughout in a rustic style complete with exposed beams. The open-plan living space is brought to life by cosy decor and soft furnishings, featuring a country cottage-style kitchen that is well-equipped for preparing delicious dinners. Perch at the table for tea and cake, or stretch out on the sofa in front of the television. Upstairs, choose from an invigorating shower in the en-suite or a bubble bath in the stylish bathroom. Settle for an early night snuggled in the double bed, or head outside via a set of stairs for a nightcap on the private patio overlooking the shared lawn.

With excellent transport links at your disposal, fill your itinerary with adventures near and far, from exploring the 15th-century chapel in nearby Ayshford (3.5 miles away), to the cathedral city of Exeter (24 miles away). There are plenty of National Trust properties too, take in the history of Killerton (13.5 miles away), or gothic Knightshayes (10.5 miles away). Steeped in history and heritage, Tiverton is worthy of a day trip at 9 miles, set on the banks of the Great Western Canal.

Very comfortable and felt safe there. Central location was great for touring anywhere in Devon( or Somerset/Dorset), yet was off the beaten track. A sanctuary to return to.with the friendliest hosts weve ever met.
