Set in the grounds of a stunning Georgian manor, this idyllic cottage showcases the very best of Devon. Secluded yet stylish, this characterful getaway is perfect for couples or families looking for a peaceful base from which to explore this diverse county.

And with your own private hot tub to enjoy, this cottage offers a real taste of luxury.

Dating back to the 17th century, this property is bursting with history yet full of contemporary touches. Step inside and feel the rustic charm of the original wooden beams as you warm your feet on the underfloor heating. With its exposed brick features, the kitchen is perfect for whipping up a feast. Enjoy it together around the farmhouse-style dining table before settling down in the comfy lounge. With a TV and a soothing woodburner, there's nowhere better to enjoy a cosy night in. Then let the tranquil sounds of the countryside ease you into a peaceful night's sleep. That's after enjoying a soak under the stars in the hot tub of course.

Beautiful well equipped cosy cottage, in a quiet location 2 miles from the main road. Follow directions from the owner for the last bit, as this country lane is a lot wider/easier. Hot tub was wonderful. Our favourite place we visited was Lynmouth/Lynton - approx 1 hr away, but well worth it. Walked to the nearest pub - The New Inn, 1.25 miles awayRead more, very good food and reasonably priced (but very quiet?). North Devon a lot quieter than the South/Cornwall, particularly out of season. Hide

We really enjoyed our stay in the B&B last year and Wren Thatch cottage is just as good. One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in with everything we could possibly have needed, including a lovely cream tea on arrival. If you are in this area or visiting Rosemoor dont look anywhere else!
