Property code: 50004

Elevated above hidden valleys and ancient woodland, this cottage offers a fantastic vantage point to explore the wonders of East Devon. Search for fossils along the Jurassic Coast, delight the family with a trip to a local beach, or sample a traditional cream tea in one of the charming villages dotted throughout this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Afterwards, put your feet up in front of the wood burner, or relax on the patio outside, watching the children and dogs play in the enclosed garden.

Set on a working dairy farm, experience true countryside life from the comfort of this beautifully converted barn. The welcoming open-plan living space is made light and airy by floor to ceiling windows and glass doors leading outside. Whip up wonderful dishes with locally sourced ingredients in the large kitchen, feasting together before retiring to the cosy lounge. Climb the open staircase to find the upstairs shower room, or have a well-deserved soak in the downstairs bathroom, accessed through the utility area via some steps. The two bedrooms are also upstairs, refreshingly decorated with homely touches. Outside, enjoy an alfresco BBQ supper, admiring the spectacular views of the picturesque landscape.

With plenty of footpaths on your doorstep, pack a picnic and set off on an adventure, or stay close by and arrange with the farmer to look around the farm. Little ones will love Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary 5.5 miles away or Crealey Adventure Park 12 miles away. Alternatively, take in the sights of the meandering River Otter, starting with a delicious breakfast at Otterton Mill 10.5 miles away, finishing with a honeycomb ice cream by the sea at Budleigh Salterton after a 2.5-mile walk.

Sweetcombe Roost is an extremely comfortable property with everything you need for a self catering holiday, comfy beds, powerful shower and lovely soft water. The location is idyllic if you like peace and quiet, just the birds and an occasional moo from the nearby cows. We would not hesitate to return.
