Hiding within a wonderful rural setting on a working family farm, this charming cottage is perfectly placed for exploring both Devon and Cornwall. Ideal for tucking yourself away from the rest of the world, you’ll find all the home comforts you could need for a romantic retreat or a family stay. The cottage benefits from having direct access to the South West Coast Path - enjoy early morning walks watching the sun rise over the water - there really is nothing more refreshing.

Stepping inside, the highlights of traditional wood, paired with the slate floor instantly transports you back in time. Warm, yet subtle tones dress the rooms, creating a cosy, yet light and spacious feel. The open-plan kitchen/dining area is perfect for cooking up a feast whilst still being able to socialise with your companions - there’s even a rocking horse sitting gracefully at the foot of the stairs. The lounge area, just off of this dining space allows you to tuck yourself away from the rest of the world and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the area. The comfort continues upstairs with pretty country-cottage-style bedrooms, and a bath overlooking the countryside beyond. Venturing outside, you’ll discover a serene lawn area complete with outside seating, gazebo, and charcoal BBQ - perfect for dining alfresco and soaking up the fresh Devon air.

You’ll find yourself in the heart of rural Devon with endless opportunity for adventure right on your doorstep; enjoy woodland walks and picnics in the hills. The charming coastal town of Bude is just 8 miles from the property and is well worth a visit for its fantastic selection of eateries, independent boutiques, long stretch of golden sand and tidal pool. Closer to home, Holsworthy is just 3.5 miles away, an adorable village lost in time - grab a bite to eat and peruse the local market.

Set in a lovely area, the Monks Rest has everything that you would need. We particularaly liked the fact that there weren't endless instructions as there are with some self-catering cottages. We were given the run of the farm and our dog liked her walks around it. Really enjoyed our stay!

The best review we could give for our stay, is to say WE DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE. Tony, the host, was always on hand, and such a warm and friendly man. Lily, the springer spaniel was a constant visitor, and we absolutely adored her. We also loved feeding the chickens, horse and donkeys. There was a lovely spot down by the pond where we spent many an Read morehour looking (and finding), the fish. All in all, we had a fantastic time, and would gladly return. Hide
