This stylish property is ideal for a group getaway or multi-generational stay, with bedrooms to suit a variety of sleeping arrangements. Its rural location on a working farm, where you can take a stroll to see the animals, is perfect for nature lovers.

Lovely details in the décor make this a charming country property, with wood panelling, slate floors, and exposed beams. There’s space for everyone, with a well-equipped kitchen/diner for meals in, and a smartly furnished lounge that has a large fireplace as the central feature. Gather together and cosy upon on the sofas, with the wood burner lit. Relax, watch TV or a favourite film, or simply while away the time chatting and enjoying each other’s company. In this comfortable rural cottage, there’s no need to feel rushed. Spend time in the walled garden on a sunny afternoon and host a BBQ. Children will adore the swings and playhouse.

As well as the sweeping clifftop views, natural beauty spots, and the multitude of walks and trails, North Devon boasts a wide range of all-ages attractions. Close to the cottage is both the Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park (3 miles), which younger guests will love for the animals as well as the play zone and ride, and Exmoor Zoo (5 miles).

The cottage was very comfortable, but sleep would be greatly improved by new mattresses on the double beds. The cottage is well equiped, especially the ktichen.

What a home away from home. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed including washing up bits and dishwasher tablets, even an ice cream scoop and pizza cutter! Waking up to sheep outside and birdsong was relaxing. There was plenty of room for 7 of us (4 adults and 3 children) and a lovely welcome from Jo with wine and goodies was a nice Read moresurprise. Cottage is ideally located only 10 mins away from Ilfracombe/Combe Martin, we never needed to drive more than 20 minutes as so much nearby. Hide

Warm friendly welcome by the family. Beautiful garden for sunny afternoon tea. It was wonderful to wake up to bleating sheep and look out across hills.
