Property code: 78305

Set within 18 acres of grounds just 4 miles from popular market town South Molton, this pretty property promises a memorable escape for guests. Part of a complex of properties that can be booked together to sleep 19, this holiday home is an opportunity to get away from busy life and unwind among stunning countryside. Book the hot tub for 2 hours and take an indulgent soak after a long day walking in Exmoor National Park (18.5 miles).

Whether you’re enjoying a soak in the bath or relaxing in the open-plan living area, everyone can find their favourite spot here. The interiors are full of rustic charm with exposed beams and botanical touches dotted throughout. The shared summer house is the perfect place to watch the kids while they take advantage of the play barn; make yourself a coffee and snuggle up with a book. Sizzle up a BBQ out on the patio on warm evenings and dine alfresco among beautifully established plants and flowers.

If you’ve brought your canine companion with you, they can unleash it all in the dog exercise paddock onsite, but if you’d prefer some longer walkies try the South West Coast Path from Westward Ho! (21.5 miles) where Northam Burrows Country Park backs onto the beach and is also a great place to explore. Quince Honey Farm (5 miles) is a wonderful family day out with playgrounds and honey tasting tours, as is War Horse Valley Country Farm Park (16.5 miles), inspired by Michael Morpurgo’s beloved novel.

We have just returned from a wonderful two week holiday with our children at Tangled Bank. The cottage itself is lovely and cosy and really nicely decorated and furnished. The grounds and facilities are brilliant, our boys loved roaming around the fields and spending time with the chickens, horses and alpacas!

We had a fantastic week in Goose Cottage. It was well equipped and comfortable. Zoe and Steve were fantastic hosts - welcoming us with fresh eggs and Easter treats. Plenty for our children to do in the play barn. A highlight was the alpaca walk and going to see them on the farm. Shame we don't have space for one at home!

A beautiful traditional farm cottage spacious, bright and very comfortable. Situated in a tranquil countryside setting yet easily accessible to the spectacular coastline and towns of North Devon. Our hosts Zoe and Steve were so welcoming nothing was too much trouble. We loved it and will come back soon.
