Situated in the desirable village of Sandford next door to a popular pub, this charming property promises a peaceful stay to guests. Cosy and welcoming, this gorgeous cottage is an opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy a tranquil stay among pretty character features and all your creature comforts. Wake up refreshed, hop out of bed and soak up the stunning views of the open countryside before taking an indulgent rainfall shower in the contemporary shower room.

Whether you’re soaking up the sun in the garden listening to the birds or you’re snuggled up in the lounge with a good book, you’ll find your favourite corner here. The compact kitchen has everything you need to cook up a storm and has a wonderfully contemporary country style. Comfortable sofas in the lounge beckon you to sink into them in front of the wood burner, watching your favourite film on the Smart TV. At bedtime, climb the steep stairs and slip between the sheets in one of the peaceful bedrooms, getting a great night’s sleep so you’re ready for a day of exploration tomorrow.

Visit Exeter’s Underground Passages (10 miles) where the fascinating 14th-century passages have an intriguing history, or explore the city’s cathedral and its many shops, cafes and restaurants. Hire bikes or kayaks from Saddles and Paddles and travel down the Exe Estuary Trail or on the river itself for an exerting yet fun day out. Wander the woods at Killerton House (16 miles) where little ones will find lots of play equipment to swing on. Clyston Mill (15 miles) is a historic working watermill in a beautiful riverside setting that is well worth a look around.

Excellent location and well-equipped property. The accommodation is in need of some TLC, a hard and busy season is starting to show. There is no way this property should be marketed as being situated on a rural road; this road is extremely busy and, unfortunately, used as a rat run by many of Devon's boy racers. Dog owners need to be aware the gardRead moreen is not attached to the property. Very difficult to find in the dark, even with directions, a torch is recommended. Hide

Comfortable quirky cottage. Central to visit north and south coast of Devon. Villagers are very welcoming and helpful. Two village pubs at either end of the hill. Village community shop thats well stocked. Steep slope to get to cottage that may be an issue with those with mobility issues. Totally recommend for those wanting a quiet relaxing break.

A lovely, well equipped cottage. Welcome pack included local cider, cream tea and dog bowls and treats, nice touch. The village and neighbours are very friendly, the shop stocks local produce and the lamb has great food. There are a number of dog walks nearby and while the garden is enclosed, a more determined dog may break out. The kitchen is smalRead morel but has everything you need, well configured and easy to use. Bathroom was great, with a lovely walk in shower. Had a great stay! Hide
