In the heart of rural Devon, this peaceful and pretty holiday home is a calming retreat for couples and families. Close to the market town of South Molton and within reach of the stunning beaches of the North Devon Coast, you’re sure to enjoy a fantastic holiday in this tranquil region.

A reverse-level design means that this detached holiday home really makes the most of its stunning views. From the hall, head upstairs to the lounge/kitchen/diner that takes up the entire first floor – here the original beams contrast with a modern kitchen for easy cooking and clearing up. When you’ve eaten, head over to the lounge area, where you can gather around the Smart TV and wood burner to enjoy a quiet evening in. The two bedrooms, a double and a twin, are both on the ground floor, one step up from the hallway and sharing a family bathroom. Their quirky architecture includes striking arched windows and a step in the middle of the double room. Outside, your enclosed garden has a lawn which is a great place for youngsters to let off steam while adults breathe in the fresh Devon air and enjoy the rural scenery.

On the edge of Exmoor National Park and set within a 300-acre working sheep farm, the holiday escape is a great base for getting out and about in nature, whether you want to walk, cycle, ride, fish, rock climb or try some water sports. Enjoy a cream tea in one of the pretty villages (don’t forget the Devon way is cream first, then jam!) or head for one of the local pubs. Visit the markets in South Molton, 4 miles, or the shops in Barnstaple, 14.5 miles, or spend the day on the beach at Saunton Sands, 23 miles, Westward Ho!, 24 miles, or Woolacombe, 30 miles.

Drewstone Arches is located within a beautiful environment with stunning views. Great for relaxing, and near to many wonderful walks. You can walk from the farm, through woodland with a stream to North Molton, enjoying a meal at the Poltimore Pub before returning. Other great walks include a circular route from Heddons Mouth to Woody Bay. The sceneRead morery is spectacular. Rosemoor RHS gardens is well worth a visit, and the lunches are excellent. There are so many places to visit from this location. Hide

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to others. South Molton is a great location to explore Exmoor and the glorious coastline of North Devon. The accommodation was ideal for us and afforded great views and peaceful surroundings. The owners were very friendly and welcoming.
