Nestled in the shadow of the surrounding rolling hillsides with magnificent views out to sea, this idyllic cottage tucked away on a working sheep farm is the perfect picturesque spot for families to discover the natural beauty of the iconic North Devon countryside and coastline.

After a day’s exploring, refuel in the farmhouse-style kitchen/diner by whipping up a feast with the local produce you’ve collected and enjoy making special family memories around the dining table. As the evening draws in, hunker down in the stylish lounge/diner to enjoy a film night around the Smart TV or board game seated around the dining table. Follow the warmth of the wood burner into the cosy snug room before retiring for a well-earned rest in the adjoining king-size bedroom, which features panoramic views through the characterful curved windows. Upstairs you’ll find a further three bedrooms, each boasting stylish décor and wonderful rural views. If you’re not quite ready for bed, head into the games room housed inside the garage, soak up your scenic surroundings by dining alfresco on the patio or explore the large lawn with children and four-legged friends in tow.

The peaceful village of Combe Martin is nestled on the edge of Exmoor National Park in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is surrounded by glorious countryside, sea cliffs and the wonderful coastline of North Devon. Set in over 28 acres of spectacular gardens, enjoy a family day out at Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park (4.5 miles) to spot endangered wildlife and life-size animatronic dinosaurs. Back out in the wild, search for seals and porpoises on a boat trip from Ilfracombe’s Victorian harbour 7 miles away, paddle this magical coastline by hiring a kayak from OSKC Watersports (3.5 miles) or explore the countryside walks of Exmoor 5 miles away.

The photos dont do this place justice. The views from the house are amazing and the garden is very secure for dogs and youngsters. So much space and it was so warm and cosy in the evenings. The games room is a great bonus, especially if the weather isnt great. Would definitely recommend this and a trip to saunton beach, ideal if youve got dogs. CanRead moret wait to come back Hide

We loved our stay here. The most stunning setting and views. The house is gorgeous and perfectly equipped. There were 10 of us and we really didn't feel on top of each other as so much space.

Would recommend this property if you want a family and friends holiday, plenty of room for everyone and decorated lovely. Also The Saw Mills restaurant and pub is a must for a visit. Already miss it as it was like home from home but with a much better view.

This is an outstanding property, beautifully presented, comprehensively equipped and with that wow factor that sets it apart. The downstairs bedroom with its own sitting room was an unexpected bonus.

From the driveway, going past the sheepup to the farm house, the location is idyllic. Words cannot describe the view and the photos do not do the house justice. The house itself was clean, very comfortable & well stocked with the necessities. We chose to sleep in the downstairs bedroom in order to wake up to the incredible view.
