A charming country home enveloped by three acres of lush private grounds, set near the picturesque Devonshire village of North Molton (2 miles). This charming country abode is a wonderful base for groups of friends and family recharging in nature with a couple of waggy-tailed companions. Admire the ocean vistas below as you ascend atop the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway (17 miles), then blether into the early hours bathed in the ambient glow of the roaring wood burner.
This tastefully converted barn features an inviting country interior with low wooden beams, exposed stonework, and bright social spaces. After the day’s activities, slip off muddy boots in the hallway then venture inside. Congregate in the sunny lounge and stretch out on the sofas with a post-adventure snack. On cooler evenings, throw a log on the wood burner and reminisce over a drink while the younger ones hide away in the snug. Cook up a storm in the spacious wooden kitchen or perch at the breakfast table and graze through some nibbles. For a more formal dining affair, gather around the large oak table while away the evening with a celebratory supper. Upstairs, find five relaxing bedrooms in a range of configurations to suit the whole group – each thoughtfully styled with soft linens and coordinated furniture. Outdoors, breathe in the dewy morning air as you sip a morning coffee on the enclosed patio, or explore the serene private grounds with Fido by your feet.
North Devon is a holiday haven for all ages. Explore the maze of cobbled streets in Barnstaple (12 miles) then indulge in a classic Devonshire cream tea at an independent cafe. Stroll the beautifully rugged cliff-backed shores of Woody Bay Beach (19 miles) or discover the amusement delights on offer at Watermouth Castle (19 miles).
