Set in the breathtaking North Devon countryside, this charming stone cottage is perfect for a small family or two couples looking for a holiday away together. The two-bedroom hideaway is peacefully nestled in the village of Swimbridge, only 6.5 miles from the walking and cycling trails of the Exmoor National Park. Enjoy a reviving morning in the lovely garden before you set off on your adventures, with the relaxing sound of the babbling river running nearby.

Step into the cottage and be greeted with a welcoming warmth and a homely atmosphere. The comfortable lounge with its stone chimney breast is the ideal space to put your feet up and watch TV.  In the kitchen/diner, you'll find all the necessary equipment to make delicious meals for your family and friends. Upstairs, you'll find a double bedroom with en-suite shower room, and a twin bedroom. Also on this floor, you'll find the family bathroom.

Take a short stroll over to your private, fenced garden which is 20 metres from the cottage. Here, you can relax in the sunshine, take in the stunning views of the river and look out for local wildlife.

The cottage is just 4.5 miles from Barnstaple, a bustling town with plenty to explore. From the colourful pannier market to the independent shops, there's something for everyone. If you're feeling adventurous, why not explore the nearby national park of Exmoor? With walking and cycling routes, you're sure to find plenty of things to do.

Owners live close to property and they can't do enough for you. Very clean and reasonably comfortable. Make sure you have some essentials if arriving late as no shop in village. Only milk in fridge.

Lovely comfortable cottage. Very clean throughout. Kitchen well stocked with utensils for your every need. Nice surprise of scones, cream and jam on arrival. Short distance to Barnstaple, the Tarka trail and nearby beaches.

We had a wonderful week at Dairy Cottage. The cream tea was a super jesture on arrival and a Christmas tree was also put up in the living room for the build up to Christmas. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well. We had everything we needed for a great getaway. Thank you so much.

Excellent location in lovely village with parking outside the door and a good pub within walking distance- what more could you want! The secret garden was a delight, and the owner very helpful and friendly.

This was possibly the best holiday cottage we've stayed in, and we've stayed in a lot. It was spacious, very well-equipped, easy to find and quiet. Sadly the weather was pants, so we didn't get to use the garden, but it would be a lovely place to sit with a glass of something on a warm evening.
