  • A cosy cottage situated on Exmoor National Park
  • A perfect peaceful retreat and dog-friendly
  • Enjoy picturesque walks from your doorstep
Property code: OC-L28026

Treat yourselves to a relaxing break at this peaceful retreat for two plus your furry friend on the North Devon coast in a gorgeous setting within Exmoor National Park. The cottage is all one level and perfect for enjoying the nearby coast, country, and wildlife, and visiting Devon’s pretty towns and villages, then relaxing in the patio with a cool drink.

The idyllic cottage combines charming original features with contemporary comforts. Step into the inviting lounge/diner where you’ll want to snuggle up on the sofa and watch movies – the sofa doubles up as a sofa bed for flexible sleeping arrangements. Enjoy mealtimes at the dining table that you’ve created in the country-style kitchen next door. After a fun day, have a great night’s sleep in the gorgeous double bedroom, with rustic furniture for all your holiday clothes, after a relaxing shower in the smart, contemporary shower room. On warm evenings, why not fire up the BBQ and enjoy drinks and dinner under the stars on the patio while the pup potters in and out.

Due to the rural position of this cottage, it is necessary to drive along an unmade, narrow lane.

Discover the stunning moorlands and wild ponies on walks on Exmoor, visit Lynton and Lynmouth, two pretty villages connected by a cliffside funicular railway, where you’ll find lots of shops, pubs, and cafes to visit, as well as pretty riverside walks. Spend the day on the beach on any of the gorgeous sandy beaches nearby, including Combe Martin’s two, the main harbour beach and Newberry beach (8 miles). Follow the South West Coast Path up Little Hangman to Great Hangman viewpoint (2 miles) for spectacular views. Take your clubs and play the breathtakingly pretty course at Ilfracombe Golf Club (10.5 miles).

We enjoyed our stay very much, Clive (the owner) was very friendly and nothing was too much for him to make our stay a pleasant one.

What a lovely, quiet location with such views and so peaceful. Yes, the road to the cottage is narrow and steep, what do you expect in North Devon. Truly a restful week out in the country with no lights to be seen.

We cant complain about anything in the cottage, it was very well equipped and comfortable The NO below is to do with the lane not the cottage which as I said was very nice indeed.
