Escape to this beautiful home perched above the River Taw, and discover a perfect retreat nestled amidst rolling hills and picturesque landscapes. A home which offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and surrounded by beautiful wildlife from kingfishers, otters, herons and much more. Explore the nearby Tarka Trail, perfect for leisurely walks, bike rides and simply immersing yourself in the stunning scenery of the River, whilst you are also never too far from the sun-kissed beaches and turquoise waters along the North Devon coast including hot spots such as Westward Ho!, Saunton Sands and Woolacombe, all providing golden sands and fine local eateries within 16 miles. Both national parks of Dartmoor (27 miles) and Exmoor (12 miles) sit within easy reach hosting challenging treks amongst the moor’s beauty. Finally, don’t forget to drift further afield for a day at the cathedral city of Exeter (30 miles) accessible both by car or train from Umberleigh Station, and hosting a wide choice of shops for that retail therapy. 

Stepping into this quirky romantic retreat you will soon be immersed in an abundance of style and colour, created by the vast array of stunning artwork and design. Muddy countryside walks and beach days mean sandy shoes, welly boots and raincoats and thus the light opening hallway provides the perfect entrance to slip those off before making your way into the beautiful lounge, an area flooded with natural light from the floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that frame the countryside and river beyond. The space features wonderfully chic sofas along with a Smart TV allowing guests to truly relax on those movie nights in. Heading back through the home you’ll find a well-appointed kitchen hosting everything needed for a stress-free stay, whilst the dining room next door hosts a truly perfect spot for laid back meals with your favourite tipple, again providing corner views over the pretty gardens. The two bedrooms continue the trend of luxury, one hosting a king-size and the other a double with both of these supplying ample storage spaces. Completing this glorious home is a family shower room with shower and WC, and additional WC.

Wake up to the tranquil sounds of the flow of the river and head outside to breathe in the fresh country air as you sip your morning coffee on the raised river-side balcony, where there is a choice of comfortable and dining seating to choose from. The outdoor facilities of this home are truly what set this apart to your typical getaway, the multi-level gardens full of wild flowers play host to your private sauna, in addition to the innovative 'Ornate Garden Ovalhouse' pod complete with 360 degree windows, luxury seating, mood lighting, heating, Bluetooth sound bar, WIFI and board games making it a truly perfect spot to enjoy you break away in the stunning Devon countryside.
