Toast beside the wood burner and picnic in the sunshine at this gorgeous farmhouse in the heart of the Devon countryside. Sleeping seven guests, the four-bedroom, dog-friendly hideaway is near Bridestowe, 7 miles from Okehampton. Nestled on the fringes of magnificent Dartmoor National Park, it is perfect for families and couples who love nothing more than getting out in the great outdoors.
Wander inside to find a holiday haven with an abundance of character features, including exposed stonework and beams. Choose between the snug, with its Smart TV and games console, and the lounge, where you can fire up the wood burner in the stone, inglenook fireplace. Watch another Smart TV in here or play family games. The adjacent dining area features an additional wood burner to throw out a cosy glow as you linger together over long holiday meals. The kitchen/diner, with its central island, breakfast bar and Aga, has plenty of space for whipping up culinary feasts. A utility room and family shower room are also downstairs. Two staircases lead up to the first floor, where you will find your bedrooms and the family bathroom, which has a free-standing bath. The bedrooms include two lovely king-sizes, a bunk bedroom and a small double. Enjoy the spacious garden on spring and summer days. Take the children and dogs to race about the field. There is private parking for four cars at this farmhouse.
