Situated in the desirable village of Sandford next door to a popular pub, this charming property promises a peaceful stay to guests. Cosy and welcoming, this gorgeous cottage is an opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy a tranquil stay among pretty character features and all your creature comforts. Wake up refreshed, hop out of bed and soak up the stunning views of the open countryside before taking an indulgent rainfall shower in the contemporary shower room.

Whether you’re soaking up the sun in the garden listening to the birds or you’re snuggled up in the lounge with a good book, you’ll find your favourite corner here. The compact kitchen has everything you need to cook up a storm and has a wonderfully contemporary country style. Comfortable sofas in the lounge beckon you to sink into them in front of the wood burner, watching your favourite film on the Smart TV. At bedtime, climb the steep stairs and slip between the sheets in one of the peaceful bedrooms, getting a great night’s sleep so you’re ready for a day of exploration tomorrow.

Visit Exeter’s Underground Passages (10 miles) where the fascinating 14th-century passages have an intriguing history, or explore the city’s cathedral and its many shops, cafes and restaurants. Hire bikes or kayaks from Saddles and Paddles and travel down the Exe Estuary Trail or on the river itself for an exerting yet fun day out. Wander the woods at Killerton House (16 miles) where little ones will find lots of play equipment to swing on. Clyston Mill (15 miles) is a historic working watermill in a beautiful riverside setting that is well worth a look around.

The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. The cream tea when we arrived was lovely and perfect after the journey. We would happily stay here again and recommend.

We had a lovely week staying in this cottage. The cottage is well equipped and cozy. It's a good location if you want to be able to travel across Devon, with plenty of places for our 2 huskies to enjoy. The village is lovely (I'd recommend parking down the side road at the bottom of the hill), and would highly recommend the Lamb Inn. I'd definitelyRead more recommend staying here. Hide

We had a lovely stay at this cottage. It is a beautiful cottage in a lovely small village. The hosts were kind enough to leave us some things to settle in, which was much appreciated. We enjoyed walking our dog in the local area and going to the local pub. Also, parking isn't a problem because you can park on the road down the hill.

This is a charming little cottage with all the amenities required. It served us well whilst visiting relatives in the area. You need to be relatively fit and able to access the cottage.

Excellent location and well-equipped property. The accommodation is in need of some TLC, a hard and busy season is starting to show. There is no way this property should be marketed as being situated on a rural road; this road is extremely busy and, unfortunately, used as a rat run by many of Devon's boy racers. Dog owners need to be aware the gardRead moreen is not attached to the property. Very difficult to find in the dark, even with directions, a torch is recommended. Hide
