Experience a slower pace of life when staying in the Devonshire village of Willand, a chocolate box village with easy access to the Blackdown Hills AONB and the East Devon coast. Decorated throughout with boho interiors, this charming two-storey cottage offers the perfect place for any group to stay. Sleeping five guests and one dog, the property has been lovingly updated to feature comfortable interiors and cosy surroundings that any family or small group of friends can enjoy. Whether you’re settling in front of the wood burner on a cold evening or enjoying summer nights in the garden, this characterful cottage provides a truly remarkable place to stay.

The hub of this house is the spacious kitchen/diner where a generous dining table provides room for all to sit and eat together. The kitchen is on-hand for turning locally sourced goodies into mouth-watering meals, perfect for whether you're dining indoors or alfresco. Step through into the cosy lounge where plenty of comfortable seating options surround a wood burner and smart TV, the ideal spot to recharge before the next adventure-filled day to come. Naturally, you'll need to get a good night's sleep to fully enjoy Devon's wonders and three beautifully laid out bedrooms on the first floor are on hand for rest.

We loved our stay at Culm Cottage. It was perfectly located for us, well equipped and beautifully cosy. The owners went above and beyond to ensure we had everything needed, including deliveries of firewood on a particularly chilly week.

The cottage has been decorated and finished beautifully whilst still keeping its charm. Dogs are very welcome and there is plenty of space to exercise them in the adjoining fields owned by them. Its very easy to explore the area from this cottage

A very comfortable cosy cottage. Ideal for a few days stay in the area. The attached field is very handy for dog walks night and morning. Our spaniel loved to run in the long grass. Cottage situated in small village with easy access to north and south coasts. Knightshayes N.T. is worth a visit .

Convient and comfortable location for exploring Devon. Lovely place for those of us with a dog with a field to play in and walks on the doorstep. The directions to the cottage in the final email left a bit to be desired.

A well-appointed cottage in a sweet village outside Cullompton. A good co-op store a short drive away and a small local shop and a very pretty church.
