Situated in the heart of the rolling countryside, this holiday cottage is the perfect base for a superb getaway in North Devon. With plenty of space for a large group, plus a great location near the coast, this property is ideal for a family holiday, reunion, or special celebration. The thriving village of Braunton is just a short 5-mile drive away, and there is an acre of grounds to explore from the doorstep, through beautiful gardens and enchanting woodland.

This 18th-century property is simply spectacular and offers ample space for 12 guests. The slate-floored kitchen sits alongside an exquisite dining room, with an original bread oven and vast oak table, perfect for family gatherings. Also on the ground floor are several delightful reception rooms, including a games room with a pool table, and a lounge with a cosy wood burner. Upstairs, there is a family bathroom and five bedrooms, two of which have en-suite shower rooms for added privacy. Outside, the gardens offer several spaces for relaxation. Patio doors from the kitchen open to an outdoor dining area, and on the opposite side of the house, steps lead to a tranquil lawn and courtyard. Along the lane, there is an extra lawn area, or guests can take a stroll to the top of the nearby meadow and admire the beautiful, wooded valley.

A day trip to the surfing haven of Braunton, just 5 miles away, is a must, where you can book surf lessons or visit the surfing museum. Croyde and Woolacombe beaches are just 7 miles away for a day of sun, sand and surf, or if you fancy a day of shopping, Barnstaple is 6 miles – the largest town in North Devon. Those seeking a fun family day out should head to Combe Martin (9 miles) and visit the dinosaur park, or just 14 miles away is Exmoor Zoo with nearly 200 species of animals, birds and reptiles.

The house is very roomy and well equipped. It is in a tiny hamlet in rural Devon and is about 30 minutes drive from both Braunton and Barnstaple, and the nearest pubs, supermarkets, shops, and the beach.

Beautiful and very spacious cottage. The photos dont do the size of the cottage justice. Very well equipped kitchen, there wasnt anything they didnt have and a lovely size. All bedrooms were fabulous especially the super large one and beds were comfortable. Log fire was lovely to relax in front of. Great selection of games and books and the adRead moreded bonus of the pool table went down great with everyone. The only thing to be mindful of is the entrance to the driveway which is narrow, I think youd struggle to get a Range Rover in there. Beaches nearby, supermarket not too far but do need a car to get about. Host was really responsive to any messages and helpful with information about the area. We were a party of 4 adults, 5 older teenagers and there was plenty of space. Highly recommend. I also think you could add a hot tub with the space you have but I know the running costs are expensive. Hide

Our stay at Stepps Farm was wonderful, the location tucked away in Marwood was quiet and relaxing, but an easy 20 minute drive away from everywhere we like to visit. It was one of the best quipped holiday cottages we have ever stayed in, from the kitchen, to the many TV's, games, books and the snooker table all of which was much appreciated.
