This spacious wing of an attractive 18th-century farmhouse is located in a pretty Exmoor hamlet, close to the village of Parracombe and equidistant to the popular Exmoor coastal villages of Lynton and Combe Martin. This lovely property is very comfortably furnished and is ideal for families with great amenities including three bedrooms and four bathrooms and with a private hot tub for that added little bit of luxury. This attractive and well appointed property will not disappoint and will soon become a firm favourite with visitors to Exmoor and North Devon.

Inside the property and on the ground floor, guests will find two interconnecting lounge areas, both offering comfortable seating for five and one with a wood burner and large TV and the second with a Smart TV and a Playstation 4, making this ideal for multi-generational family groups. An attractive dining room is adjacent to a newly fitted and well-equipped kitchen, even with a Ninja Air Fryer - great facilities for formal evening meals or leisurely breakfasts whilst making plans for the day ahead. Completing the ground floor area is a stylish shower room adjacent to an external door which opens out onto a fully enclosed stone patio with private hot tub for five. Three good-sized and attractive en-suite bedrooms are on the first floor. A double with en-suite shower, a bedroom with twin beds with zip and link option to be made into a super-king with en-suite shower room and a further double room which leads through to a bedroom area with bunk beds and en-suite bathroom facilities.

A small fully enclosed garden can be found at the front of the farmhouse and a large elevated lawned garden area (steps access) which offers beautiful countryside views. Visitors have shared use of a table tennis table in an adjacent barn and as the owners have riding stables next door, why not take advantage and explore this special part of North Devon on horseback? All riders are welcome and lessons can be arranged for an extra charge.

This is a wonderful area for walkers with an abundance of footpaths close by and easy access to spectacular coastal paths in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This quiet location is a peaceful retreat after a day out exploring the surrounding Exmoor countryside by foot, horseback or car.

Had a great stay at Lower Dean Farm, would definitely recommend. Ashley and Tracey were great hosts and were easy to get hold of should you have any questions. The EV charging for the car was also easy to use and really convenient. It's an ideal base for visiting anywhere on the north coast.

The owners were friendly and helpful. The property was lovely and clean. If you want a quiet location situated in the beautiful north Devon countryside, on the edge of Exmoor and only 15 minutes from the sea, this is the place for you. Wood burner and hot tub were the cherries on the cake.

Brilliant property, owners on site but very friendly and non intrusive. Well equipped and comfortable property with everything you need and more. Lovely welcome pack and they also made our 2 dogs very welcome which was very important to us. All of the above led to a very relaxing stay for the whole family, dogs included.

Lower Dean Farm is as shown in photographs except for the lounge which in natural light is not as bright as shown but the other lounge is a lovely bright room. The outside space is good and the garden is splendid with so many seating areas to choose from. I initially thought it might be shared but no, it's all yours. The Play Barn was enjoyed by myRead more 19 year old kids and moving the table enables us to create a soft ball court. It's in a lovely quiet hamlet and very relaxing. Hide

Amazing hosts and an amazing cottage. Couldn't fault anything in the cottage. Bonus of having stables next door which the kids loved going to daily to see the horses. My wife and daughter even had a horse riding lesson. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a warm and welcoming cottage.
