Treat yourself to a restful holiday in the beautiful county of Devon, only 1.5 miles from the bustling market town of Barnstaple. This delightful, detached cottage is situated within the tranquil 70-acre grounds of a magnificent country house, offering an idyllic escape for up to five guests. Experience the indoor heated swimming pool and games room with a snooker table that is shared between the occupants of the cottages – the perfect way to make the most of your stay.

Ascend the flight of external steps and enter this welcoming holiday cottage. Unpack your groceries in the kitchen/diner and enjoy a cup of tea with some freshly cooked Devonshire cider cake. Then, take your tea to the lounge, where you can relax in front of a movie, or if you'd rather, watch a DVD. Accommodation consists of two bedrooms, a twin, and a double with an additional children’s Z-bed that can be made up upon request. There is also a family bathroom. Admire the views from the private patio, or take a walk through the beautiful shared grounds. Challenge each other in the shared games room and make the most of the shared swimming pool and outdoor leisure facilities, or keep an eye on the little ones in the play area. There's also a shared laundry room on site.

Explore the 180-mile Tarka Trail, which passes straight through Barnstaple, or head towards nearby Saunton Sands beach - just 6.5 miles away - for a memorable day out. This beautiful stretch of coastline is fantastic for swimming and surfing, as well as picnicking and building mighty sandcastles. Alternatively, go fishing in the nearby rivers, take leisurely walks in the country lanes, or enjoy a spot of shopping in the town's pannier market.

The property is in a glorious location. It is very comfortable and has acceptable equipment however whilst accepting that this is an old property and is decorated in a traditional style perhaps an update on the dcor is called for.
