This delightful rural cottage, packed with original period features, is perfect for a small family or two couples sharing. Sleeping four guests, it is set on a working farm in rolling countryside, just 4 miles from the cathedral city of Exeter. The moors and rivers of the magnificent Dartmoor National Park are within 9 miles, while sandy beaches at Exmouth and Dawlish Warren are 14 miles away.

The cottage is beautifully furnished in country style against a backdrop of beams, whitewashed stone walls and vaulted ceilings on the first floor. Relax in the light and spacious, open-plan living area, where comfortable sofas sit before the wood burner, housed in an impressive stone chimney breast. At the far end of the room are a dining area and a streamlined kitchen. A finely crafted wooden spiral staircase leads to the first floor and two charming bedrooms: a king-size and a twin. There is also a family bathroom and a cosy, hideaway nook with bean bags on the landing. Outside, a shared courtyard to the front has garden furniture and a BBQ.

Dartmoor has a wealth of footpaths across a wild landscape encompassing open moorland, river valleys, clapper bridges and ancient stones. The picturesque small town of Chagford (13.5 miles), has excellent independent shops, galleries and eating places, with walks to the beautiful River Teign flowing nearby. Splendid Castle Drogo (11 miles), owned by the National Trust, is set in wonderful gardens, with a path leading to the famous Teign Gorge. Exeter’s many attractions include the historic cathedral, an outstanding city museum and art gallery, and tours of medieval underground passages. The bustling quayside alongside the River Exe offers shops, restaurants and boat trips, while for high-flying fun, visit Go Ape (5 miles).
