Travel down a winding lane surrounded by rolling countryside to discover the picturesque village of Zeal Monachorum. Just 7 miles from Crediton and set on the grounds of a friendly pub, this peaceful cottage is the perfect base for exploring the heart of Devon. Keen walkers will relish days spent navigating rural trails and climbing hills for breathtaking views, returning satisfied, weary and ready for a hearty meal and refreshing ale while basking in the warmth of the roaring fire.

Stepping into this upside-down style property, you’ll be charmed by the welcoming neutral decor and ambient lighting. The main bathroom and utility room are on the ground floor alongside the cosy bedrooms. Featuring two twins and a double with an en-suite, all three are irresistible. Upstairs, the open-plan living space is light-filled and offers stunning views. The private balcony is an ideal place for a pre-dinner tipple, or curl up by the electric fire in the lounge. Swap stories over decadent dinners at the table, prepared in the well-equipped kitchen. Children will love playing games on the shared lawn as the adults prepare a feast on the shared BBQ.

With access to plenty of leisure facilities on-site such as squash courts, a five-a-side pitch, and an outdoor adventure playground, you’ll be spoilt for choice on activities. There is even a heated indoor pool that guests can access for free, but be sure to check availability before you swim. Venture further afield to explore the majestic Dartmoor landscape, 11 miles away, or one of the chocolate-box villages dotted throughout, such as beautiful Throwleigh 13.5 miles away or South Zeal, 11 miles away.
