Set in a secluded spot on the edge of Exmoor, home of the Exmoor ponies and red deer, this stunning countryside cottage is the perfect rural retreat for couples and families who love nothing better than walking, hiking and cycling through the great outdoors.
Charming limestone flooring and a feature roaring wood burner set the scene for pure relaxation in the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner at the heart of this home-from-home. Perfectly combining rustic features including exposed brickwork with sophisticated homely touches, this social space beckons tired travellers to unwind and dine with loved ones after a busy day of adventuring. Sharing the same charm and character as the rest of the ground floor, the first king-size bedroom, downstairs, is a haven of tranquillity, whilst the second king-size bedroom, upstairs, accessed via the paddle staircase from the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, offers a peaceful escape steeped in character, boasting a charming round window and sloping ceiling. From sunrise to sunset, the enclosed courtyard is an oasis of calm; dine alfresco with a glass of something chilled or catch some sublime melting sunsets from the comfort of the hot tub.
Known as the gateway to Exmoor National Park, South Molton (5 miles) comprises a market square lined by several independent boutiques with fronts that remain practically untouched by time. Sample the area''s best local produce at the market in the main square held twice a week or head to Barnstaple, 13 miles away, to discover a contemporary high street and historic market lanes. Keen walkers can explore the magical moorlands and woodland walks of Exmoor, 5 miles away, or discover the traffic-free Tarka Trail to journey to the North Devon coastline; follow the estuary to reach the sandy dune-backed Instow Beach, 22 miles away.
Mr Sheppard
Great property you can tell the owners have put a lot of thought into, amenities and ere hood and most things you need were supplied, the house was spotlessly clean with a great hot tub and log fire to help you relax from the daily grind
Mr Siggins
Absolutely gorgeous! Highly recommended to anyone looking for that perfect country escape. Tom and Jackie were absolutely lovely and it was such a relaxing break with 5 star touches. The hot tub was amazing and the beds were very comfortable. We’ll be back again, really recommended to anyone looking for a lovely escape to the countryside with warm furnishings and clean and tidy living spaces. Thank you so much Tom and Jackie.
