Surrounded by idyllic countryside in the heart of rural Devon, escape the hustle and bustle of daily life with a stay at this charming cottage. Set in a small complex of three holiday cottages on the owner’s working farm, this two-bedroom abode welcomes couples, small families and groups of friends – including your four-pawed companions! Ideally located between the Cornish coast and Dartmoor National Park, fill your days with seaside strolls and moorland hikes before returning here to sip a cuppa on the decking, gazing across the open countryside.

Arranged over two storeys, this semi-detached cottage has a smart, modern aesthetic with calming colours and plenty of cosy touches. With a subtle seaside theme, the light-filled lounge invites relaxation after a day of exploring, with patio doors leading outside. The modern, country-style kitchen has all the essentials for cooking up a storm before gathering around the dining table to share food and laughter. Head upstairs for a blissful night’s sleep in one of two spacious bedrooms set beneath the eaves. Choose between a king-size and a twin room, both with en-suites. Private, enclosed decking surrounds the property with a picnic table, a BBQ, a bistro table and chairs, and two lounge chairs for soaking up the sun or stargazing into the night. Guests also have access to a shared games barn along with a paddock for exercising dogs.

Wake up to the sound of birdsong as you pull on your walking boots and set out to explore. There’s a range of walks from the property, while Cockworthy Forest is just 4 miles away. The market town of Okehampton (13 miles) is a gateway to Dartmoor National Park, and this thriving town is a haven for foodies with a weekly market and an assortment of independent shops and eateries. Alternatively venture to the coast, with Bude’s glorious beaches 18 miles west.
