Set in its own peaceful grounds with wonderful country views, this charming property is perfect for families or groups of friends planning days of adventure across Devonshire. Sleeping six guests, this home-from-home is secluded, yet within 2 miles of the bustling market town of South Molton. Stock up on local produce at the twice-weekly market in the main square, browse independent shops, and enjoy a drink and snack in one of the town’s inviting pubs, cafes and restaurants. Discover more local fare at Quince Honey Farm (3 miles). Here, take a guided tour to meet the industrious bees and taste the delectable results of their labours; there are nectar gardens, nature trails, a soft play area, and a shop with a range of honey-based goods. The magnificent Exmoor National Park, with its wild moorland, rushing streams and deep wooded valleys, is within 6 miles – perfect for hiking and pony-trekking.
Before stepping into this peaceful holiday home, take a moment to appreciate its surroundings of rolling hills and the sounds of local wildlife. Head inside and find that the rural charm continues thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors that reveal far-reaching countryside views. Be greeted by the open-plan kitchen/diner, where you’ll find all the equipment and space needed to cook up feasts for the group. As you cook, slide open the glass balcony doors to let the fresh Devon air flow in. After dinner, move through to the sumptuous lounge and find a cosy space perfect for unwinding and planning the next day’s itinerary. Flick through the Smart TV as the wood burner casts a glow over the room, and on sunny days throw open the glass doors to look out from the Juliette balcony. For more relaxation, and perhaps a quiet moment, find the welcoming snug/games room – children should love this space. After each busy day away, three delightful bedrooms each offer a fantastic night’s sleep. Choose from a master king-size room, a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room, and a cosy twin that little ones (or adults) will love. Serving the bedrooms is a well-appointed family bathroom with a free-standing bath and walk-in shower, and another bathroom with a bath and walk-in shower.
Outside, guests will find plenty of space for unwinding and soaking in the fantastic rural views. The first-floor, glass-fronted balcony sweeps almost the entire length of the property, offering a sun-soaked spot for morning brews and evening tipples. Beneath the balcony, guests can also make use of the enclosed patio space, which is partially covered and boasts outdoor seating and a BBQ for al fresco meals together. Ample private parking is also available.
