Property code: OC-C32989

A delightful, dog-friendly hideaway in a lovely setting, this stylish Devon apartment makes a splendid, romantic retreat for couples. Sleeping just two guests, the one-bedroom property is set within a country house, 5.5 miles from the centre of Exeter and 7.5 miles from the coast at Exmouth. Enjoy it as a base from which to explore the historic city, with its famous cathedral and castle. Browse in the many shops and find an array of eateries when it comes to dining out. Pack your towels and swimming costumes and venture 9 miles down to Sandy Bay, with its golden beach and clear waters. Keen walkers can also pick up the South West Coast Path here. Venture 15.5 miles to find yourselves in the fringes of Dartmoor National Park, with its magnificent footpaths and spectacular landscapes. Head about the same distance to discover the natural beauty of the picturesque Blackdown Hills.

Make your way inside the detached country house via a side entrance that opens into a reception hall. From here, climb the stairs or take the stair lift up to the first floor of the property, where your private quarters are located. Wander along the hall to find yourselves in a cream kitchen that has been fitted out with everything you are likely to need to help you cater for yourselves with ease. Wander into the lounge/diner to sit down to your meals together and relax between your trips out. Sink back into the plump sofas to chat, read your books or enjoy a glass of wine. Catch up on your current boxset on the Smart TV, with the cosy coal-effect fire glowing in the colder months. At the end of each lovely day away together in scenic South Devon, make your way through to the sumptuous super-king-size bedroom. This can also be arranged as a twin, if discussed at booking, to ensure you have flexible sleeping arrangements. The shower room is accessed via the hallway.

Soak up the sunshine out in your private, lawned garden, while your four-legged friend keeps you company. Dine out here on fine days too and wallow in the warm bubbles of the hot tub. There is private parking for two cars with this apartment

A beautiful property with everything you could need for your stay away from home. It was quiet yet convenient for so many places in and around Exeter. Two very congenial hosts who were available by text or phone if there were any queries or problems. There is a stairlift as shown in the photographs but if this is the only way you can access an upstRead moreairs apartment, I wouldnt rely on it. However if you are able bodied, this is one property to be recommended. Hide

Very good self catering flat. Nicely decorated and furnished with enclosed garden, patio and a hot tub. Lovely and thoughtful welcome pack. Only a couple of planes a day flew over from the airport, not really a problem. Good road links to other parts of Devon.

Lovely place, yes the planes flew over at times but we enjoyed seeing them, and it wasn't that noisy, our Grandson loved the pictures we sent of them, the garden was great as we could let the dogs out safely. We had a lovely welcome pack.
