This beautiful stone cottage forms part of a small complex of holiday retreats near the quaint Devon village of Bishops Nympton. The rural home sleeps four guests and suits families who love getting out and about in nature. You’ll find numerous walking trails to explore directly from the property, along quiet country lanes and through open farmland. You’ll also be just 7 miles from the wild and rugged landscape of Exmoor National Park. North Devon is also renowned for its magnificent beaches, boasting miles of sandy shorelines and excellent surfing conditions; from the cottage, you can spend the day at Saunton Sands, Westward Ho!, or Croyde, all within 25 miles. There are some wonderful family attractions nearby, including Quince Honey Farm (5.5 miles) and The Big Sheep (24 miles). For shopping and eating out, the market towns of South Molton (4 miles) and Barnstaple (15 miles) are within easy reach.
The cottage has a reverse-level layout and is decorated in calming, neutral tones that reflect the surrounding landscape. On the ground floor, you’ll find an elegant king-size bedroom with tranquil decor and leafy views, perfect for a good night’s sleep. There’s also a cosy bunk bedroom on this level that’s ideal for children. Rounding off the ground floor is a contemporary family bathroom. Upstairs, discover an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with French doors opening onto the patio and plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax. In one corner is a sleek kitchen area with all the equipment needed to cater for the group, and nestled under the window is a cute dining table for enjoying mealtimes together. After dinner, retire to the plump sofas in the lounge area to watch a movie on the Smart TV.
Outside, dine alfresco on the patio in the summer months or sink into the hot tub under the stars to unwind after a busy day. Guests have shared use of a children’s play area and games room, and are also welcome to meet and feed the on-site animals. Donkey rides can be arranged with the owner, as well as a range of holistic treatments. Private parking is available for two cars.
