This pretty countryside cottage, surrounded by magnificent landscape, is ideal for smaller families, friends, or couples looking for a tranquil retreat. It is the perfect base to explore East Devon and the surrounding Blackdown Hills National Landscape. There are plenty of opportunities for walkers with scenic footpaths to the nearby villages of Rawridge and Upottery, only 2 miles away. Explore Honiton, 5.5 miles away, a historic market town known for its antique shops, traditional lace-making and as a cultural hub with a museum and gallery. Only 12 miles away, you’ll discover the charming market town of Honiton, a great choice for pretty nature walks, for foodies looking to indulge in local fare and history buffs interested in the local textile industry. Alternatively, head to the iconic Jurassic Coast with Lyme Regis less than 20 miles away, offering a seaside experience and the chance to walk beaches while fossil hunting.

This attractive two-storey property is set on a working farm with horses and sheep grazing in the meadows. Enter through the front door and kick off your shoes and hang your coats in the hallway. The cottage has a light, bright, and fresh feel. With white-washed walls, elegant decor and artwork that reflects a nature theme, you will immediately feel welcome, at home and relaxed. The cottage has a contemporary feel with pops of colour in the furnishings, bringing a vibrant energy amid the beautiful surroundings. On the ground floor, to your right along the hallway is a sleek shower room with WC. On your left is the splendid twin bedroom with plenty of space and ample storage. Move through to a kitchen featuring all the necessary appliances to whip up a lazy brunch, a picnic to go, or a favourite family dinner. The cosy living/dining room is at the rear of the property and is a lovely space to gather for chats, board games, and to plan the next day's adventure. The lounge has plenty of natural light flooding in through the patio doors and plush seats that you can sink into at the end of a day exploring. In the evening, watch your favourite box set on the Smart TV. The dining area is conveniently located just outside the kitchen. Head upstairs to discover a stylish double bedroom with natural light from the Velux windows. Opposite the bedroom is a chic, contemporary bathroom boasting an attractive claw-foot bathtub.

Outside, admire the views from the enclosed decked area with a dining table and chairs.

We recently spent a wonderful week at Stargazers View during an exceptionally hot spell, and it proved to be the perfect place to relax and unwind. The property has recently been renovated and now features a lovely new decked area, which was ideal for enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The cottage was spotlessly clean and extremely well equippeRead mored, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including a dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, and full cooker. The layout worked really well for us, with a double bedroom and bathroom upstairs, and a twin bedroom and second bathroom downstairs. The rear deck has a gate leading to a secure grassy area, making it a great space to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. Set at the top of a steep hill, the property enjoys stunning panoramic views across the valley, with visibility stretching for miles. The location is wonderfully quiet and peaceful, with the only sounds being horses and sheep grazing in the neighbouring fields, along with the faint hum of the main road several miles away. Stargazers View is aptly named, as the dark skies make it a fantastic spot for stargazing on clear nights. There are several pleasant walks directly from the property, and it also makes an excellent base for exploring the South Coast, from Weymouth through to Torquay. This is without doubt one of the best holiday properties we have stayed in. If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy peace, comfort, and beautiful countryside, we would highly recommend Stargazers View. Hide
