If golf is more your pursuit, the local golf course is only a 25-minute drive away.  Enjoy indoor activities at Crediton Leisure Centre which offers a swimming pool and gym.

The property can be accessed either via external stone steps leading to the first floor, or there is an external door from the garden leading into the ground floor. Upon entering this character cottage via the external steps, you will find yourself in the open-plan living and dining room, located on the first floor. This spacious area features a comfortable sofa for putting your feet up after exploring the local area, made even better with the Smart TV to catch up with your favourite shows. The cosy kitchen area is also located on this floor and comprises all you will need for your break away, with an electric oven and hob, fridge with ice compartment, dishwasher and microwave.

The owners of the property were very welcoming and on hand if we had any problems.

A very warm welcome on arrival and the owners were on hand, but not obtrusive, during our stay. If you want to relax in a peaceful location, remote from the crowds, this is ideal. The only noise was from the birds singing - one of the quietest cottages we have ever stayed in. A little ramshackle and quirky in design, but very comfortable.
