Although peacefully located in the countryside, the welcoming town of South Molton is only 4 miles away from the barn, where you can enjoy a bite to eat or pick up some supplies from the independent shops or twice-weekly market. Exmoor National Park is 10 miles away, where you’ll find lots of opportunities for outdoor adventure, or you can head to the coast (25 miles) to have a paddle on the beaches at Instow, Westward Ho! and Croyde. You’ll also find the traffic-free Tarka Trail within half a mile which is perfect for a scenic walk or bike ride. Barnstaple is 15 miles from the barn which hosts a popular Pannier Market, and Bideford is 23 miles, where you can hop aboard a boat trip to Lundy Island. Also within 23 miles are the exciting attractions of RHS Rosemoor, Tapeley Park, and Arlington Court.

Follow the stone ramp to the front door of the barn and enter the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Here, comfortable sofas surround the TV/DVD, so you can put your feet up after a day of exploring and relax with a movie or two. The kitchen area is equipped with all the essentials, including an electric oven and hob, microwave and fridge/freezer. Also on the ground floor is the first of the bedrooms, a cosy twin room with an en-suite WC. Head upstairs and discover the remaining two bedrooms, a king-size and a twin bedroom, both of which have been beautifully styled to offer a restful night’s sleep. Completing the offering on this floor is a contemporary bathroom with a shower over bath and WC.

Outside and to the rear of the barn is a small, enclosed patio featuring a BBQ and some garden furniture so you can sine alfresco on a warm evening. The gardens for each cottage on the complex are separated by picket fences with gates, which can be opened should you wish to socialise with your neighbours! For a special occasion, the property also boasts a spa-grade hot tub with magnificent views and luxury robes which can be booked for 2 hours at an additional cost of £45, arranged directly with the owner. There is also private off-road parking for one car.

Shared on-site facilities include a children’s play area and play barn, a summerhouse with seating and coffee-making facilities, alpaca walking experience (at an additional cost), a dog exercise paddock, an alpaca field with hammocks, and 18 acres of grounds with cut walkways leading to outdoor seating areas.

Gander Cottage was lovely. The owners were friendly and the views and stars spectacular. The only thing I would change is that the garden is only accessible by walking out the front door and around the side of the cottage. Therefore, if you have dogs you can't let them straight into the garden. I think the other cottages have direct access.
