About this property

Escape with the whole gang to this stylish home sitting on the edge of Exmoor National Park in the pretty village of Kentisbury. Sleeping eight people across four bedrooms, this is the ideal bolthole for large families or groups of friends in search of a peaceful cottage to call home while they enjoy a traditional countryside break in Devon together. During the day, take a beautiful stroll along the rugged South West Coastal Path, or head into the pretty village of Combe Martin to go kayaking. In the evening, come home to the cottage’s lovely garden and take a relaxing dip in the outdoor hot tub.

Park your car in the on-site parking area and make a beeline to this charming eco-friendly cottage. Step inside and you’ll find an inviting entrance hall that leads to a stylish kitchen and into a cosy lounge. Make yourself at home in front of the wood burner in the lounge before you whip up some dinner in the chic kitchen, which you can enjoy with your loved ones at the dining table. Alternatively, make your way out onto the deck, fire up the charcoal BBQ and dine alfresco while you soak up the beautiful countryside views. After dinner, take a luxurious dip in the bubbling outdoor hot tub, or head to the cosy snug to play board games. At the end of the day, head upstairs and you''ll discover four adorable bedrooms - two king-size rooms (one with a Juliette balcony and an en-suite shower room), a double bedroom, and a super-king with zip-and-link bed that can be converted into twins upon request. A smart family bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the layout.

Enjoy a fascinating day at Arlington Court (3 miles). Admire this magnificent Georgian mansion’s elegant interiors and its exquisite collection of art and antiques. Or pull on your walking boots and hike through the lush woodlands of Heddon Valley ( 5.5 miles). Remember to take your camera, as the hidden waterfall is a photographer''s paradise. Keep your eyes peeled for red deer and otters.
