About this property
Escape to rural Devon, where this spacious and characterful cottage provides the perfect backdrop for family gatherings and special occasions. Part of a small complex of three holiday cottages next to the owner’s working farm, this dog-friendly property offers ample accommodation for up to eight guests. Perfectly poised between the Cornish coast and Dartmoor National Park, fill your days with seaside strolls and moorland hikes. Then hurry home for sociable meals and evenings bubbling beneath the stars.
Wrapped in a fully enclosed garden and patio, this two-storey cottage has plenty of space for kids and dogs to run free. Inside, the harmonious blend of rustic charm and contemporary flair combine to create a warm, inviting atmosphere, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. With three large sofas arranged around a TV and a wood burner set in a feature fireplace, the lounge sets the scene for memorable evenings. Next door, a pool room promises laughter-filled nights challenging your travelling companions. The spacious, country-style kitchen is well equipped for feeding your crowd, while a farmhouse-style dining table promises fun evening meals. The entertainment continues outside with a picnic table and a BBQ for al fresco feasts, and a hot tub for stargazing and relaxing. When night falls, head upstairs to find four spacious and comfortable bedrooms. Choose between two king-size bedrooms, each with private en-suites, and two twin rooms which share the family bathroom.
Guests have access to a shared games room and a paddock for exercising the dogs, or you can set off on foot to explore nearby walks, including Cockworthy Forest (4 miles). Venture to the market town of Okehampton to stock up on local produce at the weekly market or browse independent shops and eateries. The town acts as a gateway to Dartmoor National Park, while the opposite direction takes you to the Cornish coast and the award-winning beaches and spectacular surf of Bude (18 miles).
