We are in a wonderful location, surrounded by rolling hills and a short drive away from numerous stunning beaches. North Devon is for those who love the great outdoors – famed for its rugged, wild coastline, Exmoor national park, protected sand dunes and the Tarka trail, it is a walker’s paradise. The space Our home was built circa 1650 and while it looks petite from the outside, inside it opens out into a large spacious house, full of character and charm. On entry, the hallway opens out into the beautifully appointed sitting room complete with Loaf 3 seater sofa and original mid century furniture. You will also find an HD widescreen tv with Netflix and Amazon Prime etc. Continue on through one of two doorways either side of the staircase and you will find an open plan kitchen / dining room. This really is the heart of our cottage and acts as a natural gathering space for quality family time spent cooking, eating or simply conversing. The kitchen is bespoke designed, handmade, and fully stocked with everything you may require for your stay including Smeg 6 burner gas hob and oven, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. Continue on again and you will arrive in the sun room. The rear of the property faces SW and therefore gets lots of sunlight, especially in the summer months. This a great space for quiet time, reading etc. We also have bagatelle boards, books and board games for the rainy days. From the sun room you step into our walled garden which is laid to flagstones and flower beds. We have a Weber BBQ which we recommend making use of – a lovely place to be on a warm summer evening! Upstairs you will find two large double bedrooms, (front and rear of the cottage). The main bedroom at the rear (with king size bed) connects directly onto the large en suite bathroom. The other is a stunning room (with a double bed). This is in the oldest part of the house and is blessed with original exposed beams and brickwork. Both beds have high quality, divinely comfortable mattresses, ensuring a wonderful night’s sleep. The cottage has two bathrooms, one downstairs complete with shower and toilet, the other is the en suite upstairs with bath and toilet. Guest access This is your space while you stay here – you will have access to the entire house apart from one small upstairs room that is used for storage. We live in the cottage and therefore our belongings are stored in many of the cupboards, but you will find plenty of space in each bedroom for hanging and storing clothes. Other things to note A few important points to note 1. The wood burner Please do not use this. It looks good, but it’s fairly pointless and the central heating, if needed, does a great job. 2. Children 12 and under Please do not book our cottage if you wish to bring young children. We would love to accept younger children, but due to the age of the property with all its hard surfaces, different floor levels and steep stairs etc, it just isn’t child friendly. 3. Parties, excessive noise and general unwanted behaviour Please respect our neighbours. This is an old property and attached on both sides – sound travels all too easily. We have zero tolerance for parties and excessive noise of any kind. Precautions have been put in place for such incidences – you would find yourselves removed very quickly. Please be warned, this is a very close-knit community. 4. Breakages and accidental damage We understand that accidents happen! We just ask that should you break anything, please be honest and let us know immediately. 5. Enjoy your stay! You are here to have a wonderful holiday and that is our aim for you too. We believe that while you are here this is your home and that you will be relaxed, comfortable and happy. As part of your welcome pack you will find a book full of directions, tips, ideas and our favourite experiences in this beautiful part of the world. If you require any additional assistance, please just ask!
