The cottage is situated within the Exmoor National Park, a beautiful, rugged moorland offering many miles of scenic walks and cycle paths. You will be surrounded by acres of stunning countryside yet just 2.5 miles from the popular village of Parracombe with its charming pub. Beach lovers will relish the sand at Combe Martin and Woolacombe which are both within easy reach. Visit the pretty sister towns of Lynton and Lynmouth, often referred to as Little Switzerland with their famous cliff railway, shops and eateries. Other places of interest in the area include Exmoor Zoo, Combe Martin Wildlife Park, and the market towns of Barnstaple and South Molton which offer an array of amenities.

Tucked away up a private lane lies this cosy detached cottage, which is situated on a 10,000-acre working farm and is bursting with charm and character. Entering this delightful property, you are immediately greeted by the light and airy hall. From here head into the small lounge which has a cosy wood burner - settle in for a snug evening with a feast, a bottle of wine and a film on the TV/DVD. From the hall, step into the perfectly equipped kitchen/diner which has an electric hob and oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and microwave. It is a great space for cooking lazy breakfasts or trying out new recipes. There is also a washing machine conveniently tucked away under the stairs. Completing the downstairs accommodation is a family bathroom with a shower over bath and WC. When the day draws to a close, head upstairs from the hall and retire to bed in one of the three bedrooms, a king-size and two single bedrooms.

Venturing outside from the back door is a garden with outside seating for everyone and far-reaching views of Exmoor. You will also find a gas BBQ, ideal for a spot of al fresco dining. The enclosed lawned garden wraps around the cottage and is great for children and your dogs to play in. The property also features ample off-road parking.

Thank you for a wonderful weeks stay. Accommodation was very clean and comfortable , ideal for 2 Dalmatian's. The property is well located close to most places that you would want to visit whilst staying in North Devon. Not forgetting the beautiful walks from the front doorstep. Hopefully we will be back in the Spring.

A wonderfully warm cottage which was ideal for our January break. The woods and gardens of the Manor House were a real bonus stunning. We had our two Labradors with us and the cottage and grounds were perfect for our exploration of the Devon coastline.

Really nice place. We all enjoyed the time here. It is a good place to switch off from everyday life. Being woken up in the morning by birds is definitely better than car noise.

Location was stunning and ideal for a North Devon holiday. Cottage was peaceful and welcoming with lovely surroundings. However, unfortunately, the customer service was shocking. We arrived to find no travel cot and highchair for our 2.5yr old despite it saying there were these available. Phoned all numbers given and even left a message with no repRead morely! Had to take mattress off of kids bed and make a floor bed for our little girl so she could sleep! Hide

It was a lovely cottage in a beautiful area; the only downside is the garden is advertised as being fully enclosed and it wasnt. We have a very curious little pug who escaped several times, so that did spoil it a little bit
