This delightful stone cottage is located in a courtyard with two other cottages and the shared indoor swimming pool. At the front of the property, you will have access to a bistro set where you can sit and relax with a fresh morning coffee.

As you step through the stable door, you will be greeted by an open-plan kitchen/dining/living room. The kitchen provides everything you should need including an electric oven, an induction hob, a fridge/freezer, a microwave and a dishwasher. Meanwhile, the two-seater dining table provides the perfect setting to enjoy meals together with views across the courtyard.

The elegantly designed living room is a particularly cosy space. Relax on the comfortable sofa with your favourite programme on the Smart TV and the ambience of the crackling wood-burning stove.

Upstairs, there is one beautifully decorated king-size bedroom with a cot room attached, so you and your baby are guaranteed a good night's sleep. There is also a separate wet room with a walk-in shower.

You will have access to a host of on-site leisure facilities that are shared by guests of all cottages:

The grounds also provide a combined 5-aside football pitch, a badminton and grass tennis court, croquet, boules, cricket and a putt golf course.

Swimming pool and games room

Location

The neighbourhood

The cottage is located in the picturesque Devon countryside, posing many pretty walking routes close by for you and your four-legged friends to explore. The Exmoor National Park is particularly stunning with its dramatic coastline, stretching from Minehead in the east to Combe Martin in the west.

There are many beautiful beaches to visit in North Devon, with the nearest being Combe Martin Beach, just 2 miles away. Barricane Beach, Woolacombe and Saunton Sands are also great for days spent strolling through the sand, going for a dip in the sea or relaxing in the sunshine.
