Situated within the Blackdown Hills AONB with steep ridges, valleys and picturesque villages all around, this pretty property promises a truly romantic escape to guests. Quaint and welcoming with lots of rustic charm, this cottage is an opportunity to experience coast, country and city life. The stunning Jurassic Coast, including seaside resort Lyme Regis, is just 21.5 miles away, while bustling cathedral city Exeter (20.5 miles) is ideal for shopping. Make it your own special holiday with a stay here.
You’ll find your own way to unwind here. The interiors embrace the age of the cottage, with exposed beams, original stone and brickwork dotted throughout. Snuggle up on the sofa in the lounge area of the open-plan living space, watching your favourite show on TV as the wood burner crackles in the background. Slip between the sheets in the cosy bedroom among fresh, neutral tones; wake up refreshed in the morning and head to the enclosed patio with your coffee to watch the day unfold.
Take long walks along the South West Coast Path from Sidmouth (17.5 miles), stopping at Chit Rocks and Jacobs Ladder and heading down to Budleigh Salterton (6.5 miles). If you’re more of a wanderer than a rambler, stroll the gardens of Escot House (10 miles) or the National Trust’s Killerton (12 miles). Tiverton Museum (17 miles) has 15 galleries that cover different aspects of Mid Devon life and also runs a lively programme of exhibitions and events, so check before you visit to see what’s on.
