Property code: OC-CIDE

Surrounded by rolling Devon countryside, on the fringes of Exmoor National Park, you will find this beautiful barn conversion – the perfect base for a tranquil family holiday. Adjacent to the owner's own home, this is one of four high-quality stone-built cottages, recently converted from the original farm buildings, using eco-friendly underfloor heating. Spend your days exploring the wilds of Exmoor before returning to your peaceful home from home to unwind in the shared outdoor hot tub.

Tucked down a partly unmade lane in the tiny hamlet of Cove, this cottage boasts far-reaching views over the lush hills and valleys. The pretty stable door leads into a spacious, open-plan living/dining/kitchen. It’s a sociable space in which to gather today to unwind after days out, with wooden tones creating a calming atmosphere. Relax in front of the TV or share a special meal together while making plans for tomorrow. A useful cloakroom is also on the ground floor. On the first floor are two attractive bedrooms: the master double room and a twin room each benefiting from an en-suite shower room and decorated in neutral tones for a soothing night’s sleep. Outside, overlooking the shared front lawned garden, each cottage has an individual patio with garden furniture. A special treat is the bubbling hot tub, while kids can burn off excess energy on the trampoline.

The little town of Bampton is just 3 miles away with a lovely choice of shops pubs and restaurants, while Tiverton (6 miles) offers a wide selection of attractions including the 12th-century Tiverton Castle. Bickleigh Mill is just outside Tiverton on the River Exe and offers trout lakes and fishing with a picnic area, farm shops, a waterside tea garden and much more. Around 7 miles north, Exmoor National Park has something for everyone, whether you dream of walking, climbing, cycling or just enjoying a cream tea in the coastal resort of Lynmouth where spectacular cliffs plunge down to the sea.

Fabulous property, location was great, very quiet location. Very clean inside and all the essential equipment for our holiday. Sofa was large enough for 3 people to sit comfortably and the tub chair was also comfortable. Beds were comfortable and en-suite shower room large and very clean.

Clovelly was an hour away, good retail park near Bideford. Two pub restaurants nearby, The Exeter Inn in Brampton and The Anchor in Exebridge, both serving excellent food at reasonable prices and both dog friendly. Would stay here again in the near future as our holiday was so enjoyable. Hide

The Cider Pound is very clean, modern and well equipped. There is ample space and the accommodation is furnished very comfortably. We would recommend anyone to stay there.

They were always on hand if you needed them and nothing was too much trouble. We had some superb chats and was given sound advice on the area, eateries and places of interest. North Devon's marvellous beaches, picturesque villages and moors were in easy reach of the farm, although some country lanes could be quite narrow in places. It was a joy to return 'home' to The Cider Pound after a busy day sightseeing. Evenings could be spent soaking in the hot tub overlooking rolling hills, whilst the sun sets on glorious countryside, absolute heaven. Highly recommend a these stunning cottages.

The property was exactly as it read on the website, beautiful location, remote and quiet but close to local amenities. Furnished to a very high standard throughout, very clean and very well thought out. Everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Would definitely return and recommend these holiday cottages.

I stayed at Cider Pound with my two young boys and had a great time. The quality of the accommodation and furniture was fantastic. The grounds, hot tub and trampoline were also a great addition to just enjoy some play time. It is single track road access but is worth it for the isolation and views. We chose it for a central location, near to TivertRead moreon, with lots of similar drive times to multiple beaches. It didnt disappointment and the hosts were friendly, engaging and helpful. Hide

The photos of the gorgeous barn and surroundings are very accurate but they can not do justice to the incredible views and wonderfully relaxed atmosphere on the farm. The owners are an absolute delight, especially Gilbert who was such a star. Having the hot tub maintained so well was such a treat. There are some stunning walks not far away and ifRead more castles and national trust parkland are your thing then you are in for a treat as they are literally on your doorstep. We discovered a fabulous pub in a pretty village with quintessential thatched roofs 35 mins drive away called The Agricultural Inn. It is definitely worth a visit. I would love to book one of the barns again in the not too distant future. The furnishings and equipment are all excellent, so clean and if good quality. I was so impressed with the holiday and have described it as magical. Hide

Cider Pound is a lovely cottage located on the working Marsdens Farm amidst some of the most amazing scenery. There are amenities for children and a hot tub as an added bonus. The farm is close to all the coast and everywhere is within easy reach. The owners are very friendly, helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Well worth a visit.
