1 Bed in Tawstock (oc-s45343)

Sitting within a peaceful native copse, this bespoke cabin provides a serene retreat with sweeping views across the rolling countryside of North Devon. Dogs and horses are warmly welcome, making it ideal for those travelling with animals. Guests are free to wander through the 400-acre estate with private valleys rich in open fields, lush hedgerows, ancient farm tracks, charming woodland, quiet lakes and gentle hills. Wildlife abounds across the estate, from roe deer to otters. Perfectly situated for a variety of escapes, it’s an excellent base for coastal walks, cycling adventures, golf breaks and carp fishing. Nearby Barnstaple (4 miles) offers vibrant markets and local charm, while the stunning beaches, scenic coastal paths, and renowned golf courses are all within easy reach. Explore beautiful gardens, National Trust properties, and the wild landscapes of Exmoor, or visit picturesque seaside villages known for their welcoming pubs, cosy cafés and delicious ice creams.


If you're looking for a romantic break, this wooden cabin delivers. Upon arrival, a decked veranda offers spectacular views over the rolling hills of North Devon. The central area houses the lounge/kitchen with a comfortable sofa and a Smart TV with Netflix, and enjoys views of the open countryside. The kitchen area is well equipped to cook a delicious breakfast or a light snack. Just off the central lounge/kitchen is the bedroom area, which comprises a double bed. Completing the accommodation is a shower room with a shower and WC, which is accessed just beside the cabin. Next to the shower room are pegs where you can hang wetsuits after a day on the beach.


Heading outside to the undercover decked area, relax after a day’s adventures while soaking up the views across the rolling countryside. Enjoy some al fresco dining on the charcoal BBQ and afterwards toast some marshmallows on the fire pit, complete with log stools. There is a field for dogs and children to play in, and guests are welcome to explore the whole estate. With the owners, children can collect eggs from the chickens, visit the ducks and ducklings at the fenced pond, and ride Jumbo, a miniature Shetland pony; you’ll also find 20 friendly horses and ponies in nearby paddocks. Horses are welcome for an extra charge, payable directly to the owner, with grazing, undercover tie-ups when tacking up, and the use of the all-weather arena (advanced booking advised). Riding is superb, along farm tracks, up and down undulating hills, across grassy pastures, through beautiful woodlands, past scenic lakes, and with hardly any gates to open. Beach and Exmoor rides are only a short distance by horsebox. To the side of the property, there is off-road parking for two cars.
