Set in the breathtaking North Devon countryside, this charming stone cottage is perfect for a small family or two couples looking for a holiday away together. The two-bedroom hideaway is peacefully nestled in the village of Swimbridge, only 6.5 miles from the walking and cycling trails of the Exmoor National Park. Enjoy a reviving morning in the lovely garden before you set off on your adventures, with the relaxing sound of the babbling river running nearby.
Step into the cottage and be greeted with a welcoming warmth and a homely atmosphere. The comfortable lounge with its stone chimney breast is the ideal space to put your feet up and watch TV. In the kitchen/diner, you'll find all the necessary equipment to make delicious meals for your family and friends. Upstairs, you'll find a double bedroom with en-suite shower room, and a twin bedroom. Also on this floor, you'll find the family bathroom.
Take a short stroll over to your private, fenced garden which is 20 metres from the cottage. Here, you can relax in the sunshine, take in the stunning views of the river and look out for local wildlife on the decking area floating above the river.
The cottage is just 4.5 miles from Barnstaple, a bustling town with plenty to explore. From the colourful pannier market to the independent shops, there's something for everyone. If you're feeling adventurous, why not explore the nearby national park of Exmoor? With walking and cycling routes, you're sure to find plenty of things to do. For a day of relaxation, take a trip to the stunning Saunton Sands, just 13 miles away. A famous surfing spot, you can spend the day splashing about in the sea or enjoying a picnic on the beach.
