Cosy cottage in the Blackdown Hills, Devon

A very warm welcome to our our cosy 3 bedroom holiday cottage nestled in the heart of the Blackdown Hills an area of outstanding natural beauty. This newly converted barn is welcoming and is furnished to a high standard with everything you need for a memorable holiday. Spacious open plan layout with well equipped kitchen area leading through to a comfortable lounge/dining area. Private parking at the front and private courtyard garden with bbq (please note that charcoal is not provided) and table and chairs at the rear, with 6 person hot tub, incorporating 5 seats and a lounger, with views across the fields to the woodland beyond. Please note that we do not allow parties and as this is a destination for people to relax and recharge, we ask that noise is kept to a minimum after 10pm. We are a rural location and wifi can sometimes be slow/intermittent. Please note that the garden is not fully fenced at the rear, but is roped off only. There is also a swing in the garden to keep children entertained. With such close proximity to nature it is likely that you will hear the nightly chorus of owls and see deer roaming in the fields. You can enjoy amazingly clear views of the night sky. Please note that there are 3 steps leading down from the cottage to the garden area. Also the property is attached to the owners house next door and situated in fields next to a working cattle farm. Within the grounds we have friendly chickens and at your request, freshly laid eggs can be provided on arrival. The nearest village, Dunkeswell is a 5 minute drive where you will find a well equipped grocery shop, Indian restaurant, bar and fish and chip shop.
