Overlooking the rolling hillsides of North Devon, the setting of this quaint cottage is as pretty as a picture. It's a scene best admired from the beautifully maintained suntrap garden, which you'll have all for yourselves. Inside, there's an obligatory fireplace to curl up beside with your four-legged friends, and upstairs, discover two traditionally styled bedrooms perfectly in keeping with the home's character. You'll need a car to explore here as there are no local amenities in your nearest village, Bishops Nympton. But Exmoor's vast beaches and the vibrant market town of South Molton are just a short drive away.

About Exmoor
Straddling Devon and Somerset, Exmoor might be one of the UK’s smaller national parks, but you’d never know it when you’re there. Exmoor’s 700 square kilometres take in endless moors clad in a purple sea of soft heather, babbling rivers, and sheer cliffs that drop into the clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
