Once a goshawk barn, this stone cottage is the ideal love nest for two. It's situated in the South Devon countryside, and you'll be able to make the most of the idyllic views in the private garden. The wood-fired hot tub is an absolute dream – we're already picturing long soaks under the stars – while the small table makes a wonderful spot for a romantic dinner. Inside, you'll find a cosy fireplace and a quirky cow-print bathtub. In the mood to explore? You're just a short stroll from the South West Coast Path and the nearest beach.

Home truths
The main bedroom is located on the first level and requires climbing a spiral staircase. The roll-top bathtub sits directly in the room, but the loo is cleverly hidden behind a bookshelf.
Underfloor heating is available downstairs, while central heating is available upstairs.
The design may not suit everyone’s tastes. In particular, the kitchen is compact and not the most stylish.
Mobile phone coverage can be patchy in South Devon.
We suggest having a car in this area, especially if you plan to explore further afield. There's parking available for one car.
Your host provides a small supply of toiletries, milk, tea, coffee, sugar, and herbal tea to get you started.
