This is where you go to get away from the stress of the world. Cut off from civilization, this charming cottage in the South Devon countryside makes for an idyllic base for long country hikes and picnics on the hilltops. Enjoy the spectacular views from the garden and soak up the sound of silence in a pretty villa packed with modern furniture that beautifully offsets the quaint feel of this converted farmstead. Stroll around the pond just outside and say hello to the ducks, thankful for the quacks that remind you you're far from home.

About Devon

With its vibrant cities, wild moors and picture-perfect beaches – we can see why so many poets and writers, such as Ted Hughes, Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle, have been inspired by its stunning landscapes. Chic waterside towns such as Salcombe and Dartmouth appeal to yachties, while Totnes attracts a more alternative crowd. Or head to Exeter with its cathedral and riverside bars and restaurants on the picturesque quay....
