Sitting in a quiet North Devon village, this refurbished farmhouse offers everything a family or group of friends could hope for from a countryside escape. It's also been kitted out with a few extras – hot tub, anyone? – to add a touch of luxury and ensure the memories of your time here last a lifetime. When you arrive at this homely abode, a tasteful medley of contemporary decor and original features will greet you. Budding chefs will be immediately drawn to the Sandyford Aga cooker in the traditional kitchen, while those with relaxation in mind should head straight outside to the hot tub. Upstairs, the calming bedrooms are furnished with Scandinavian-inspired pieces, adding a touch of cosmopolitan style to this provincial home. When you're all settled in, hop in the car and head towards the coast – Combe Martin's sandy beaches are just a ten-minute drive away. If you're up for a scenic hike in the rolling countryside, Exmoor National Park is within easy reach, and there are plenty of village establishments serving typical British pub grub to reward yourself with on the way home.

Local guide


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....
