Neighbouring the award-winning beaches of Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton, this cottage is the ideal spot for a coastal retreat with the family. This home gives you rural privacy, with easy access to hiking trails across Exmoor National Park and excursions to local attractions, including Combe Martin Wildlife Park and Exmoor Zoo. Inside, contemporary countryside charm awaits with exposed beam ceilings, reclaimed wood elements and sleek interior designs. When the sun is out, spend mornings in your flower-lined courtyard with coffee, determining today’s walking trail. Or, if a day home is what you’re seeking, time in this cottage is best spent firing up the charcoal barbecue for an indulgent lunch spread before retreating to the lounge seat for a refreshment. As evening comes, spend sunsets soaking in the hot tub before cosying up in the living room for a movie night. You’ll be thoroughly indulged with the location of this cottage - from trailing across Barle Valley Nature reserve (fifteen minutes by car) to steam-train venturing through the lush Exmoor countryside on the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway (thirteen minutes from your home), or rock pooling along the shores of Woolacombe beach (a twenty-minute drive) - options abound.
