Property code: WARRE

This lovingly converted hayloft has been transformed into a cosy cottage, which sets guests in a beautiful part of Devon. Less than a mile from the property is Cockwood Village, where several charming pubs sit right on the harbour and serve local seafood. Keen birdwatchers should head to Dawlish Warren where many rare species can be seen darting through sand dunes, in the estuary and out to sea. A great way to experience the local area is by heading along the Exe Estuary Footpath to Dawlish Warren, Starcross, Exeter and all around the Exe Estuary to Exmouth via Topsham. If you'd like to explore further afield, leave the car and travel by train; the station is only a mile from the property.  Other highlights include Teignmouth, Newton Abbot, Dartmoor, nearby Powderham Castle, Starcross ferry, or local boat trips and estuary cruises.

You will access the first floor open-plan accommodation via external steps and enter into the lounge/kitchen/diner/sleeping area. This has been arranged in a self-contained studio style, benefitting from distant estuary views. The large L shaped room has retained much of its original charm with features such as original beams and exposed stonework. The lounge area offers reclining sofa and armchair, 43" TV/DVD while the kitchen area is well-equipped to make your stay as comfortable as possible. There is an electric oven, hob, fridge with ice-compartment, microwave/combi grill, Nescafe Dolce Gusto coffee machine and a dining table and chairs. A comfortable double bed also features for when you’re ready to relax after a long day of exploring, with an electric heater to warm the room. Just off from this area, there is a separate shower room with WC.

Outside you will have access to a raised decked area with garden furniture and use of the extensive grounds with stunning views over the surrounding countryside and the Exe estuary.

Excellent accommodation. Really well set up. The views from the deck just perfect. Beautiful position. Really had a great stay. The accommodation was so lovely. The owners were thoughtful of what was there and the bird feeders right outside were fun to watch. Thank you Mr and Mrs Weeks. Watching the cows and their calves added to it all.

Very comfortable property, great location, ideal to leave the car and explore the area by train, pleasant walk to station and great views from the train. The property is well equipped, although the shower cubicle could be rather snug for tall or broad shouldered people. Nice walk to nearest pub

Lovely cottage with countryside views. Compact but offering everything you would require and comfortable. Well equipped with a good supply of crockery and glassware plus pots and pans should you wish to cook. We were also delighted with the DVD and book libraries and the literature detailing walks in the area. Small decked terrace was a real bonus Read moreeven if the weather didn't lend itself to sitting out much. A small plumbing issue arose but was sorted out by the owners very swiftly. Thank you Hide

On arrival we were made very welcom with scones, jam and clotted cream. We had to keep our dog on a lead as the farm was not secure and they had cows there, to be aware of. Please note this is not a criticism!! Mainly if visitors have young dogs it is something to be aware of.
