Property code: OC-F32531

Situated at the top of a farm lane, enclosed with your own parking and garden, this cottage provides the perfect base to explore all that North Devon has to offer. Renowned beaches such as Saunton (16 miles) and Croyde (20 miles) are within easy reach as well as Exmoor (15 miles), and close by you’ll find the town of Barnstaple (9 miles) and South Molton (7 miles) with their popular pannier markets. A short train ride from the nearby station takes you to the Tarka Trail, favoured by walkers and cyclists alike. Slightly further afield, days out include the beautiful cathedral city of Exeter (33 miles) and pretty Torbay (60 miles). You can also walk out directly from the farm across the fields and follow the footpath by the river Taw to the Rising Sun at Umberleigh (1 mile) or stroll along the quiet lanes to The Bell Inn at Chittlehampton (1.5 miles), where you can enjoy good food at both pubs.

Stepping inside this beautiful holiday let you will find yourself in the bright and airy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with lovely underfloor heating. The breakfast bar and stools offer casual dining or are an ideal spot for planning your next day’s activities. The kitchen is well fitted and equipped with everything you need. The lounge area has a comfy sofa and a Smart TV. Either side of the staircase, you will find the shower room with a spacious shower enclosure, and a separate WC. Upstairs leads you to the bright, light, open-plan and extremely spacious bedroom with a king-size bed and a high apex ceiling. Floor-to-ceiling French doors open out onto a balcony with seating and amazing countryside views, great for morning coffee or evening sundowner. This room also has two comfortable chairs and a smart TV for your convenience. A wrought iron spiral staircase leads from the first-floor balcony down to the enclosed garden, ideal for when preparing to dip into the hot tub.

Directly outside the property, enjoy relaxing on the enclosed private patio area and lawn where there is garden furniture to sit and relax on, as well as the fantastic private hot tub. A paddock for exercising dogs is also available for your dog to enjoy, and there is a dog bin, outside tap and hose for your four-legged friends.

This has been one of my favourite cottage stays. Fullers Retreat is located with gorgeous views over rolling hills with great and easy access for walking off the doorstep. Braunton is nearby with an excellent beach for walkers and families alike and we enjoyed a trip to the recommended Pyne Arms a 30 minute drive away noting there are pubs in walkiRead moreng distance. The Retreat is just that, an opportunity to retreat and relax; soak up the views, relax in the hot tub and enjoy the sound of the countryside. Our only regret was we didnt book for longer than a weekend. Highly recommend! Hide

Fantastic view over beautiful fields. The cottage was super clean and very well equipped. The owners have clearly taken a big effort to make it perfect. The hot tub was so good to use after a days walking. Everything had been thought of.

We had an absolutely amazing weekend here, the property is flawless with the highest quality finish and everything you could think of provided. The location is perfect, even though its situated on a working farm its quiet and peaceful and the surrounding roads are rarely used. We stayed for a long weekend but could have easily stayed for a month. IRead more could not recommend this property any more 100% as good as it looks in the pictures! Hide

Lovely, excellently presented accommodation. Comfortable bed in a good size bedroom offering fantastic views. Plenty of space for clothes. Only negative was that the toilet is downstairs. Enclosed garden area with table and chairs to make the most of the peace and quiet. Huge hot tub (ready on the second day due to water being changed for each Read morebooking) was a wonderful addition, especially at night with the dark skies allowing amazing views of the stars. The property is isolated and a car is needed to get around. However, seeing the surrounding countryside is a reason to visit. Hide

Fantastic holiday home in a great quiet country location. Great walks from the home and 30-40 mins from Saunton sands and Woolacombe. The home is fabulous with great views and all the facilities required for a great getaway. Hot tub is a wonderful addition. Will definitely be back to enjoy this amazing location again.
