  • Converted studio on a working sheep farm, with acres of countryside to explore
  • Enjoy walks from the doorstep or drive to the coast, then unwind in your own private hot tub
  • Only one mile away is the historic market town of South Molton with its famous pannier market, quaint shops, cafe's and restaurants
Property code: OC-96105

Approached by a private lane just a mile outside historic South Molton, this studio-style couple’s escape sits at the heart of a working sheep farm, surrounded by 70 acres of countryside which guests are welcome to wander. Shop for fresh local produce at South Molton’s twice-weekly Pannier Market or learn about the journey from flower to jar at the Quince Honey Farm – the gardens are full of wildlife and dogs are welcome. North of the town, Exmoor National Park presents a wealth of walking routes, its open moorland linking with the South West Coast Path as it wends through some spectacular scenery, including the dramatic Valley of the Rocks, 23 miles from your doorstep. For contrast, visit the sandy beaches at Woolacombe, Saunton and Braunton Burrows – the latter is home to one of the largest sand dune systems in the British Isles.

Located amid lush pastureland and with the River Mole flowing gently close by, this converted farm property presents an authentic taste of country living. Step inside and your studio-style accommodation is uncluttered and contemporary, with together-time prioritised by its clever open-plan layout. Make memories to treasure as you cook, dine and enjoy companionable time stretched out on the sofa with the pets at your feet – a Smart TV will keep you up to date with all your favourite viewing. A double bed and shower room complete the home-from-home comfort.

Doors front and rear connect you effortlessly to the surrounding landscape. At the front of the property, the raised terrace has a hot tub to enhance your holiday experience – drink in those far-reaching views or admire unspoilt starry skies as you lay back in the bubbles. Enjoy a similarly stunning panorama from the back garden, which is also enclosed and features both a terrace and a lawn. Fire up the BBQ for long, leisurely evenings outdoors. The property also benefits from off-road parking for two cars.

Cottage is perfectly placed for a relaxing break. Dog friendly garden and very friendly horses to greet you over the fence every morning. Host was always contactable and kept us informed of arrival details. Nice touch was a fresh loaf of bread, tea coffee and milk to greet us on arrival. Even towels provided for the dog. Excellent stay.

From the moment we came up the driveway and then saw the property we knew it was perfect! Very clean and tidy, lovely gesture of offering tea coffee milk and bread. The bed was made and towels ready. Bathroom immaculate and the shower was really powerful! Nice to have a smart TV with even Bluetooth speakers outside. The best part was sitting in theRead more hot tub with a bottle of bubbly and thinking of what tomorrow would bring. Hide
