This charming stone property makes for the perfect base for two couples or a family wanting to get away from it all and has been furnished and equipped to a high standard throughout. Walkers will be spoilt for choice with footpaths leading to picturesque coves, lush green valleys and open moorland. Heddon's Mouth, where the valley of the River Heddon meets the Bristol Channel, is less than half a mile away and the shingle cove of Combe Martin, famous for its smuggler’s tales and historic silver mines, is 5 miles away. There are opportunities for riding and fishing in the area and those wanting a sandy surfing beach can head to Woolacombe, 16 miles away.

The cottage is one of three similar properties in a row and has been furnished in a contemporary style whilst retaining original features such as exposed stonework, wood beams and low ceilings (6’6”). The ground floor houses the lounge and a kitchen/diner with an attractive tiled floor, and a utility room with a washer/dryer that’s shared with the other two properties. A steep open-tread staircase leads to two bedrooms with lovely country views; one has a double bed and the other has twin beds and an en-suite bathroom with a shower over the bath. An additional family bathroom also features a shower over the bath.

The property has a decked patio area to the front and you can also enjoy a shared grassed area with picnic tables.

A real find: excellent, well-equipped, dog-friendly cottage in a super location. The cream tea and treats for the dogs awaiting our arrival were an unexpected bonus. A good heating system with a simple, responsive control - why cant all holiday cottages be like this! Excellent meals to be had at the Hunters Inn nearby.

I cannot recommend "The Cottage" too highly. The fixtures and equipment are 1st class; The beds are fabulously comfortable; The birds sing special songs.... and the quiet and repose of the whole valley is completely addictive.

Fantastic accommodation with comfortable beds and all utilities and utensils which could be needed. Loved the quiet location, providing easy access to numerous footpaths from the doorstep, and tourist attractions within a short drive.

The Cottage at the Old Farmhouse is situated in a wonderful position a short walk from a spectacular section of the coast path, and just above the beautiful Heddon Valley. And yet it is extremely peaceful and unspoilt. The cottage itself is very well equipped and comfortable, and particularly well set up for dog owners. The owners were very friendlRead morey and welcoming, and gave us some very good recommendations. All in all, an excellent place for a stay in a beautiful and unspoilt part of the country. Hide
