This lovely property on the fringe of Exmoor is perfect for couples seeking peace and privacy in a beautiful country setting. The pretty town of Bampton is 3 miles away, with a good range of shops, pubs and restaurants. From here it is less than 3 miles to the glorious Exmoor National Park, with its wild ponies, wooded valleys and rushing rivers. Discover more by visiting the National Park Centre in the village of Dulverton (7 miles) to find advice and information on all this special landscape has to offer, from wonderful walks to pony-trekking. Exmoor is a designated International Dark Sky Reserve, so look up to see stars shining more brightly on cloudless nights. A trip to Knightshayes Court (7 miles) is a great day out. This spectacular 19th-century house, owned by the National Trust, is full of quirks and curiosities and set in acres of glorious gardens and parkland.

Guests reach the property down a private driveway and enter the open-plan living/diner/kitchen space through glazed doors. These are set into large windows, with skylights in the vaulted ceiling, combining to create a light-filled interior. A comfortable leather sofa with Smart TV, a contemporary kitchen and dining table make this a lovely room for relaxing. A spacious king-size bedroom and en-suite with a walk-in shower room and WC completes the picture of a charming rural retreat.

Outside is a private garden with a lawn and an attractive gravel patio overlooking the surrounding countryside with stylish wooden furniture. The Jacuzzi spa is in a summerhouse, where you can admire the lovely views while enjoying a luxurious soak.

Ideally located if you just want to recharge and to have peace and quite from the hustle and bustle of the city. Superb views across the valley from the cottage and the hot tub.You may get the odd interruption from birds and distant sheep and cattle, but generally its you, the view and the wind in the trees! There is also a bonus as you may see deeRead morer appear out of the near wood land. The only down side, is the drive up Cove Hill Road to the destination, as this road becomes very narrow, the width of a car and it like that for about 1.5 miles. Best way we found was to use the Bolham Road from Tiverton and then take the Old Tiverton Road towards Bampton, which takes you round the back of Knighthayes. Hide

Fabulous views. Spotlessly clean and well equipped kitchen. Great to have an air fryer. Lovely shower. Be prepared for narrow single track lanes to get in and out and little or no WiFi. Very peaceful location. Hot tub was a great bonus. Owner was really helpful and friendly.

One of the best cottages in the UK we've had the pleasure to stay. Located perfectly for some countryside peace and quiet and a short drive away from lots of great walks in the Exmoor National Park. Wonderful views to the surrounding hillside while relaxing in the hot tub, regardless of the weather as it's covered. The owner was happy to stopRead more and chat when we saw him and even gave us a little history of the farm. I would definitely recommend planning some local walks straight from the cottage, especially a beautiful circular taking in Huntsham and its lake. If you're a runner and like me you enjoy some runs while on hols then be prepared for the toughest first 400m you'll probably ever experience. The climb from the bottom of the hillside the cottage is based begins steep and then gets steeper. My lungs will testify to this :-) Hide

Excellent location and the views are amazing. Lovely to be able to look out across the hills whilst relaxing in the hot tub. Property well equipped and very comfortable, although it would be helpful to have a few more mugs and glass tumblers. Wi-Fi a little hit and miss but to be expected given the location of the property.
