Tucked away in a peaceful corner of North Devon, just a mile from the wild beauty of Exmoor. What was once a Calving shed, this charming two-bedroom cottage has been lovingly transformed into a cosy countryside retreat. Bursting with character, it retains many of its original features, including beautiful, exposed beams and rustic touches throughout.

The heart of the home is a stylish walnut kitchen worktop, blending modern comfort with traditional charm. Sleeping up to four guests, the cottage offers a restful escape with a luxurious freestanding bath and a sleek walk-in shower. The enclosed courtyard provides privacy and space to relax after a day of exploring this wonderful location. Guests can also enjoy the communal pond area and, in the summer months, a games room that’s great for families or groups wanting to unwind together.

Outside, you’re just a few strides from Wistlandpound Reservoir, a tranquil stretch of water that’s perfect for gentle walks, wildlife spotting, or simply sitting with a coffee as the mist lifts in the morning. But it’s the setting that truly makes this place unforgettable.

Nestled within a designated Dark Sky area, the nights here are something magical, pitch-black skies studded with stars, ideal for stargazers and romantics alike. A short drive takes you to the coast, where Combe Martin offers sea views and quirky charm, while the golden beaches of Saunton Sands and Croyde are perfect for surfing, swimming, or simply soaking up the sun. Hikers and nature lovers will find Exmoor’s rugged moorlands and deep wooded valleys just minutes away, home to wild ponies, red deer, and ancient trails. Whether you’re seeking peaceful solitude or adventure-filled days, this spot is your perfect base, close to it all but quietly tucked away from the rush of the world. It’s a place to breathe deeply, slow down, and reconnect with the things that matter whilst enjoying the comforts of this beautiful cottage.
