Cottage to rent in Ashwater, Devon

Accommodation details

Situated on a working farm in rural Northwest Devon, this beautifully converted barn will enable you to switch off, relax and immerse yourself in the tranquillity of the surrounding countryside. With woodland walks, a picturesque millpond, a summerhouse and unbridled views, this property provides the ideal retreat in the heart of what is known as Ruby Country.

Conveniently located close to the Devon/Cornwall border, you can explore the best of both counties, including the stunning coastline and South West Coast Path only 14 miles north. Sympathetically renovated and tastefully decorated, everyone will feel at home in this one-storey property. The high-vaulted ceilings and exposed beams create light and space throughout, whilst the warm tones and wooden floors create a sense of warmth and comfort.

The open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area has a well-equipped kitchen, plenty of seating at the table and comfortable chairs to retire to after a busy day exploring. The master bedroom is spacious and the twin bedroom can be made up to a king-size if necessary. Stepping outside, you can enjoy the enclosed patio area with garden furniture, BBQ and gorgeous views.

Guests are also welcome to explore the large lawn, woodland and millpond too. The coastline near here is understandably an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with its dramatic cliffs, crashing waves and sandy beaches. In the seaside town of Bude (14 miles northwest), you’ll find beaches, a canal and a tidal pool.

Or from Morwenstow (21 miles) enjoy a circular walk to the smallest, quirkiest National Trust property, Hawker’s Hut. Dartmoor National Park is also easily accessible, with Lydford Gorge 20 miles away. For the kids, why not try family-run, award-winning theme park The Milky Way (20 miles).
