Cottage to rent with a log fire / woodburner in Tiverton

Accommodation details

Your whole family can feel at home in this delightful cottage, adjoining the owner’s, set on a working farm specialising in restorative farming, where guests of all ages and three dogs can escape to the peace of rural Devon. Pack your walking shoes to discover the picturesque countryside on foot and breathe in the fresh air.

Start your day with an al fresco breakfast on the enclosed lawn, then take a stroll along the riverbank only 100 yards from the garden. Further afield, the moors and woodland of Exmoor National Park are a 10.5-mile drive away. Full of rustic charm, inside the cottage you’ll find exposed beams, a stunning feature wall housing the wood burner and log basket and sloping or vaulted ceilings in many of the rooms.

Light and bright throughout, the cottage has been decorated to create a calming environment. The wooden furniture and warm neutral colour scheme reflects the natural landscape outside, and is the perfect space to relax in. Cook family meals in the homely kitchen, then spend evenings together round the table and sat on the sofa in the elegant lounge/diner, with the fire lit and the Smart TV on. For supplies and essentials, as well as a browse of the historic market for fresh local produce, visit Tiverton (4 miles).

The pretty town is a time capsule for the area’s history, with the Museum of Mid Devon Life, a castle, and one of the UK’s last horse-drawn barges. Lovers of the outdoors should explore the gardens and parkland at Knightshayes Court (3.5 miles), and the Grand Western Canal Country Park (6 miles).

For younger guests, the Devon Railway Centre (8 miles) and Diggerland Devon (13.5 miles) offer plenty of excitement.
