“Lovely location.”

Neighbours in the courtyard very friendly. Cottage well situated for coast and inland Devon.

Neighbours in the courtyard very friendly. Cottage well situated for coast and inland Devon. Welcome pack was good. Cottage well equipped and overall delightful. I appreciate that it is a very subjective comment, but the bed was very firm ! If you like birds, the garden feeders were visited daily by a Nuthatch and a Woodpecker in addition to the more regular garden birds.

“Great location for access to north and south Devon.”

Lovely quiet position within gated community. Local pubs and restaurants very limited. Unfortunately the main double bed was too firm and very uncomfortable.

Mr Richmond August 2021

“The site is a small group of houses with easy parking, which is maintained by the local management team to an exceptionally high standard.”

Pipkin cottage was very clean, exceptionally well equipped and supplied with a comprehensive welcome pack on arrival. It is a central location on the edge of the Bridwell estate allowing easy access to coast and local attractions

“Very comfortable stay.”

Oh so quiet. Great COVID precautions. Excellent communications at every stage. Really good welcome pack. Central location for all parts of Devon and Somerset - just follow the good weather! First class!

“We really enjoyed our stay at Pipkin Cottage it more than exceeded our expectations and we would definitely recommend this cottage.”

The welcome pack was superb and the cottage is a home from home and we will certainly be looking to come back soon. The location of the cottage makes it easily accessible for exploring the Devon countryside as well as the coast and we wished we could have stayed longer.

“We have thoroughly enjoyed a weeks stay at Pipkin Cottage.”

It is situated in a courtyard with several other cottages in Old Bridwell and has parking directly outside of the cottage. The property was warm and clean and we had a lovely welcome pack on arrival. It was also really pleasing to find as well as all the plates, pots and pans etc, all the little essentials within the cottage to last all week, such as dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid and all the equipment to do laundry and keep the cottage clean during your stay. There were plenty of logs to use the woodburner numerous times and it felt like the owners hadn't skimped on anything and had clearly gone the extra mile to make their guests feel welcome. The garden was private and enclosed and with plenty of seating to sit outside and watch the birds come to the birdfeeder and even see a cheeky squirrel. As the cottage is in mid-Devon, it was ideally placed for travelling all over Devon, including the coastal areas. It really is a little gem and we will be returning to stay again.

“A very well equipped and maintained cottage in an excellent location.”

We stayed for over 4 weeks between lockdowns over Christmas and wished we could’ve stayed longer. Conveniently close to the M5 enabling easy travelling to explore the area but located in a quiet and beautiful little enclosed community. We were very impressed by the care and effort made to make us feel safe and comfortable. Everything that we needed had been catered for to make it home from home. Thank you to all involved in achieving that. We look forward to re-visiting the property.

The property

Set within a pretty courtyard of cottages arranged around a thatched pump house, once part of an estate farm serving Bridwell Park, is the charming Pipkin Cottage, offering five guests a lovely base from which to enjoy the Devonshire countryside.

Being just under a mile from the village of Uffculme, Pipkin Cottage has all you need for a self-catered stay full of country walks and the beautiful scenery of Devon.

Make your way in through the porch after an afternoon ramble and settle down in the homely sitting room, in the winter months lighting up the woodburning stove before cosying up on the sofa and armchairs to watch a favourite show on the Smart TV.

Gather for family meals in the country-style kitchen/diner, with traditional table and chairs for enjoying pre-dinner drinks as the chef of the group makes use of all the appliances at your fingertips, with a washing machine and a dishwasher for further holiday ease!

Spend time outside watching the local wildlife and birds dropping in to the enclosed courtyard, with seating out here to perch on with your morning coffee.

Discover a cloakroom on the ground floor too, whilst up on the first floor lies the family bathroom, with a walk-in shower and a separate bath too, perfect for a relaxing moment to yourself with a hot soak in the tub.

Head to sleep in one of the three delightful bedrooms with a double, a twin and a single to choose from, all with plenty of storage and well-chosen interiors.

The village of Uffculme has all you need for a self-catered stay, from a handy takeaway, local shop and a pub, with the surrounding area being perfect for walking and cycling too.

Not far from the village is the popular attraction of Diggerland Devon, where full-size construction machinery has been transformed to provide unique fun for all ages.

Head into the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to experience beautiful scenery and fantastic walking and cycling routes, as well as riding routes and bridleways, coming across ancient hill forts, woodland settings and lakes rich with wildlife as well as charming little villages.

The National Trust properties of Knightshayes Court and Killerton House are lovely ideas for a day out exploring the large landscaped grounds of each and learning of the history that lies within.

Discover a world of amenities and attractions in the city of Exeter, with its cathedral and castle to marvel at, as well as Underground Passages, St Catherine's Almshouses, and The Medieval Exe Bridge to stop at for a photo, there's plenty to do here before enjoying some delicious food at one of the many restaurants.

For a rural retreat with your family friends, enjoy a stay in Devon at Pipkin Cottage.
