The property

Sampford Courtenay 1.6 miles.

The Cottage is a beautifully-presented thatched home resting close to the attractive village of Sampford Courtenay in Devon.

Offering space for six guests across three ground‑floor bedrooms, it provides an appealing base for those seeking a scenic rural break with the added benefit of an indoor swimming pool.

A reverse‑level layout leads you upstairs to the impressive open‑plan living space, where exposed beams and a woodburning stove enhance the inviting character of the property.

Here you can prepare meals in the well‑appointed kitchen, dine together while enjoying views across the surrounding landscape, or step out through the French windows onto the broad decked terrace to appreciate long-reaching vistas towards Dartmoor.

Downstairs, each of the three bedrooms benefits from its own en-suite facility, offering convenience and privacy for couples, friends, or families sharing.

Outside, the enclosed terrace garden invites relaxed afternoons, and the indoor heated pool offers something special for guests to enjoy throughout the year.

With access along a short farm track, The Cottage is set within the owners’ expansive grounds, showcasing sweeping woodland and views over rolling countryside.

Nearby, you’ll find a welcoming inn serving meals, while the town of Okehampton offers shops, eateries, a cinema, and a leisure centre.

Dartmoor National Park provides excellent walking, cycling and open moorland exploration, and rivers in the area offer the opportunity for fishing.

Attractive places to visit include Chagford, a lively market town with independent shops; Lydford with its dramatic gorge; and the cathedral city of Exeter, home to museums, galleries, and historic architecture.

Stay at The Cottage to enjoy a scenic Devon setting with standout features and excellent access to countryside and town attractions.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

About the location

SAMPFORD COURTENAY

Okehampton 2.5 miles.

Midway between Sampford Courtenay, a sleepy but picturesque Devon village, and Okehampton, a thriving community known as ‘the gateway to the moor’. The whole area is a country lover’s dream. The high tors of northern Dartmoor dominate the scenery and provide a splendid backdrop to Okehampton nestling in a valley where tumbling moorland rivers join before heading to the sea. For miles around, the area is famous for its country pubs that between them provide welcome rest after a day exploring the paths, cycle ways and stunning countryside. On a clear day the view from the top of High Willhays (the highest point south of the Pennines) will take your breath away. Country pursuits and crafts are a way of life and a trip to the Dartmoor Visitor Centre and country museum in Okehampton are musts. Look also at the pretty moorland villages of Chagford, Belstone and Sticklepath to savour a way of life that’s becoming increasingly rare.
