    “We enjoyed our stay at the cottage - 2 adults and a small dog.”

    It was tastefully furnished, clean and comfortable and well equipped. The shower was wonderful! There was a very helpful information folder with suggestions for the area. The cottage was straightforward to find using Google maps, at the end of a quiet farm road about 3/4 mile off a country lane. Guests are able to explore the farm on foot. The area is very rural and we enjoyed various village pubs about 15-30 mins drive away, Exeter 40 mins, Clovelly 1.5 hrs. We enjoyed finding villages and ...

The cottage is quiet at night with clear starry skies.

The property

Crediton 7 miles.

A lovely, secluded barn conversion less than a mile from the village of Black Dog, within reach of Crediton in Devon.

Walking enthusiasts looking for a relaxing outdoor retreat should look no further than this rural barn set in the middle of a 240 acre organic cattle and sheep farm through which you are welcome to wander.

The front doors take you straight into the open plan living area set with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfortable sitting area with underfloor heating.

Upstairs there is a shower room with a large walk-in shower, and the two bedrooms are well-presented with lovely bed linen and plenty of storage, with views of the owners' farm and the countryside beyond.

Salter’s has a patio area to the front of the property, perfect for sitting with a cold refreshing drink and behind the cottage is an enclosed gravel and grass garden.

The rural village of Black Dog is surrounded by delightful wooded farming country with lots of footpaths including the Two Moors Way.

The area has many beautiful places and attractions to visit; it’s halfway between Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks, with the towns of Crediton and Tiverton boasting shops, pubs and restaurants as well as pretty scenery and historic buildings.

Salter’s is a beautiful cottage in a fantastic rural location.

About the location

CREDITON

Exeter 8.5 miles.

A busy market town 8.5 miles north west of the cathedral city of Exeter, and situated in an area of Devon known as “Red Devon” so called because of the distinctive red soil which is of prime agricultural quality, and excellent for growing swedes. This is a rural area of Devon which is tranquil, unspoilt and where ruby cattle are seen grazing amongst the rolling green meadows. There are many scattered villages with welcoming inns, well stocked farm shops and friendly locals. Crediton has a wide range of shops selling gifts and groceries, a fabulous farmers’ market, modern leisure centre and plenty of family friendly pubs. Crediton is less than 10 miles from Dartmoor National Park which provides excellent walking and horse riding opportunities and a half hour drive from the beautiful city of Exeter where there are theatres, stunning cathedral, shopping malls, and historic quay with waterfront cafes, antique shops and bars.
