Description

Set back within a sleepy cluster of cottages in the picturesque village of Uffculme, Pumphouse Cottage is a fabulous dwelling at the heart of the Devon countryside, offering a wonderful home-away-from-home for a family or group of five.

Exuding character and charm through many rustic features such as exposed brick walls and rustic wood beams, this pleasant abode adds a touch of luxury to any self-catering stay.

Be welcomed into an attractive sitting room hosting two plush leather sofas, a welcoming electric woodburner-style stove and an impressive Smart TV with Blu-ray and DVD player, perfect for those relaxing evenings spent snuggled up indoors.

A few steps away lies a chic navy kitchen featuring a striking Belfast sink and sleek appliances such as a double electric oven with gas hob, a spacious fridge/freezer and a dishwasher, which, along with the stylish dining area providing the ultimate space to cook and enjoy delicious meals throughout your stay.

The back door can be found leading out into a gorgeous courtyard with a large rustic style dining set, able to seat up to ten people, and steps up to an additional seating area, where you can bask in the sunshine on a warm summer's day and indulge in a lovingly prepared lunch alfresco.

A lovely herb garden is present as well and the wonderful addition of a warm-water dog shower will let you pamper your pet after the walks in the countryside.

Back inside, a well-designed cloakroom (with washing machine) completes the ground floor, whilst up on the first floor, a contemporary tiled bathroom with muted grey hues provides ample opportunity to relax and unwind with a soak in the large tub or take your time to get ready for the day with a refreshing rinse with the overhead shower.

The first floor also boasts three restful bedrooms made up of a king sized double bed, a twin and a single, each complete with plenty of storage space and an inviting armchair, where you can escape the excitement for an hour or two as you delight in your favourite book.

The twin bedroom also benefits from zip/link, giving the option of a superking-size instead!

See the very best that the area has to offer with tours of the local museum of Coldharbour Mill, or an afternoon spent exploring the Gothic Victorian dwelling of Knightshayes Court, now owned by the National Trust.

Set about on a scenic journey through the countryside on the traditional steam trains of the Devon Railway Centre, or see the sights by foot with an exhilarating hike through Buzzard's Woodlands.

Meet the exotic residents of Yarak Birds of Prey on an animal encounter like never before, or venture into the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and spot Culmstock Beacon and the pretty chapel that rests just below.

Escape to the ancient city of Exeter and admire the incredible architecture of the medieval cathedral, before wandering alongside the River Exe to the captivating Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery.

Grab a bite to eat in one of the many cafés and restaurants that line the city and be sure to check out some of your favourite high-street stores with an afternoon spent shopping.

There's so much to be enjoyed in the area, with Pumphouse Cottage making an excellent base from which to see it all!

We had a fabulous week at Pumphouse Cottage which is really comfortable and has everything we needed.

There was a cream tea on arrival which was delicious. It is a few minutes drive from the M5 which is brilliant and there are some lovely places to visit nearby. We would definitely recommend it. Kate & Mike

We all absolutely loved staying in this cottage, in fact, we could quite easily have moved in!

Everything we could possibly need was there, and it was so comfortable and welcoming!
