Description

North Molton 2.5 mile.

This detached cottage is in a truly rural position, two and a half miles from the ancient village of North Molton, which nudges the foothills of Exmoor.

This lovely cottage will appeal to walkers, birdwatchers and botanists alike, being situated along a partially unmetalled country lane and footpath lined with wild flowers and providing ample woodland walks nearby along the River Mole.

The cottage also overlooks peaceful meadows.

Inside, the cottage has a large kitchen/diner with patio doors opening to the enclosed rear garden, which is ideal for taking supper outside in the summer.

The cosy sitting room even has a piano, a superb room for relaxing in after a busy day.

The three bedrooms sleep up to four guests, share a bathroom and all overlook the fields and woodlands beyond.

The local Riverside Caravan & Camping Park, which is just over half a mile away, along a footpath, has facilities including a clubhouse, shop open to non-residents and specimen carp and coarse fishing lakes.

Alternatively, you can take the footpath through a beautiful wooded valley and stroll into the old mining village of North Molton, where there is a friendly pub and shop.

This location is ideal for exploring the heather-clad Exmoor hills with their native stags.

Couples will love the fabulous long sandy beaches at Saunton and Woolacombe, ideal for safe bathing, surfing or walking amongst the soft sand dunes that back the beaches.

This is an ideal rural retreat for both country lovers and beachcombers.

The property was great for us, as a dog owner to have a fully enclosed large open garden was a real bonus.

The cottage is extremely quiet in a really good setting, lots of different birds and I’m sure other wildlife in a fairly isolated setting. The property has a well equipped kitchen and is very spacious with all the facilities you would expect. If I have any negative comments it would be the bed mattress was a little uncomfortable for me, and no Wi-Fi. However we just used our laptop our own mobile network and just connected to the tv with an HDMI cable, old fashioned smart tv. The small narrow lane leading to the property is as described, and slow and steady driving is necessary but we had no problems. It is a little tight coming out of the cottage driveway but if you’re careful shouldn’t be an issue. All in all a really good holiday exactly as we wanted.

A peaceful, dog friendly cottage with lovely views.

Very good value, with comfortable beds, a lovely updated bathroom, and a downstairs toilet. Plenty of food storage in the kitchen. Remote location up a country lane and we had no trouble using the lane with our low profile Audi (just avoid the few potholes at the beginning). The lack of WiFi was not a problem for us, as we had no issues using EE 5G data. The garden was extremely safe for our dog with its 'no escape' fencing, and the field behind was empty, so we had no worry about him barking at the horses. We arranged a Sainsbury's delivery the evening we arrived and topped up in the week at the large Sainsbury's in nearby South Molton. Very good location for our coastal and Exmoor walks. We would happily return.

Not suitable for me, stairs too steep and angled, steps into back garden have no handrail, very limited supply of basics compared to other properties we have rented.

The track access is to be wary of. Why waterproof covers on beds, we are not incontinent, will not be returning.
