About this property

This cosy detached stone barn conversion is situated adjacent to the owners' farmhouse on the outskirts of Uffculme, a Devon village in the Blackdown Hills. A perfect romantic retreat, this Uffculme cottage is all on the ground floor and has wooden floors throughout. The open-plan living area is a characterful haven to relax, divided between a cosy lounge, a dining area, and a kitchen, all overlooked by exposed A-framed beams. This same sense of country charm continues through to the double bedroom, dressed in neutral bedding, and thoughtfully accessorised. A shower room ties this all together, comprising of a classic white suite, with lovely tiled floors. Outside, this Devon cottage there is a courtyard garden from where guests are welcome to wander over to a wildlife pond. The village of Uffculme has a shop, pub, splendid walks along the River Culm and Coldharbour Mill, which is the only surviving woollen mill in Devon and has a fascinating working museum.

    The countryside is beautiful and we walked in lots of lovely places within easy distance. A big thank you!

  • Michael

    Ideal property for exploring local attractions. Clean & tidy - would recommend to others.

  • Dennis

    Also no coffee table for cups, etc, when sitting on the settee. Not a problem for us as we had brought our own fold up coffee table after reading reviews. Top marks for our host Tom. Who had left milk in the fridge, chocolate biscuits, tea, coffee and sugar for our arrival. He recommended a lovely pub called Ash Hill Inn about 2 miles away. Great food and atmosphere. He also arranged for an electrician to call the next day to replace a faulty light switch which had failed, can’t fault the service. As far as we are concerned a very nice place and area. A definite near 5 stars.
