About this property
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 ancient village of North Molton is an ideal base from which to explore Exmoor and North Devons dramatic coast. The village boasts a friendly pub, Post Office and a village shop offering home-grown produce from local farms and delicious home-baked goods, while just a few miles away, the pretty town of South Molton offers a range of shops and weekly market. Being pleasantly situated not far from both coastal and inland beauty spots, this quaint village is sure to suit visitors of all tastes.

The cottage is spacious, clean, very comfortable; the owner has thought of everything, and the south-facing garden is a huge bonus on sunny days.

Really spacious, with lovely views and total peace and quiet, the large garden was a bonus The camp site down the lane was handy but certainly not intrusive- we enjoyed an excellent Sunday roast there. The cottage itself is situated in a beautiful area, a perfect base for touring Somerset, Devon and beyond and the walking is excellent - we would have walked more had we not been in the midst of Storm Ciaran, but hardly noticed it inside as we were so cosy. Many Thanks to owners - hope to return again in the future.
