Immerse yourselves in the magnificent scenery of the Blackdown Hills when you stay at this delightful stone retreat in East Devon. Sleeping just two guests, the unique barn conversion is perfect as a romantic getaway for a couple or friends. Powered by a solar and sustainable wood-heating system, it is perfect for anyone seeking a cottage with green credentials. Situated near Upottery, it is 8 miles from Honiton and 7 miles from picture-postcard Broadhembury.

Step inside to discover airy accommodation with a bright, modern feel. The gorgeous, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner has a double-height ceiling and an exquisite, honey-coloured wooden floor. Open the French doors to the balcony on summer days or sink back onto the sofa on winter evenings in front of the Smart TV. The compact kitchen area includes everything you need to help you whip up homemade snacks and meals with the delicious Devon produce you have sourced. There is a table where you can serve up meals for two on those occasions you choose to dine in. Your shower room is also at ground-floor level, while the bedroom is up on a mezzanine level, overlooking the main living space. This features a king-size bed that can also be made up as a twin if discussed at booking. Laundry facilities are in an external utility room. Sit out on your private balcony on fine summer days. Gaze out over the woodland and listen to the birds with a glass of something chilled as the sun goes down.

Head into charming Honiton to browse in the antique shops, galleries, and independent stores. Plan a trip down to the magnificent Jurassic Coast. Here, you can pick up the South West Coast Path and wander for miles. Have a day on the beach at Sidmouth or Branscombe, both 18 miles away.
