Enjoying glorious views and original features peppered throughout, along with access to some of Devon's best sights, including the cathedral city of Exeter, The Thatched Cottage is a fabulous base for a family of eight's getaway. As you arrive at the property, you will be welcomed by plenty of off-road parking spaces, where you can safely leave your vehicles before wandering inside to be welcomed by this delightsome abode.

Tuck into these meals at the enticing dining room, a space with exposed beams adorning the ceiling and plenty of character dining furniture. After dinner, kick back and relax in the sitting room, where leather sofas offer you a seat in front of the TV. End the day by freshening up any old clothing in the utility room, before moving across the ground floor to find one of the four fabulous bedrooms inhabiting the cottage; this one comprising a double with a basin and access to an en-suite shower room with shower and WC. Ascend one of the two flights of stairs to find the remaining three bedrooms, with one of these offering a studio-style layout with a double bed, day bed and sitting area with basin as well as a shower cubicle and separate WC just outside the room; ideal for those seeking a little more privacy during their stay. The latter staircase on the first-floor, leads to the remaining bedrooms consisting of a king-size, which is zip/linked for extra flexibility and a double with a basin; all the rooms boasting views of the far-reaching fields beyond. Concluding the property's first floor is a fantastic family bathroom, where metro tiling embellishes the walls and relaxing soaks can be savoured in the bath with shower over.

Choose The Thatched Cottage for a Devon adventure you'll never forget.

Crediton is a lively market town a short drive north-west of Exeter's cathedral city, in a region of Devon known as "Red Devon," so named because of the characteristic red soil that is of great agricultural quality and ideal for growing swedes. This is a rural part in Devon that is peaceful and unspoiled, with ruby cattle grazing among the rolling green meadows. There are several dispersed towns with warm inns, well-stocked farm stores, and inviting residents.

    The cottage’s heating had been turned on ready for our arrival and the hot tub heated up. The welcome pack was much appreciated. The views are spectacular and we arrived to the most stunning red sky. The kitchen is very equipped and it’s so good to be in a cottage where they really have catered for the number of people staying. I would definitely recommend this cottage. Perfect for a large family get together or for friends.

    The property had ample room for us all meaning we felt connected but not on top of one another, including when cooking and dining. We loved the view and location - easily accessible by car, close to local amenities but once you're in the property you feel utterly secluded and tranquil. A perfect spot for a break away. The only feedback we had was about the hot water going off midway through the second day meaning that some guests had to have cold showers, however we soon learned that there is an electric shower to make up for this and the hot water came back later on with no fuss. The owners put wonderful finishing touches of a festive greetings card, some Prosecco for NYE, local apple juice and some biscuits which of course was not at all expected but so appreciated. Thank you! Would definitely stay again.

    Me & my family stayed here over Christmas and were blown away with how gorgeous & quirky it was and the views were unbelievable, we had a fantastic time. The owners kindly gifted us with a Christmas hamper and it was such a lovely to surprise to see the house had been decorated for Christmas! The beds were so comfy and smelt fresh. Every single room in the cottage was immaculate, there was a toilet/bathroom next to each bedroom which was great. The living room is cosy and the kitchen was well equipped. The hot tub was ready to use straight away and the views from it were amazing! Honestly one of the best places we’ve ever stayed and will definitely be returning in the summer! Thank you again for the most wonderful stay it made our Christmas Day so much more special.
