5 Bed Cottage in Kentisbury

About this property

Set on the fringe of Exmoor National Park surrounded by woodland, this farmhouse offers a peaceful, rural retreat. Sleeping ten guests in five spacious bedrooms, it’s ideal for extended families and groups of friends who love to be immersed in nature. While away days roaming open moorland, ambling around the nearby reservoir and enjoying the picturesque Devon coast. Then return here to dine on the outdoor patio or snuggle up by the wood burner in the cosy lounge.

Arranged over two storeys, this woodland retreat has been beautifully styled with a relaxed rural elegance. Two inviting lounges offer space to gather together or enjoy a little downtime, one with a Smart TV and the other with a warming wood burner. A sleek, contemporary kitchen/diner has everything you need to entertain a crowd including twin ovens and a large, farmhouse-style dining table. When it’s time to rest your head, five beautifully appointed bedrooms await on the first floor. Choose between three king-size rooms and two twins, one with an additional daybed. Two shower rooms and a bathroom are divided between the ground and first floors, while a first-floor snug/games room offers extra space to unwind away from the group. Outside, an enclosed patio with outdoor dining allows you to make the most of warm weather and there’s private parking for five cars.

Explore numerous trails on your doorstep, including a lovely walk around nearby Wistpoundland Reservoir (under 0.5 miles). Discover moors, valleys and streams in Exmoor National Park, while watching for red deer and Exmoor ponies. Or venture to the coast to walk sections of the South West Coast Path, which passes within 5 miles of the property. Nearby attractions include the twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth (9 miles) and the surfing hotspot of Woolacombe Beach (15 miles).
