Glebe Farm Cottage

About this property

Sheepwash 2.6 miles. Nestled in the serene countryside surrounding the Devonshire village of Sheepwash rests this charming, two-bedroom holiday home, Glebe Farm Cottage. With off-road parking, well-laid out, traditional interiors, and superb proximity to the nearby Dartmoor National Park, this tasteful property welcomes a family of four and their furry companions for a self-catered, rural escape to the heart of Devon. Park up, unpack, and make yourself at home in your new lodgings by setting up in the well-equipped kitchen, where you will find everything you need to prepare a delicious, home-cooked feast for the whole group to savour at the dining table or alfresco in the enclosed rear garden during the warmer months. In the evenings, gather in the sitting room with your loved ones to enjoy a film on the Smart TV before indulging in a rejuvenating bath on your way to retiring for a well-earned sleep in one of two, plush bedrooms. After you've taken the dogs out for a run in the adjacent rear paddock, take time to venture out and explore your local area by stopping into the nearby village of Sheepwash, where you can stock up on supplies at the Sheepwash Community Shop & Post Office before settling down for a pub lunch at The Half Moon Inn. Be sure to spend time traversing the many scenic walkways of the Halsdon Nature Reserve on your way to Great Torrington, which is a brief car journey away, and home to the Great Torrington Museum, whilst the tranquil spot of RHS Garden Rosemoor lies just a short distance outside of town. Your trip to Devon would be incomplete without spending time in the Dartmoor National Park, which is home to a plethora of amazing landmarks, such as the Sittaford Stone Circle, the Becky Falls Ancient Woodland Park, Wistman's Wood nature reserve, and the National Trust spot of Hembury and Holne Woods - all are worth your time whilst visiting the region. Whatever you choose to do during your next stay in Devon, be sure to do it from the charming base of Glebe Farm Cottage.

The Devon settlement of Sheepwash is located in the serene Torridge Valley. A shop and a welcoming traditional tavern offering delicious meals and locally made ales are available in the village. With its prime location in Ruby Trail Country and convenient access to the Tarka Trail and the seashore, Sheepwash is perfect for those who enjoy walking and the great outdoors. Take a stroll along the River Torridge, where you might see a family of otters and a few kingfishers. The coastal villages of Bude, Clovelly, Bideford, and Westward Ho!, where you can enjoy typical beach activities, surfing, and the South West coastal walk, are just a few of the interesting locations nearby. A good variety of tourist attractions, perfect for families or couples, like the Big Sheep at Bideford, Trethorne Leisure Farm at Launceston, the Miniature Pony Centre at Moretonhampstead, the Eden Project, and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are all within driving distance. Dartmoor is also within 20 minutes' drive, as are the RHS Rosemoor at Great Torrington and several National Trust properties.
