Twitchers Itch

About this property

Nestled in the heart of rural Devon, this captivating cottage offers a serene retreat amid the glorious Devonshire countryside. One of three holiday homes on the owner’s working farm, this dog-friendly property is perfectly poised between the Cornish coast and Dartmoor National Park. With ample accommodation for six guests, this three-bedroom cottage benefits from an enclosed patio garden with a private outdoor hot tub, along with access to a shared games barn and a paddock for exercising the dogs.

Arranged over two storeys, this traditional cottage combines original period features with a sleek, contemporary design. Enjoy sociable evenings in the spacious lounge, sharing laughter and wine as you gather over a board game or enjoy a tranquil moment by the wood burner. The country-style kitchen is bright and fresh with ample space for preparing meals, before settling around the dining table to share good food and wine. At night, three cosy and welcoming bedrooms, a king-size and two twins, tempt you upstairs with the promise of restful slumber. A first-floor family bathroom and ground-floor shower room offer comfort and convenience for all. Outside, enjoy lazy afternoons BBQing and feasting, and magical evenings bubbling in the hot tub, watching the stars in the night’s sky.

Awake to the sound of birdsong and don your walking boots to explore a range of walks and trails on your doorstep, with the impressive Cockworthy Forest also just 4 miles away. The thriving market town of Okehampton (13 miles) is a haven for foodies with a weekly market and a range of independent shops and eateries. It also acts as a gateway to Dartmoor National Park. Head in the opposite direction to the popular resort of Bude (18 miles) for award-winning beaches and spectacular surf.
