In recent years, the West Country has enjoyed the resurgence of visitors wanting that little bit more from their property; a rural retreat that not only offers a cost-effective way to holiday, but peace and quiet in abundance. Quite recently our future King was even spotted revelling in the tranquillity that our spectacular shorelines have to offer; well, if it’s good enough for Prince William…
A wonderful property that offers the most peaceful of settings is Little Fursdon (LFURS), a sweet semi-detached, upside-down annexe located on the edge of the uplands of Bodmin Moor. Surrounded by the most beautiful lush countryside, its picturesque location is perfect for those wanting a quiet break. A little nest for two, the accommodation is beautifully decorated in a contemporary style, whilst the private decked area is the perfect spot for enjoying a romantic meal in the prettiest of surroundings. For those looking for awe-inspiring scenery, a walk on the atmospheric moors is a must.
For a property brimming with country charm, St Michaels Coach House (STMIH) has it all. Nestled in the heart of the Devon countryside, you’re within easy reach of both Exmoor and Dartmoor; the perfect location for a tranquil retreat. A former coach house, this characterful detached property has been lovingly restored, retaining much of its original charm. Located at the end of a private driveway, this delightful cottage sleeps four and is situated in the pretty village of Poughill. For the most relaxing of holidays, some relaxing local activities include golf, fishing, horse riding and of course walking, as the cottage offers convenient access to many lovely walks.
