Set amongst a complex of three lovely cottages, this home from home provides guests with a perfect blend of countryside living, whilst still blessing you with easy access to the beautiful coastlines of Devon and Cornwall. For avid walkers there is the South West coast path which offers miles of walking routes with breathtaking views. For a slightly different adventure, The Dartmoor national park can be accessed within 20 miles, here you will find a mixture of incredible wildlife whilst you explore. For golden sands and turquoise waters it’s certainly worth a visit to Bude (14 miles) which is famed for its incredible surf, as well as a great selection of local shops and fine eateries. Other attractions include The Big Sheep and The Milky Way adventure parks. Water sports enthusiasts will also love the North Devon Wake Park, where you can experience paddle boarding and wakeboarding. All of this within just 16 miles.

Step through the front door and find yourself in the light and bright open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where you will soon notice the welcoming design combined with original features that make this a truly relaxing place to stay. There is a comfortable sofa and 2 additional armchairs from which to enjoy your favourite films on the Smart TV, along with a well-chosen décor that makes it feel like a home from home. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need for a stress-free stay, whilst there is plenty of seating on the dining table for all guests. Completing the ground floor is the family shower room, fitted with a large shower and WC. Heading up the staircase to the first floor is where you will find the three bedrooms. The master bedroom has a double bed, whilst the second has twin single beds, and finally the third, single bedroom.

Make your way outside and you will find the large shared lawn space, complete with outdoor games facilities, outdoor seating and a BBQ. This provides a wonderful spot to dine alfresco during warm weather, whilst children and dogs can roam with your peace of mind. There are also 13 acres of woodland and lakes to explore, with opportunities for fishing on the River Walden, bird watching or just relaxing on the picnic benches.

We absolutely loved our stay in Herron Cottage. The grounds and views are gorgeous and perfect for a family holiday with dogs. The owners have thought of everything and offer their recommendations of local places to go. The cottages are really well kept and clean and quiet! Theres a lot to do within an hour of the cottages in all directions and perRead morefect for all ages. Perfect for quiet days in or busy days out. We have already recommended the cottages to all our friends and family! Hide
