The charming dining area, with seating for four, is ideal for enjoying home-cooked meals, family breakfasts, or a quiet morning coffee before heading out to explore Devon. French doors open onto a private patio - a tranquil outdoor haven where you can soak up panoramic countryside views and listen to the sounds of nature all around.

The modern family bathroom includes a bath, overhead shower, heated towel rail, and sleek white tiling - the perfect spot to refresh after a day of exploring North Devon's coast and countryside. A third room offers a quiet study area, perfect for reading, working remotely, or enjoying a peaceful family board game, a flexible space ideal for guests seeking relaxation away from the main living areas.

Outside, the private patio area is furnished with a garden table and chairs, creating the perfect setting for alfresco dining, evening drinks, or sunset watching over the surrounding fields.
