Peaceful Rural Location Set Within 5 Acres Of Pasture and Woodland, pet friendly

The cottage has character and charm and is set in the picturesque Devon countryside. It is peaceful and quiet with views from the land across open countryside. Dartmoor and Exmoor are easily accessible as are the North Devon beaches of Instow, Braunton, Saunton Sands, Ilfracombe and Woolacombe. Cyclists and walkers can also enjoy the nearby Tarka Trail which runs along a disused railway line. Great Torrington is the nearest town (about 15 minute drive) which has supermarkets, pubs and restaurants. The larger towns of Bideford and Barnstaple are about 30 minutes drive away. The RHS gardens at Rosemoor are closeby. The New Inn at Roborough is the nearest pub (1.5 miles) serving local beers and food. The holiday cottage is thought to be about 200 years old. It is joined to our own property and has it's own entrance. You will have exclusive use of a garden area to the front and access to the five acres of pasture and woodland and look over our newly constructed (2021) wildlife pond. You can have a barbecue or sit around a campfire in the woods. The cottage has a wood burning stove for chilly evenings and full newly installed green air source heat pump, central heating. The water is heated and electricity generated by solar panels. Superfast fibre broadband is available for you to use. The cottage is a perfect base for your holiday in stunning North Devon

Lovely quiet weekend
We had a lovely peaceful weekend away here. Lynda was very welcoming even though we arrived 5 hours late due to motorway closure. Nice secluded woodland for the dogs to roam about in. Well equipped cottage and comfortable beds which is always a bonus.

Tranquil Relaxing Stay
A lovely location with full use of the grounds which we greatly enjoyed, strolling with our dog around the pond and the meadow and sitting out in the secluded garden when the weather permitted. The house was comfortable and well equipped, and best of all, peaceful. The house is well located for visiting the countryside and north coast of Devon. A slight quibble, in that, on a cold wet first day, the house was not warm enough, but that was quickly remedied with the owners, who were very helpful throughout.

So relaxing
No Place really is like no other place! Surrounded by beautiful countryside and so very quiet and peaceful. Great touristy spots within driving distance, eg Bideford, Barnstaple, Woolacombe and Ilfracombe. Would recommend one of the local pubs, The Globe Inn, at Beaford too - great food! We hope to visit No Place again.

Relaxing Rural Break
The property owners we lovely, low key, helpful and friendly. Nestling into the fields and trees and attached to the adjoining the owners house, this beautiful country hideaway was superbly appointed. Very comfortable, cosy, spacious, all mod cons including fully functioning wifi. The private hedged and lawned garden in front of the property was in full summer bloom and at our disposal, complete with table and chairs and fire pit which we made good use of, the owners provided wood for us too! Set within a large magical woodland and wild meadows, along with a large pond with jetty, this private and well kept hideaway had commanding views over the surrounding views over the southern hills and wide open sky. Winding narrow lanes soon lead you out to the main roads making north Devon attractions easily reachable. We're going back and you should investigate too as it will exceed your expectations.

Comfortable and homely rental to base ourselves from for a week exploring North Devon and the South West Coastal path. Beautiful garden, peaceful location. Lynda, our host, couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating.

Great short stay
The house was clean and fully equipped. It was a bit on the chilly side in early April, but we lit the fire a couple of times which really helped to warm the cottage up. The owners were really helpful, friendly and accommodating, and it was reassuring they were just next door to assist with anything. We had a great few days exploring the coast mainly and the cottage was a fantastic base for us!

Perfect getaway
We loved our stay at No Place. The owners were very helpful and welcoming. Cottage was really cosy. The thing that hit us the most was how peaceful it was! Lovely grounds to explore around the cottage itself. I would highly recommend a visit to the fabulous Rosemoor Gardens which are only about 15 minutes away. And The Globe Inn at Beaford does a fabulous Sunday roast! We very much hope we get the chance to go back and stay here again.

Lovely setting and cottage
Lovely cottage and location, if you want to get away from town/city life. We took our two dogs and the Springer especially loved the grounds, woodland and wildflower meadow. Close enough to great walks and a drive to the beaches. Plenty to see and do in the greater area. Superb communication from the owner throughout the booking process and the extra basket of goodies on arrival after a 5hr trek was much appreciated. 😃 Recommended.

Lovely Peaceful Location
Comfortable cottage with an eco friendly ethos, very rural and quiet. We enjoyed our stay, sadly didn't get to explore much of the grounds due to a fractured foot which was a shame. Warm welcome from Lynda who was able to recommend a couple of places with flat walks for us to explore.

Beautiful cottage
We had a lovely week here. The cottage was charming and very comfortable. I particularly appreciated the eco-friendly modifications which have been made to the property :) Lynda and David were very friendly and welcoming and were happy to suggest places for us to visit. The gardens were beautiful and fun to explore. Our little dog loved running around the meadow and in the woodland area. The kids spent a lot of time in the hammock and the treehouse. Thoroughly recommend, and would love to go back sometime.

A beautiful place
Beautiful grounds, lovely spacious house, all great quality furniture, fittings , decor and new beds- extremely comfortable. Very quiet, beautiful meadow, garden and woodland- great for children and dog. A few bumpy tracks locally but great base to reach the beaches and costal villages. All in all a really place to spend quality family time.

Fabulous cottage in a stunning location
My family and I had a wonderful time during our stay. Upon arrival we were stunned by the setting which included woodland, a wild flower meadow and a tranquil pond teeming with wildlife - perfect for spending some quality time as a family. The cottage is well equipped, clean and cosy. A real home from home. Lynda made us feel immediately welcome and recommended some local highlights to visit including some stunning beaches and scenic walks. I can't recommend the cottage, or the hosts, highly enough.

Just lovely....
Lovely stay in beautiful grounds...owners were understanding that children make noise & as we had 3 with us this put us at ease, I really appreciated that. The garden and woods were ideal for children, in particular the pond & tree house. Cosy cottage and very roomy. Slight musty smell to the downstairs bedroom & some kitchen pots could be improved but apart from these minor things it was a great place to stay. Many thanks.....
