Two
bedroom holiday cottage in
Devon
The
converted barn was formally a cow stall, and was used to keep geese,
turkeys, calves, puppies or any of our farm animals that had no where else
to live!
It
is now a self contained unit comprising a large sitting/dining room,
kitchen, shower room, two bedrooms and parking.
It’s
called ‘Polywagtails’ as these birds used to nest in the ivy on the
roof, so we have left them a little enclosure at the eves in the hope that
they will return this year!
We are situated in the centre of the Blackdown Hills, which have been
designated "an area of outstanding natural beauty". The
Hills are a well-kept secret and span both Somerset and Devon and are a
haven for wildlife. Buzzards
are a common sight as are deer, and the quiet lanes and hedgerows are home
to some wonderful plant life including orchids, violets, primroses and a
spectacular show of bluebells in May.
There
are lovely walks straight from the door and good cycling if you don't mind
the occasional hill! There are several places of interest in the
area including Crealy Adventure Park, Pecorama at Beer, Hestercombe and
Forde Abbey Gardens, garden centres and nature trails. Dartmoor and Exmoor
are just an hours drive away. Taunton, Honiton, Wellington, Chard and
Ilminster each a 20 minute drive, with swimming pools, antique shops, lace
shops and markets. The county town of Exeter is 25 miles. The beach at
Lyme Regis, Seaton or Sidmouth ½ an hours car ride. If you fancy a day
closer to home, we have a pond stocked with Carp, Tench and Rudd which you
are welcome to fish at no extra charge, and you can finish the day at the
local inn in Churchinford village just one mile away.
