2 Bed Cottage in Bishops Tawton

About this property

Situated in an elevated position between the owner’s magnificent thatched home, this stunning property promises an unforgettable escape to guests. Conveniently located off the A377 between Barnstaple (3.5 miles) and Exeter (37.5 miles), you’re in prime position to explore the stunning Devon countryside including Dartmoor National Park (26 miles to the edge of the park). Hang up your coats and take off your boots after a long day out walking and head to the private hot tub to bubble away among stunning views.

Whether you’re taking a nap in the sun on the patio lounger or you’re off finding walking routes along the River Taw, everyone will find their own way to unwind here. The interiors have a delightful contemporary country-style feel with exposed stone walls and wood beams dotted throughout. The lounge is bright and airy during the day, but draw the curtains across the patio doors and light the wall-mounted gas fire in the evening and it becomes a cosy haven. If the hot tub’s not your thing, take a sumptuous soak in the freestanding bath in the bathroom, gazing out of the window at towards the rolling hills.

Barnstaple offers a great day out for the whole family. Visit the Museum of Barnstaple and North Devon to discover the natural and human history of the area or go to the Barnstaple Heritage Centre (4 miles). The pannier market is also worth a trip to pick up tasty local produce and souvenirs. The fantastic beach at Saunton Sands (11 miles) is ideal for novice surfers and paddling, while Westward Ho! (12 miles) is a popular spot for surfers, paddleboarders and walkers thanks to the Northam Burrows Country Park that backs onto the beach.
