About this property
Set in the heart of the Devon countryside yet within easy reach of its spectacular coastline and sandy beaches, The Hawthorns offers a blissful rural escape complete with sweeping views and the luxury of your own private hot tub. Tucked away in the tranquil village of North Molton, this beautifully presented stone‑fronted cottage provides a warm and inviting retreat for families, couples, friends and their four‑legged companions, perfectly placed for exploring both Exmoor’s wild beauty and Devon’s stunning shorelines.
From the rear decked terrace, rolling countryside unfolds in every direction, creating an idyllic backdrop for slow breakfasts, relaxed afternoons and unforgettable evenings under the stars in the hot tub. Guests also have access to a shared games room and six acres of private fields, ideal for dog walks, picnics or simply soaking up the peaceful charm of rural Devon.
Inside, The Hawthorns feels instantly homely. The open‑plan living space brings together a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area for six and a characterful sitting room complete with beamed ceilings, a woodburning stove, Freeview TV and a selection of books and DVDs. It’s the perfect setting for long dinners, cosy film nights or warming up by the fire after a day exploring the coast or countryside.
If alfresco dining beckons, step straight onto the decked terrace before settling into the hot tub beneath Exmoor’s renowned dark skies — a magical experience thanks to the area’s low light pollution and serene surroundings.
On quieter days, the shared games room offers pool, air hockey and table tennis for all‑weather entertainment. When it’s time to unwind, three inviting bedrooms await: a double with en‑suite, a twin and a bunk room, served by a family bathroom and an additional cloakroom to ensure comfort and convenience for all.
The cottage is particularly enchanting in winter. Peaceful beaches, quiet villages and undisturbed countryside walks lie within easy reach, with the day’s adventures ending by the glow of the log fire or in the hot tub under a canopy of stars. The owner lives discreetly on site, offering a friendly point of contact while ensuring complete privacy throughout your stay.
With its generous outdoor space, stylish interiors, pet‑friendly welcome and superb position for enjoying both the Devon countryside and coastline, The Hawthorns is an ideal choice for guests seeking relaxation, reconnection and a truly memorable break at any time of year.
