From the old stone hearth housing a wood-burning stove to the stable-style doors and wood-clad rooms, this cottage embraces its 19th-century charms. Sitting in the quiet village of Bridford, there’s nought but the sound of birds and clang of church bells to disrupt you – even though the local pub is just down the road. If you’re seeking a bit of buzz, Exeter is a twenty-minute drive, but we think hiking boots are the best way to explore your locale in Dartmoor National Park. This home welcomes like a warm hug, with its cosy farmhouse kitchen, seat in front of the fire and view of fields and woodland.
Home truths: *At capacity, one guest will be on the sofa bed in the living room – let your host know in advance if you'd like bedding for the sofa bed
*There is a pub in the village but you'll need a car to reach the nearest shop
and there is free on-street parking outside
*The bedroom is up a ladder staircase so guests will need to be comfortable with steep stairs
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*You'll have your own private entrance here
