With sixteen acres to play with, this estate in North Devon houses a number of cottages, of which this beautifully rustic and comfortable home is one. Wander the gardens, meadows and orchards, taking care not to stroll into a stream or one of the ponds. Walk up to ‘The Lookout’, a pinnacle from where the deep green of the countryside is laid out for you to admire. After a refreshing morning walk – if you’re furry friend’s tagging along, you’ll have five acres of dog walking field at your disposal – stop off at home for a warm drink. Kindle a fire in the lounge and sink back in the velvet sofa, grateful for little things like the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the crackle of burning wood. With views of the beautiful garden on offer from the patio, you’ll likely find your way into the private hot tub at some point – spend as long as you need until you’ve let go of all tension, but don’t forget to make it in time for feeding time. With over fifty types of animals, including pygmy goats and hand-reared lambs, you’re not going to want to miss it. The estate... also has an extensive kitchen garden and greenhouse open to their guests. Pick something to use in an alfresco lunch or when you’re trying something new for dinner, or simply get a private chef in to do all the cooking for you. After a long day, watch the sun dip below the horizon from your sunlounger before grabbing a packet of marshmallows from the honesty shop and heading to the shared fire pit. Roast marshmallows, stargaze, and meet new friends around the dancing flames and when the day’s activities catch up with you, duck out to retreat to the comfort of the plush double bed – but not without indulging in a steaming bubble bath.
