There aren’t many places in the UK where you can swim in an outdoor pool year-round, but this is one of them. This idyllic farmhouse has a 34-foot heated swimming pool in the garden, in addition to every other dreamy amenity you could wish for. Wake up in a sumptuously comfortable bed, having enjoyed the kind of peaceful night’s sleep you can only achieve in the countryside. Collect freshly laid eggs for breakfast – the kitchen is a treat to cook in – and dine together at the long farmhouse table. This is the perfect home for get-togethers as there’s plenty of room for everyone to spend time together – but there are also cosy corners for you to curl up in, undisturbed. Perhaps you’ll spend your day at home, swimming in the pool, wandering through the mature orchard, and watching the kids play in the garden. If you fancy seeing a bit more of the area, you might lace up your hiking boots and set off on the 6-mile circular walk that runs right past the front door. This delightful home can be found between the thriving villages of Clyst Hydon, Talaton and Plymtree, all surrounded by scenic countryside, and all with their own village pub to discover. Exeter is a thirty-minute drive away, and is a great choice for a day trip. In the evenings, we’d set up camp on the terrace. Order in food to enjoy alfresco, then toast marshmallows over the fire pit as you watch the stars emerge. This is a wonderful spot for stargazing as there’s no light pollution.
