About the property

Nestled in a peaceful valley on the edge of Exmoor’s North Devon coast and one of six holiday homes on the site, Turnstone Cottage provides a cosy retreat for couples. The interior is homely, yet stylish with plenty of space to relax and socialise, while the private hot tub is perfectly placed to enjoy views over the valley. Should you wish to explore the area, the estate offers many facilities, or you can explore a selection of stunning beaches, including Barricane Beach and Woolacombe.

The space

This delightful stone cottage is located in a courtyard with two other cottages and the shared indoor swimming pool.

Step through the stable door and into the open-plan kitchen/dining/living room. The kitchen is well-equipped with all the essentials including an electric oven, an induction hob, a fridge and freezer, a microwave and a dishwasher. Meanwhile, the dining table provides the perfect setting to enjoy meals together or chat about your day.

The elegantly designed living room is a particularly cosy space with two comfortable sofas, a wood-burning stove and a Smart TV, while the views of the valley are quite spectacular.

Upstairs, there is one beautifully decorated king-size bedroom and a bathroom with a shower over the bath.

The outdoor terrace is complete with garden furniture, a BBQ, a chiminea and a hot tub with enchanting views over the animal enclosure and beyond.
