The Experience

This place takes open plan to a whole new level – kitchen, dining, sitting and sleeping are all rolled together in one nifty ensemble. It’s artfully put together and there is rustic charm in the unpainted bare plaster walls, an exposed wooden-beamed open roof and some well-chosen furniture and art.

Cook together in the kitchen area with its Everhot stove, Le Creuset pans and an eclectic set of pottery mugs and recycled wine tumblers – you’ll find plenty of dry and tinned goods in the cupboards and Mary leaves you a bowl of seasonal fruit, croissants, eggs, bread from the local bakery and homemade jam and marmalade.

The big bed has a lovely antique bedspread, fresh linen, romantic lighting and a screen if you want to close yourselves in. From here there are French windows to the front gravel area with a table and chairs, which gets the sun most of the day. There’s a tennis court just next door, a field for exercising dogs and John and Mary can bring round a barbecue if you want a summer supper.

Reviews

I was immediately transported to a rural French setting in the mid-19th century. Romance and rustic charm ooze from every corner in this beautifully put together, totally open-plan space. No TV to kill the vibe here, a place to read, converse and simply be. There are terrific walks in the area and much to see if you ever leave but why would you? The ideal place to come and decompress. A treasure.

Becks, Exeter

Everything we had hoped for a short break away with our 2 dogs. Mary and John were welcoming leaving a very generous box of goodies for us on arrival. Beautifully decorated, well equipped and so peaceful that we felt totally relaxed the minute we walked in the door. The dogs enjoyed the enclosed field nearby and we loved sitting and doing nothing for a change. An enormous shower with plenty of hot water and the most comfortable bed made for the perfect night away. We will definitely be back - thank you

Gorgeous walks all around and the cottage itself is dreamy - very cosy and quiet. Our one loved it too!
