Straw Cottage in all its glory, the perfect getaway whatever the time of year.
A glass of wine and a dip in the hot tub is a must.
The open plan living area is delightful.
Steps lead up to the mezzanine 'snug' with limited headspace owing to being in the eaves.
The lovely large garden is all yours.
The bedroom is complete with a king-size double bed.
Cosy up on the sofa.
Dine inside or out, the choice is yours.
The gorgeous shelving was hand-crafted by the artist/blacksmith owners.
The 'snug' on the mezzanine area is the perfect place to chill out with a good book please note the limited head room.
Can you guess why it's called Straw Cottage?
Cook up a scrummy supper.
The bedroom leads through to the kitchen and on to the open plan living room.
The shower-room.
Another view of the shower-room, with WC and wash-basin.
The main entrance opens straight into the beautiful bedroom.
Just gorgeous.
The outside space is equally as enjoyable by day and night.
With sun loungers, outside furniture for dining al fresco and a bubbling hot tub.
Such an idyllic spot to getaway for a few days or more.
Lunch in the sunshine - bliss.
A dip in the bubbling hot tub is a must, what better way to relax.
The forged metalwork was cleverly designed/made by one of the owners and adds to the charm.
Have a snooze in the sun, dine al fresco or toast some marshmallows on the fire-pit - the choice is yours!
So much outside space to enjoy.

A wonderful, cozy home away from home, Straw Cottage has all the comforts you'll need and the outdoor space is fantastic (hot tub, fire pit, bbq, garden -- what more could you want). Everything is exactly as pictured. Also North Devon has so many sights to see and activities to do, one week wasn't enough to take it all in! Plus, the village around the corner has the incredible Farmer's Arms (do yourself a favour a book a meal here!). All in all, the perfect getaway. Will definitely be returning!...

The location is fab as it's only 20mins from the coast. There is a beautiful restaurant in the village only 10 minutes walk (expensive fine dining so only went once) and the local shop next door to that is well equipped. I did a half day blacksmith introduction run by the owners which was great fun. The hot tub was great as was the log burner. The cottage was cosy and private just what we wanted. We really enjoyed our stay....
