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.

When we arrived the owners greeted us and gave us the information about the property and it’s features. We discovered a fault with the TV and let the owners know. By the next morning we had a brand new one waiting for us by the door! Great service lovely location. Will 100% be back...

Great place, so nice and cosy. Log burner was amazing and so was the hot tub! The kitchen had all the amenities to cook they had thought of everything ! Will stay again in the future.

What a little gem. A really delightful cottage for two. Hand-crafted in so many ways, with character and cosiness. The outside garden area was also lovely, with a hot-tub that was much enjoyed each day after walking the N Devon coast. David and Bex were the perfect hosts' to add to a very enjoyable stay at Straw Cottage. Thoroughly recommended....

Really lovely cottage, cosy with beautiful touches. Really enjoyed the hot tub and wood burner. The outside area was fabulous, though going in October we didn't get to make the most of it. Would love to go back in better weather.Beautiful setting, hot tub always ready at a lovely temperature, wood burner, garden and outdoor space, bedroom overlooking the garden and all the lovely artistic touches. Dave and Bex were also very friendly and helpful. Pub in the village 'The Farmers Arms' was excellent....
