Beautifully decorated-well equipped stone cottage with wood burner set in a 50 acre private nature reserve with lake. Games barn, bike pool, wood fired off grid hot tub can be booked separetely. Woodland and riverside walks on Dartmoor, or cycle (borrow our bikes). Excellent walking, biking, horse riding, golf, wildlife, best wild swim spot in South West. Mardon is accessed via a stable door into a lounge with woodburning stove and dining area, a separate well equipped kitchen and a cloakroom with shower and toilet on the ground level. There is a smart TV with i-player and Netflix and an Echo show which can be used to listen to the radio and as a bluetooth speaker. There is an OS map in the bookcase so you can plan your walks in the local area and not get lost in the 45km of recently opened paths in Fingle Woods. Upstairs there is one double bedroom and one triple bedroom, and a family bathroom with a bath. The triple bedroom has stairs up to a mezanine level. This is an ideal play area for older children or younger children under supervision, since it is accessed up steep stairs (there is a stair gate at the bottom). All beds have pocket sprung mattresses as we know from experience how an uncomfortable mattress can spoil your holiday. The well equipped kitchen includes electric cooker, fridge freezer, dishwasher, microwave, kettle and toaster. There is access from the kitchen via a stable door to a south-facing private fenced garden with paved area and garden furniture. A bird feeder just outside the lounge window attracts a wide range of birds to the garden. A new district biomass central heating and hot water system, alongside double glazing throughout and a woodburner make the cottage extremely cosy. The cottage is beautifully decorated and all soft furnishings are home made, making it a really relaxing space. There are plenty of areas to relax in outside. You can relax in the private garden and watch the many birds that come to the feeder, you can take a stroll or sit on one the benches by the lake, walk up Sunny bank field to watch the sun set. Play table tennis/snooker/table football in the rustic games barn. Space for children to explore, make dens, games barn or large undercover barn for wet weather play. We have a wood fired off grid hot tub. The hot tub can be used by up to 6 people at a time. The cost is either £45 (if you heat the hot tub yourself) or £60 (if we heat it for you) for an afternoon/evening session and includes towels and glasses. It’s in a secluded spot with great views down the Teign Gorge, beautiful at sunset and then when the sun goes down the stars and fairy lights come out. If you would like more information or to book please email me. A communal washing machine is also available for use.
