Situated on a farm courtyard, you can experience Devon from a local perspective, making it an authentic romantic getaway. The patio area just outside is ideal for a quiet drink in the evening as the sun sets, or a morning coffee reading the paper. You have access to the owner's orchard, and with plenty of walks nearby, your dogs will fall in love with the countryside too. The village of Umberleigh is less than a mile away if you fancy an evening meal at one of the local pubs. All located on one floor, this farmhouse-style lodge, one of a complex of properties, offers simple yet characterful accommodation. The decor is contemporary but with traditional elements mixed with the modern to make this a homely and cosy getaway. Enjoy a home-cooked meal in the kitchen/diner: the effective use of space makes cooking simple in this well-equipped kitchen, and the calm colours ensure you have a relaxed dining experience. Featuring a stone wall, wooden beams and a vaulted ceiling, the lounge/bedroom is very cosy, with atmospheric lighting and pastel colours to create a romantic and stylish space. Watch a film on the TV while snuggled up on the sofa. A shower room and a WC completes this property. The River Taw runs alongside Umberleigh, as well as some picturesque woods, providing the perfect space to go on longer walks and appreciate your surroundings. If you prefer a coastal adventure, there are a plethora of beautiful beaches within 20 miles, such as Saunton, Croyde and Westward Ho!. Bring your surfboards and wetsuits and surf the waves, or why not spend an afternoon fishing? There are some lovely villages to explore too, such as Appledore with quaint cobbled streets and a thriving quay, just 17 miles away or head to the market town of Barnstaple (8 miles) for a variety of eateries, cinema and theatre.
