About this property

Farmhouse cottage - within 7 acres with large garden on the edge of Exmoor

Bramble Cottage is part of a smallholding on the edge of Exmoor with views to Holdstone Down, tucked away down a lane but within easy reach of all that North Devon has to offer. Exmoor is a 5-minute drive away with stunning walks and cosy gastro-pubs such as the Pyne Arms, Hunter's Inn and the Black Venus. The Michelin starred Kentisbury Grange is just around the corner. The sweeping sandy beaches of Woolacombe, Croyde, Saunton and Puttsborough are a 15 minute drive away and there are more pebbly beaches closer such as Combe Martin, Heddons Mouth and Hele Bay.
The cottage, which has been recently renovated, has two bedrooms that sleep 4/5, a modern family bathroom, a brand new kitchen, and a large lounge diner. There is a small enclosed courtyard at the entrance of the house and there is also a large shared garden with a trampoline, BBQ facilities and various seating areas across the lane. There is parking for one car. The property has been renovated to a very high standard. It has underfloor heating throughout downstairs and a log burner in the lounge for cosy evenings in. It is set within a smallholding that has dogs, cats, Golden Guernsey goats, OSB pigs, Black Welsh mountain sheep, chickens, and a large variety of other wildlife. We are hoping for lambs and kids this year all due in the month of April and May so there will be many cuddling opportunities. You can get as hands on with the animals as you like.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay in this gorgeous holiday cottage. Sarah is the perfect host and the cottage is the perfect location to explore this part of North Devon. Fabulous sandy beaches, charming seaside towns, great food and lots to see and do. We had a ball.

Perfect little farm cottage
This beautiful cottage is a hidden gem. Perfectly located for exploring the North Devon coast and Exmoor countryside. The cottage is clean, beautifully furnished, warm and well equipped. Sarah looked after us and we enjoyed meeting the farm animals. I'm sure children would absolutely love helping feed them. We loved our stay!

Lovely recently refurbished cottage
Wonderful cottage in a lovely area of the country with amazing local beeches not far away. Cottage had been recently refurbished so everything was very clean and almost new. Children were fascinated by the goats in the yard next to the cottage and we’re out there many times a day stroking the babies. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Even left us a homemade cake on arrival which was lovely!

Fantastic stay at Bramble Cottage
A beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. The owners were extremely friendly and we were greeted with a very tasty homemade cake and fresh eggs upon arrival. The cottage is of very high quality and was very clean. Our kids were very excited to be able to pop out to see the goats first thing each morning and give them a fuss - they were lovely animals and our boys were very sad to say goodbye to them! Combe Martin is close by and great for sea kayaking and crabbing, with the surf beaches of Woolacombe and Saunton just a 20 min drive. We had a fantastic week packed with fun!

Lovely quiet smallholding
We loved the space downstairs, which is often hard to find with cottage stays. Best nights sleep I've had in months and lots of fun meeting the goats, chickens, ducks, sheep, pigs, cats...would defijitely recommend it.

A wonderful stay
With children who love animals, as well as trips to the beach, this proved to be an ideal location. The property was perfect for our needs, and the Victoria Sponge that greeted us on arrival was very much appreciated. Sarah / Garry, have been in regular contact since the time of booking, answering any questions that we had and also providing great info regarding places to visit. A really great family stay!

A lovely week in North Devon
Bramble Cottage is a lovely holiday home for a family. Sarah and Garry were extremely friendly and welcoming hosts! We were greeted with Sarah’s delicious Vitoria Sponge and fresh eggs from their own chickens. The kids (and our dog) absolutely loved the adorable goats who are very friendly - the kids are allowed to help with the feeding wich really went down well with our 9 year old. They absolutely adored the sheep as well and loved the trampoline. Bramble cottage was very recently done up, very tastefully and stylishly. The location is ideal to explore the very nearby North Devon coast, with Combe Martin only a few minutes away, Woolacombe Beach (beach of the year 2021) 20min, Lynton and Lynmouth just 20min and Ilfracombe just 10min. We had an absolutely lovely week, thank you!

Fabulous cottage in a great location
The property was lovely and clean and perfect for my family. We loved waking up and being greeted by the goats. My dog loved them even more. We went to Woolacombe most days and it was a 15 min drive away so not too far. The dog friendly pubs that were recommended were again a short distance away and served delicious food. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Moore

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 enjoying active, outdoor lives in North Devon and would like to share this with you even if only for a short space of time. Enjoy the comfort of Bramble Cottage, and the beautiful surrounding areas, and the wide range of restaurants, cafes, and pubs in the vicinity. Stay in the cottages on a weekly basis during the school holidays and for shorter stays in term-time.

Why they chose this property

Bramble Cottage has just been fully renovated to a very high standard. It has a very large lounge diner for enjoying family time. The kitchen is brand new and fully equipped. The bedrooms are light and airy. The bathroom has a separate bath and shower, ambient lighting, and is a good size. There is a courtyard at the front of the property with a seating area. It is situated in a very peaceful setting but within easy reach of all that North Devon has to offer - moors, sandy and pebbly beaches, picturesque villages and towns, endless outdoor activities and beautiful surroundings.

What makes this property unique

There is access to a much larger garden with seating areas, BBQ, trampoline, and a lawned area. We have a number of animals you can visit on the smallholding - dogs, cats, goats, sheep, chickens, and ducks - and find out how to look after them.
