Description
Barnstaple 9 miles.
Located in the small village of Brayford near the market town of South Molton in North Devon is Post Box Retreat, a fabulous, two-bedroom cottage.
Nestled on the edge of the Exmoor National Park, the property has a homely interior and sleeps four, with the main bedroom having the flexibility of a King Size or Twin Beds to suit.
The property has a small courtyard garden, perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the Tarka Trail or the stunning coastline of nearby Woolacombe and Saunton Sands.
Entering the living/dining room via the hall, it comprises plush seating, a Smart TV with Freesat box, a DVD player, a dining table for four, and a woodburning stove.
There is a well-equipped kitchen, where you can prepare delicious meals when you’re not dining at a local restaurant.
When sleep calls, head upstairs to find two well-appointed bedrooms, including a king-size (zip/link), and a double, both serviced by a spacious shower room.
The nearest village shop is Bratton Fleming, perfect for stocking up on last minute essentials.
The market town of South Molton, famous for its weekly Pannier Markets and independent shops full of local tasty produce is just 7 miles away.
If you’re looking for a friendly local pub, The Black Venus at Challacombe or The New Inn in Goodleigh are a short drive.
For attractions, head to Exmoor Zoo or The Quince Honey farm, both firm family favourites.
If a stroll around gardens is more your ideal day out Arlington Court and the National Trust Carriage Museum are nearby, with the Chichester family home built in the Regency period, Victorian walled gardens, and picturesque walks through the estate.
Travel to the coastline, reaching Combe Martin Beach in just a few miles; it's also home to the Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park, the local Museum and you can go Coasteering or hire a kayak or paddle board, offering something for everyone.
Complete your break with a tour of Barnstaple, its museum, and the River Taw, before traversing the North Devon Coast Nature Reserve, for some breath-taking walks.

What guests are saying
My weeklong stay at the property was very enjoyable.
I found the accommodation to be clean and comfortable. The weather was reasonable and it is a great base to explore Exmoor and North Devon.
Easy to get to and locate, parking space was ideal.
Property was cosy, clean and tidy. Perfect for our family of four's visit to North Devon. Kitchen is dated but is well equipped and has all the mod cons. Arrived to a lovely bag of local scones and a selection of cream and jams which was a kind and welcoming gesture.
The cottage is lovely and very comfortable with lots of thoughtful details and lots of cushions/blankets etc to make it cosy.
It needs a new kitchen as very dated but the rest has been updated more recently and was all very clean. Its a bit out of the way but a very quiet location.
