4 miles from Colyton, deep in thick, lush hedgerow lanes in the Coly Valley, is the sleepy hamlet of Northleigh, 5 to 7 miles from the lovely coastal villages of Beer, Sidmouth and Branscombe.
On the edge of Northleigh, three cottages converted from traditional Devon barns on a small mixed farm raising beef, free range poultry and a few piglets.
The Linney opens from the courtyard on to your open plan living space with seating area for watching TV, a dining area and a well equipped kitchen.
On sunny days, open the glass doors to your patio for eating alfresco and the shared lawn.
Head upstairs to your two comfortable bedrooms sharing a family bathroom.
Ducks on the pond (fenced), cobblestones in the courtyard, a soppy dog and dignified cat make this an utterly charming place to stay, unwind and enjoy a friendly, rural idyll.
This property can be booked with The Shippen (976058) and Battens (976059) and together they sleep 14.
