“A magical escape to the hills”
My stay at Stag View cottage was just magical. From the moment I drove up into the greenland hills that led to the cottages, over a river with a real forest feel, I knew I had found somewhere special. It's a total escape away from all the chaos of life....such a beautiful get away!! We parked the car next to the cottage and as we stepped into the crisp, fresh air, I felt overwhelmed by the views and the gorgeous set up. I instantly felt dramatically lighter and more relaxed. It was Such a treat! So quiet and peaceful. The cottage's interior is beautifully contemporary and a real breath of fresh air for country accommodation, with the open glass patio doors giving spectacular views. The village is so cute and I enjoyed taking relaxing walks...and the local pub is really friendly! There are gorgeous sandy North Devon beaches too- only an hours drive away which was fantastic!! The owners of the cottages are really so helpful and friendly so I never felt lost and was really welcomed from the start. The under floor heating was a real cosy treat too! Ah, this place is just wonderful! I cannot recommend it enough. If you want to feel relaxed, recharged and replenished then please visit Stag View..... you wont regret it!!

About the location
STOODLEIGH
Tiverton 6 miles; Dulverton 8 miles.
Stoodleigh is a small village situated in Mid Devon, approximately six miles north of Tiverton. This conservation village is situated above the Exe Valley close to the border of Somerset. It is home to the 15th century Church of St Margaret’s which was restored in 1782 and is still home to a Norman font, and there is a village inn. There are plenty of footpaths, fly fishing in the glorious clear waters of the River Exe and natural wildlife in the area, plus there are several National Trust stately homes and gardens within easy reach, including Knightshayes Court, a striking gothic mansion with extensive grounds. Tiverton, a large town just six miles away offers some interesting places in amongst the hustle and bustle of everyday life, including Tiverton Museum of Mid Devon Life, which is one of the largest social history museums in the south west. Stoodleigh is located only 6 miles from the rolling wild green hills of Exmoor, where you will find stags, streams and breathtaking scenery, along with the town of Dulverton and Dunster village. This is a perfect base for touring rural inland Devon, often missed by tourists heading for the coast.
