Austen Cottage - Swanmoor Grange

Situated in an idyllic Devonshire river valley with countryside views of the nearby meadows and farm fields, this attractive, dog-friendly holiday cottage is a superb choice for couples and small families. The property is situated on a 40-acre working farm accessed via a narrow, rustic lane. The wider area is perfect for country strolls and bike rides. Adventure awaits to the north at the Exmoor National Park (15 miles) with its vast empty plains, woodlands, heaths, and wild animals. A bit further afield, and to the south of the cottage is the Dartmoor National Park (27 miles) with trails galore to uncover. Enjoy a few days at the seaside; popular resorts such as Westward Ho! (12 miles), Saunton (13.5 miles), Woolacombe (18 miles), and Ilfracombe (19 miles) all provide golden beaches, amusement arcades, and interesting places to eat. For an authentic slice of Devon life, riverside, and shopping opportunities, head into the local town hubs of Barnstaple (6 miles), Bideford (8 miles), and South Molton (12 miles).
On arrival in the entrance hall, you will encounter the spacious living area that embraces an open-plan design. There is a lounge area with ample seating for all guests that centres around a Smart TV and pebble-effect electric fire; why not watch a movie or idle away some rest time reading a book? Close by is the contemporary kitchen area, which is fully equipped with all you will need to prepare and enjoy some lovely meals together. There is a dining table too. In addition to the living area, upstairs, you will find two restful bedrooms, one contains a king-size and the other a super-king zip-n-link (can be made into a twin on request). The master bedroom has a Smart TV, and an en-suite bathroom with a shower-over-the-bath and a WC; the other bedroom has an en-suite shower room with WC.
Stepping outside, you will find a courtyard garden with private hot tub perfect for use in all weathers due to its unique enclosure as well as outdoor furniture and a charcoal BBQ. This garden is the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee and some relaxation with your dog. There is also a second enclosed courtyard style garden, also off of the living area
