Cadbury Cottage in popular village sleeps 2-7

Delightful cottage, period features with an up-to-date twist, newly renovated. In popular village (great pub & proper shop) close to Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, World Heritage site & 2 National Parks, between 2 coasts. Two double (opt. twin) bedrooms, one c. en-suite shower; converted loft bedroom with 2 singles and sofa bed (access suitable for hobbits/children!); travel cot on request; full wet room bathroom; fully fitted kitchen, separate living/dining room. Rather steep staircases! This is a quirky cottage, around four hundred years old, which in centuries past was integral with our own house. It is now newly renovated, updated and ready for self-catering guests with very flexible accommodation. There are two double (optional twin) bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower wet room. The fully converted loft is ideal for children and young people (access from the staircase is height-restricted but the room is fully accessible for the able) and will accommodate three (or more) children/teens with no difficulty. There is a large wetroom bathroom with a walk-in shower and full bath. On the ground floor is a large living room/dining room and a fully equipped kitchen with seating and table. The kitchen is equipped with everything you would need for a few days to a couple of weeks stay. In addition to store cupboard basics (cereals, jam, teas, coffee) we will supply a breakfast welcome pack of fresh bread, butter, milk, yoghurt, juice, eggs and bacon to get you started. Outside, large carriage gates give access from the road to the back door of Cadbury Cottage and the secluded, walled courtyard beyond. There is a gate between the rear area of the cottage and the main courtyard. Cadbury Cottage has its own deck space outside, and you are welcome to use any of the outdoor areas in the courtyard, which includes the garden and a number of sitting spaces. There is fridge freezer space available in the barn for guests, washing machine for guest use and tumbler to use if required. We are happy to help with information about local amenities. We live in one of the most popular villages in the area, on the edge of the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; the River Culm winds under a highly photogenic stone built bridge, next to which you'll find The Culm Valley Inn, excellent for food, beers, live music from time to time and all round good company. We have a superb deli and shop too, The Strand Stores, where you can shop for any basics you need or get a great cooked breakfast from 8.00 Mon-Sat, 9.30 on Sunday, if you don't feel like cooking for yourself. There are really good walks up and down the river, or up to Culmstock Beacon, one of the best preserved of the Armada Beacons (Grade 1 listed monument), with opportunities for other walks further into the Blackdown Hills. This is also a very popular cycling area and we have plenty of dry, secure storage for your bikes. Get in the car and you can be at South Devon's World Heritage Jurassic coast or on the North Somerset coast in 40 - 45 mins. Alternatively head for National Parks, Exmoor (around 40 mins away), or Dartmoor (about an hour). There are several historical monuments and National Trust properties not far away too. A car is advisable, although public transport is available (there are four buses per day in each direction which run between Taunton and Seaton. We are about 10 minutes from the nearest mainline station at Tiverton Parkway (West Coast line, GWR from Paddington and local trains) and 25 minutes from Honiton station (Waterloo/Penzance line). There are several local taxi companies if required.... or use your bike!
