A Stylish & Welcoming Devon Cottage
Designed for easy, single-level living, Bramblewood is especially well suited for guests who prefer step-free accommodation. Earthy tones and soft textures create a calm, inviting feel throughout, while pops of vibrant colour bring modern flair.
The spacious living room features a plush green sofa and armchair — the ideal spot for catching up after a day on the coast or enjoying a cosy film night on the Smart TV. A stunning double-sided fireplace with a wood-burning stove connects the living room and the bright kitchen-diner, adding warmth and rustic charm to both spaces.
The kitchen offers a cheerful blend of bold yellows and slate greys, complete with everything you need for relaxed self-catering. Seating for six sits beside the feature fireplace, making it the heart of the home for shared meals and morning coffees.
Relaxing Bedrooms for a Restful Stay
Bramblewood sleeps up to six guests across three beautifully furnished bedrooms:
- Second Bedroom – King-size bed with feature silver-effect headboard, hanging rail, chest of drawers
- Third Bedroom – Bunk beds ideal for children, with storage and clothing rail
The smart family shower room features crisp grey tiling, a double-size shower, and a modern suite.
Private Hot Tub & Large Garden Retreat
To the rear of the cottage, doors lead to a spacious paved terrace overlooking an undulating garden framed by mature roses, laurels, tall trees, and seasonal blossoms. This tranquil outdoor haven includes:
- Private hot tub — perfect for unwinding beneath clear Devon skies
- Large rattan lounge seating — ideal for social drinks & outdoor dining
- BBQ space — for relaxed evenings in nature
- Half an acre of beautiful grounds blending into the surrounding countryside
Whether you're enjoying a sunny family picnic, reading in the shade, or soaking in the hot tub, Bramblewood’s garden is a sanctuary of peace.

Beautiful surroundings
Really lovely location and house with beautiful surroundings and easy to get around. We managed to find the place however it was not the easiest to park. Inside the property was clean and well presented. Enjoy to games, hot tub and wood burner.
Lovely place but needs decorating . Lovely kitchen and lounge . Some damp in front bedroom and the shower was very loud. Hot tub had a slight leek so had to to get someone to come out and top it up. Overall was lovely and peaceful and near everything

Dear Joanne. A big thanks for taking the time to review Bramblewood. We have taken your comments onboard and immediately raised these issues with the Owner and our Housekeeping team. It's a shame the shower and damp were not raised during your stay, as these could have been addressed immediately to ensure you enjoyed the rest of your stay. Warm regards The Fresh Escapes Team

Beautiful property and location.
Beautiful property and location. Was a musky smell but was clean on the inside. Would have made world of difference if outside was better kept, lots of leaves cobwebs etc in seating area. Has everything you needed in the kitchen, although very small freezer. Beautiful private location great distance from local towns etc. a little difficult to find and very steep hill where signage is to property but there is another road that goes up to the back drive.
Upon arrival hot tub was not ready and had not been cleaned between visits but fresh escapes were very easy to contact and helpful, we did it ourselves but the pool guy was there first thing to check and test the hot tub.
Overall, we had a relatively seamless and happy stay at this house and enjoyed our time on the south coast. The house is beautifully furnished, if a little tired in places.
We had an issue with the hot water on arrival but the property managing company were efficient and communicative and the problem was quickly resolved. Unfortunately, this did leave us to discover that the security camera that is positioned over the patio and hot tub was streaming to a laptop inside the locked boiler cabinet. We can understand why a security camera may be necessary but we were disappointed that this was not clearly stated in the booking information, as is required by Vrbo’s advertising standards.

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Mixed - but overall enjoyed our stay.
excellent location, local roads are properly only one car width wide so if you meet a car coming up the road one of you will have reversing to do which was a challenge. mix up with the hot tub not being cleaned so no use of that for first 4 days. In need of a good clean and decorating, some black mould in bathroom and fridge seal, enough that the toilet seat broke in half and I replaced at own cost. internet speed is poor 2-3mbps at best. 4x4 car recommended to get up the drive. Didnt love the neighbours cockerel announcing itself at 7am each day, but its the countryside so....

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback we really appreciate it. We will pass your comments on to the housekeepers.
Schöne, im Grunde saubere Unterkunft, aber Schimmel im Bad und in einem Schlafzimmer. Geschmackvolle Einrichtung.
Schlaf-Gelegenheiten für 6 Personen aber nur 3 Löffel. Ausstattung in der Küche verbesserungswürdig. Keine Auflaufform, nur 2 kleine Töpfe.
Keine Wäscheleine. Ausblick von der Terrasse auf einen kleinen Rohbau. Grundstück nicht komplett eingezäunt.
Ferienhaus absolut ok, aber nicht für die Preisklasse. Da haben wir mehr erwartet .
