Nestled in an idyllic and peaceful corner of North Devon, Marsh Cottage is a beautifully converted 19th-century stable set in a secluded courtyard opposite the old mill. This charming cottage offers the perfect blend of rustic character and modern comfort, making it an ideal retreat for families, couples, or nature lovers seeking calm and inspiration.
The triple-aspect sitting room is the heart of the home, brimming with atmosphere thanks to its sloping timber-panelled ceiling and exposed natural stone wall. There are also 2 log burners, one in each living room. The kitchen/dining room features a traditional Rayburn (not for guest use), creating a welcoming space. The cottage also offers a bathroom upstairs and a shower room downstairs, serving its three bedrooms – one light-filled double and a single room on the upper floor and a double on the ground floor.
Outside, the peaceful garden and patio area are bordered by the gently flowing stream, providing a perfect spot to relax with a book, enjoy al fresco meals, or simply listen to the sounds of nature.
Located just two miles from the small village of Burrington, Marsh Cottage is surrounded by a landscape rich with bridleways and walking tracks, ideal for countryside walks and wildlife spotting. At approximately 540 feet above sea level, the village enjoys views of both Exmoor and Dartmoor on clear days. Burrington also offers a friendly community store stocked with locally sourced essentials and treats.
Whether you're looking to explore Devon's moorlands and coastlines or simply want to unwind in peaceful surroundings, Marsh Cottage offers a truly special getaway.
Marsh Cottage allows up to 2 well-behaved dogs during your stay.
