As you arrive at the property, you will pass through and past a fine array of historic and impressive thatched buildings, one of which houses the owner's micro-brewery. There are so many reasons to enjoy a holiday at S80985, not only are you staying in a part of Devon's rich history, but you also have use of your own private 1-acre meadow. Just a short walk from the front door, this large quiet open space compliments the private and cosy surroundings of the cottage perfectly.
