About this property
Barn Owl is a beautiful self-catering cottage nestled deep within the Exmoor countryside. The spacious cottage can sleep up to 4 people and serves as a wonderful base for exploring the local area. Complete with a large garden with patio and seating area, as well as an exclusive small wooded area.
Accommodation
Up the short path through the front lawns to the front door there is a well-equipped kitchen, with a large dining table. Also on the ground floor is a spacious sitting room, perfect for relaxing, with leather sofas, a woodburner and a TV with Freeview and DVD player functions. A complimentary large bag of logs for the wood burner are provided.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms, one king and one twin room, and a large bathroom with a toilet, basin and bath with shower attachment.
The garden stretches all around the property, and includes a charming little wooded area, as well as a patio with garden furniture. 1 dog is welcome, however we ask that they should be kept on a lead at all times (sheep country).
In the laundry room (in one of the small stone barns) is a coin-operated washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a shared freezer and a payphone. A hosepipe alongside the laundry room serves as a great addition to allow dog, boot, bike washing!

Location is secluded and beautifully situated in a valley, peace and quiet guaranteed. You can forget the world and its problems The night time darkness was a unique experinece in today's frenetic, overhyped environment and there were countless numbers of stars twinkling in the sky that you'd never imagine existed. Barn Owl cottage is tastefully appointed and comfortably furnished. Fran has obviously put a lot of thought and care into this and other projects
