Smythen Farmhouse

Return from your long walks in beautiful North Devon to luxuriate in the shared facilities on this scenic site in North Devon. Guests at this inviting cottage benefit from access to an indoor, heated pool, as well as a sauna and hot tub when they book the four-bedroom retreat at Sterridge, 3 miles from Combe Martin.

Sleeping eight guests, the dog-friendly former farmhouse features a crackling wood burner, making it ideal for year-round breaks. Wander inside via the porch and boot room and head into the welcoming, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner to fire up the wood burner and sink back into the soft seating.

Gather for a family film evening in front of the Smart TV and make the most of the high-end kitchen fittings and appliances to cater for yourselves when you choose. There is an island, with a breakfast bar, in here, as well as a dining table.

Members of your party might also choose to retire to the snug to play games or read their books. A utility room and a cloakroom are also on the ground floor.

Ascend to the first floor when you are ready to treat yourself to an excellent night’s sleep. Here you will find a king-size bedroom, a double and two twins.

The king-size and the double each have an en-suite shower room, and the king-size benefits from a Smart TV. There is also a family bathroom.

Take the children to the shared play area and to see the donkeys. There is parking for one car here, with extra parking nearby.

Pack your costumes, towels and surfboards and head off to the picturesque beach at Combe Martin. Venture into the magnificent Exmoor Park, 5 miles away, to look out for an array of wildlife and the famous roaming ponies.
