Huckleby House

Surrounded by idyllic countryside, this charming single-level hideaway makes a fantastic hideaway for couples seeking a quiet base for exploring a picturesque part of Mid Devon. The lodge lies in a wonderfully secluded spot about a mile from the sweet village of Stoodleigh and within easy reach of the historic market town of Tiverton (7.5 miles), home to a medieval castle, Knightshayes Court and the Grand Western Canal Country Park.

Heading east you can explore the stunning northern reaches of the Blackdown Hills (17 miles). To the south, you can explore the thriving city of Exeter (21.5 miles); heading north, the beautiful expanses of the magnificent Exmoor National Park (7 miles) offer miles of breathtaking walks.

For a day by the sea, the popular resort of Minehead (22.5 miles) lies at the north-eastern edge of the park. This charming property sits in a quiet spot with gates leading to a gravelled driveway.

A few steps take you up to the terrace, with double doors opening into the bright, fresh and cheery interior. Here you will be greeted by a spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner which makes an ideal space for settling back and relaxing after a great day exploring the Devon countryside.

Over at the far side, the cheerful lounge area has a Smart TV and comfortable seating, backing onto a lovely central dining area perfect for sharing a romantic meal together. At the other side of the room, the stylishly arranged kitchen has ample equipment, workspace and storage space, including a useful island/breakfast bar.

When it’s time to turn in for the night, there’s a cosy king-size bedroom with peaceful rural views. The accommodation is rounded off with a refreshing shower room.

Double doors open out onto a charming raised terrace with a bubbling hot tub and ample outdoor furniture, offering a delightful spot for sitting out, dining alfresco and taking in the glorious vistas of the surrounding hills. Parking is available for one car.
