Ideal for couples or solo travellers seeking peace, privacy and slow living, this intimate cottage combines rustic charm with modern comforts, offering a romantic base for relaxed days, star-filled nights and unhurried escapes into the Devon landscape.

  • Inside

    Cruwys Cote is thoughtfully designed as a cosy, open-plan retreat where living, dining and kitchen spaces flow seamlessly together. Exposed beams, natural textures and muted tones create a warm, characterful atmosphere, while contemporary finishes ensure comfort throughout. The sitting area invites relaxed evenings, with a comfortable sofa positioned for movie nights on the Smart TV, complete with a full Sky Entertainment package.

    The compact yet well-equipped kitchen features shaker-style cabinetry, wooden worktops and a breakfast bar for two, ideal for slow mornings and informal dining. The bedroom is generous and inviting, arranged beneath original beams and furnished with a king-size zip-and-link bed, dressing table and storage, offering a calm and comfortable space to unwind. Adjoining the bedroom, the ensuite bathroom is finished to a modern standard and features a walk-in rainfall shower for relaxed morning routines.

  • Outside

    Surrounded by open countryside and woodland, Cruwys Cote enjoys a peaceful outdoor setting with uninterrupted views across the private estate. Beneath a timber pergola, the hot tub provides a tranquil spot to unwind, whether soaking under open skies during the day or stargazing after dark.

    A stone patio hosts a bistro table for two, perfect for alfresco breakfasts or candlelit suppers, while a chiminea adds warmth and atmosphere as evenings draw in. Although the immediate garden is not enclosed, guests have access to 60 acres of completely private, non-active farmland and woodland, offering endless space to roam, explore and enjoy total seclusion, with no neighbouring properties or public access. The setting is wonderfully quiet, with birdsong and open skies replacing everyday noise. It is a space designed for slowing down, reconnecting with nature and enjoying uninterrupted time together, with no distractions.

Set on the rural fringes of Exmoor, Cruwys Cote is perfectly placed for discovering one of the South West’s most captivating landscapes. From winding river valleys to open moorland, the surrounding area offers a wealth of walking routes and scenic trails, with Exmoor also renowned for its dark skies and exceptional stargazing opportunities.

Horse riding experiences are available nearby, offering guided rides across the national park for all experience levels. A short drive brings you to the charming town of Dulverton, home to independent shops, seasonal markets and welcoming places to eat, including cosy pubs and riverside favourites.

For coastal exploration, the dramatic scenery of the South West Coast Path lies within easy reach, with characterful towns, clifftop walks and sweeping sea views providing a striking contrast to countryside life.
