A glass of wine and a dip in the hot tub is a must.
The open plan living area is delightful.
Steps lead up to the mezzanine 'snug' with limited headspace owing to being in the eaves.
Straw Cottage in all its glory, the perfect getaway whatever the time of year.
The lovely large garden is all yours.
The bedroom is complete with a king-size double bed.
Cosy up on the sofa.

The gorgeous shelving was hand-crafted by the artist/blacksmith owners.

A dip in the bubbling hot tub is a must, what better way to relax.
The forged metalwork was cleverly designed/made by one of the owners and adds to the charm.

So much outside space to enjoy.

I would recommend Straw cottage to guests, I had it to myself and my 2 dogs but it would make an ideal couples retreat. The garden has a hot tub, fire pit, table and chairs and and a grassed area to relax in. There is a beautiful metalwork door to the cottage and it has a lot of lovely touches in the cottage that are wooden and some metal work sculptures too, In the village near by there is a lovely pub the Butchers Arms and a shop. The village is nearby to a lot of lovely places to visit on the Devon coast and some amazing beaches. The other glamping yurts and tents in the grounds are really lovely and each one seems private to enjoy the surroundings. An amazing and relaxing place to be....

We had a really lovely 3 night stay at the Straw Cottage. The place is really pretty and cosy and was perfect for a couples getaway. We loved the hot tub, and had a great time just chilling by the fire with a glass of wine and cooking nice meals in the kitchen. Would absolutely love to go back and would recommend!...

Nice cottage and is located in a peaceful location and is a central location to explore North Devon and the cottage was well equipped with everything that you need and a large garden for the dog , but not enclosed.
