Nuthatch

Nuthatch is a single-storey cottage in Stockland, a village around six miles from Honiton. Guests park on a private driveway before stepping into an open-plan living space with a kitchen, dining area and sitting area, and the cottage sleeps 2 in a single king-size bedroom.

The king-size bedroom has an en-suite wet room with walk-in shower, basin, heated towel rail and WC. Only babies in arms are accepted alongside the two adults, so the cottage suits a couple rather than a family.

The kitchen has an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, coffee machine and a hairdryer, and a Smart TV, WiFi and a selection of books, games and DVDs cover evenings in. Electric heating runs throughout with fuel and power included in the rent, and a highchair is available.

Outside, an enclosed front courtyard has furniture and a private hot tub, reached by a few steps guests should take care on. Dogs are welcome (confirm how many when booking); the cottage does not accept dogs covered by the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, regardless of licence. Bookings require a minimum stay of 3 nights, and between June and September only weekly stays starting on a Saturday can be accommodated. The shop is 5.2 miles away and the pub 1.5 miles.
