Woodland Cottage - Devon

Set in a quiet residential area of Bampton, this semi-detached cottage sleeps four guests across three first-floor bedrooms, two doubles and a single, with one bathroom (shower over bath and WC) and a ground-floor cloakroom. Up to three dogs are welcome, though additional charges may apply. Wi-Fi is included, but speed and connectivity can be intermittent due to the location, so plan ahead if reliable internet matters to your stay.

The open-plan lounge and dining area has a Smart TV and a dining table, with French doors that open onto a small enclosed courtyard. The kitchen is fully equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, coffee machine, dishwasher and washing machine. A hallway with space to hang coats and store shoes makes returning from muddy walks straightforward. All three bedrooms and the bathroom are on the first floor, so guests who need ground-floor sleeping should note the layout before booking.

Parking is provided off-road for one car at the property, with communal spaces nearby subject to availability. The enclosed courtyard, accessible from both the kitchen and the lounge, has garden furniture and suits a morning coffee or an evening drink. A travel cot, highchair and stairgates are available for families with young children.

Bampton sits a couple of miles from the Exmoor National Park boundary, giving ready access to moorland walking, wooded valleys and local riding stables. Wimbleball Lake is also within a few miles for fishing, water sports and nature trails. Independent shops and pubs are within walking distance, and Dulverton and Tiverton lie close by for a wider range of amenities.
