The cottage sits within a wider farmland estate, surrounded by unspoiled woodland, but enjoys its own private garden with a sun-trap patio area, ideal for long summer nights of dining alfresco around the garden table. Play head chef and fire up the gas barbie and make the most of local produce from Lifton Farm Shop.
The icing on the cake, however, is the four-seater hot tub. Start the bubbles, pop some prosecco, sit back and unwind for a long night under wide-open sky – the stars look great from here – or simply admire the far-reaching views of the Devon countryside. Don’t worry about muddy shoes when you venture off exploring the local landscape; there is an outdoor porch large enough to store bicycles, boots and mucky kids wellies.
You won’t be short on comfort at Tamaris Barn Cottage, in fact, you’ll feel right at home on the vast squishy sofas flicking through Freeview on the large flat screen. Or raid the DVD stash for a Friday night movie. Or connect phones to the wifi and scroll away. The choice is yours.
The stylish space is open-plan with the dining area, fitted with a sleek dining table big enough for the whole party. The dining area leads onto the separate farm-house chic kitchen, featuring exposed beams and additional seating. In the morning, set yourselves up for a fun-filled day with croissants, coffee and orange juice at the breakfast bar.
In the evening, cooking up a storm should be easy in this well-equipped kitchen, featuring a 5-ring electric hob, large oven and fridge freezer. Once the dinner party is over, just load up the dishwasher and let it do the hard work for you whilst you unwind. Perhaps you’ll take yourselves out to the hot-tub to drink in the valley of trees, ponds and wide-open space?
Tamaris Barn Cottage sleeps four across two luxurious bedrooms, both with rustic exposed beams, soft grey carpets, crisp bedding and plush velvet accents. The master bedroom boasts a super king bed and its own en-suite with roll-top bath, perfect for unwinding, and a separate shower. Bedroom two has a zip and link bed, so can be made up to suit your party as either a twin or double bedroom, and its own en-suite shower room.
