Description: Daisy Cottage is a newly renovated 2 bedroom barn conversion nestling in a sheltered valley with beautiful views. Tucked away down a pretty Devon lane in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this is the perfect location for a quiet get away from it all holiday in any season. The ground floor provides a light and airy open-plan living area with a newly fitted kitchen, dining table and a lounge area with cosy wood burner. Full height windows extend the living space, opening out onto a south-facing patio and graveled courtyard that provide the perfect suntrap from which to enjoy a morning cup of tea or al-fresco dining. The modern bathroom includes a shower over the bath and under floor heating. Upstairs there are two comfortable bedrooms with exposed beams and stripped wood floors, reflecting the character of the original building. The single bedroom has plenty of space for an additional folding bed and a cot that can be supplied on request. The cottage faces south-west and so is in the sun for most of the day. It is extremely well insulated keeping it cool in summer and warm in winter.

The World Heritage Jurassic Coast is just 6 miles away. From the gate, head in any direction and you will find yourself travelling down one of the characteristic narrow winding lanes leading to traditional villages of Devon cob and thatch.
