Details about  A weeks self catering holiday in North Devon - 15th Oct

Originally built in 1882 as a barn for Southcott Farm, Ashmoor was converted in the 1990’s to a high specification, using many natural materials.  It now offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.  Ashmoor is part of an 11 acre working smallholding, which is home to llamas, pygmy goats, chickens, cats and dogs. The self catering holiday cottage is set in a pretty courtyard with two other properties; it has its own fully enclosed rear garden with far reaching views across the North Devon countryside towards Dartmoor.

Ashmoor is approached over a level gravel drive, where there is dedicated parking for one car and plenty of room for additional vehicles if required. The front door opens into the hall way, with all rooms leading off.  There is a large living room with vaulted ceiling and original beams, a stone fireplace with wood burner, two comfortable sofas, large HD television with freeview and DVD player. The kitchen/diner is fully equipped with electric ceramic hob cooker, microwave oven, dishwasher, fridge freezer and extending dining table with four chairs.  A glazed door leads to the garden where there is a decking area with patio furniture, barbecue and views across the rolling North Devon countryside.

The master bedroom has a king size bed with matching pine bed side tables and drawers.  The window overlooks the gardens, llama paddocks and the North Devon countryside beyond.  The spacious second bedroom has two large single beds with matching pine bedside tables, drawers and dressing table. There is plenty of room to put a travel cot.  The bathroom has a bath with Mira power shower over, low level wc, vanity basin with pine cupboards over and a large pine cupboard housing the washing machine. In the hallway there is a large walk in wardrobe with plenty of hanging space and shelves above.

All the beds will be made up with co-ordinating bed linen prior to your arrival and plenty of bath towels will be provided, however, we do ask that you bring your own beach towels.  We will provide you with a welcome pack to include tea, coffee, sugar, milk, bread, butter and juice, as well as those little essentials like loo rolls, tissues, soap and washing up liquid. We will provide the first basket of logs for the wood burner free of charge but any further logs will incur a charge of £5 per basket.

We welcome dogs to our cottage, but make an extra £10 charge per dog!

Our aim is to make this self-catering holiday cottage a real home from home and our guests are welcome to wander through the gardens and grounds, but as there is livestock in the paddocks and chickens free range in the gardens, we ask that you keep dogs on leads whilst outside of Ashmoor’s enclosed rear garden.  We encourage families to help with feeding the animals mornings and evenings, more details about times etc will be posted in the cottage.
