1 Bed in East Chilla (oc-o34984)

Set amidst scenic countryside with far‑reaching views, this charming cottage offers an idyllic rural escape for couples or solo travellers seeking peace and tranquillity in Devon. Guests can wander straight from the doorstep into 13 acres of private fields and woodland, relax by the lake with a good book, or even enjoy a quiet spot of fishing. The property has easy access to both the breathtaking sandy beaches of the North Coast and the dramatic landscapes of Dartmoor and its picturesque surrounding villages. Just 18 miles away lies the popular town of Bude, offering plenty of shops and eateries, a wide sandy beach, access to the scenic coastal path and a refreshing sea pool. Dartmoor National Park is only 13 miles away and is ideal for many outdoor pursuits, including hiking, cycling, climbing, wildlife watching and stargazing. For a nostalgic trip, hop on the Launceston Steam Railway 14 miles away. Alternatively, there are several National Trust properties within a 20-mile radius, such as the spectacular waterfall at Lydford Gorge and the water-powered forge at Finch Foundry.


Step into the entrance porch of this characterful property, where you can hang your coats on the rack and store your boots before moving through to the inviting open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. This warm and welcoming space offers the perfect blend of a rustic feel with contemporary creature comforts, ensuring an unforgettable stay. The hues in the decor and furnishings are calming, allowing you to fully relax into your stay. Spend a moment admiring the beautiful, exposed beams before heading over to sink into the lovely, large sofa. The open-plan space has been cleverly designed with the seating area taking centre space so you can curl up with a book or watch a movie on the Smart TV. To the right of the seating area is the compact kitchen, equipped with all the necessary appliances to whip up a lazy late brunch or a romantic dinner for two. The dining table is thoughtfully placed, with a feature mirror above it, making this feel like a place to linger over meals. Straight ahead from the porch is a contemporary shower room with a WC. Head up the open-tread wooden stairs to reach a delightful king-size bedroom and wake up to charming country views. The room boasts a balcony with outdoor seating, making it an ideal spot for a morning coffee while taking in the serene surroundings.


In addition to the private balcony, guests can enjoy a spacious patio area complete with outdoor seating and a BBQ. Wander through the surrounding fields, passing the friendly alpacas and horses in their enclosed paddocks, before heading down to the lake - perfect for a picnic, sundowners by the fire pit, or simply soaking up the tranquillity of nature.
