Ridge Cottage

About this property

Parracombe 3.9 miles. Located just outside the tranquil village of Bratton Fleming near Parracombe in Devon, discover this charming reverse-level cottage, Ridge Cottage. Boasting original beams and characterful features throughout, a woodburning stove and well-equipped with all the self-catering essentials, Ridge Cottage welcomes four guests and their four-legged friend. Cross the threshold into a spacious kitchen/diner and allow the designated chef of the group to become acquainted with a range of appliances before rustling up a tasty feast; settle down at the dining table to enjoy supper over a bottle of wine, as the warming woodburning stove crackles away alongside you.

If the weather permits, why not make use of the neat, enclosed garden and indulge in an afternoon tipple alfresco-style, planning for the days ahead with pretty landscape as your backdrop. When the stars appear, ascend the staircase to a first-floor sitting room and curl up in front of the Smart TV, ready to savour some light entertainment with your loved ones close. Wash away the day in the ground-floor bathroom and complete your evening routine before retiring to one of two lovely ground-floor bedrooms including a king-size and a twin. Treat your loved ones to a day at the Zoo at Exmoor Zoological and Conservation Centre, sure to excite animal lovers and residing only paces away from the property!

Travel into the Exmoor National Park for an array of things to see and do included Combe Martin Museum, Heddon Valley, Valley of Rocks and Blacklands Beach, boasting crystal blue water and far-reaching views across the coast. Journey to Barnstaple for an abundance of pubs, restaurants and cafes including Giovanni’s, Claytons and The Glasshouse and Latitude 48, where you can treat your loved ones on the days you don’t feel like cooking. Here you can also enjoy the Museum of Barnstaple and North Devon or take a stroll along Barnstaple Long Bridge. For a memorable escape with friends or family in Devon, book a stay at Ridge Cottage.

You may find miles of heather-covered moorland, forested valleys, and crystal-clear trout streams in and around Parracombe. If you're lucky, you may also see red deer and Exmoor ponies. Take pictures of the moor's transition to the sea. Admire the imposing cliffs and rocky coves. There are also accessible both inland and on the coast guided Exmoor ranger walks. Combe Martin is located where the Exmoor National Park and the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty converge. This small seaside town has all the amenities it needs, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists. It also has its own own Dinosaur Park! Visit Golden Cove by taking the 230 secret steps down for some breathtaking views. Combe Martin, which is along the South West Coast Path, has a number of dog-friendly bars and neighbourhood shops that are perfect for supplies.
