Quintin Cottage, Landkey, is a charming detached retreat nestled in a picturesque village setting within walking distance of local amenities. The spacious kitchen/diner forms the heart of this delightful home, offering an oven, hob, microwave, fridge / freezer, and dishwasher – everything needed for preparing delicious family feasts. Two inviting living spaces await; the primary lounge features deep sofas, a Smart TV, and a wood burner in a large corner fireplace, while the second creates a cosy retreat with another wood burner and entertainment options.
Step outside through the kitchen's patio doors to discover a generous outdoor haven, complete with a decked area featuring seating, sun loungers, and a BBQ. Beyond stretches a lush lawn with a sunken trampoline and charming treehouse – a paradise for little adventurers. Upstairs, three beautifully appointed bedrooms await: a king-size with en-suite shower room, a comfortable double, and a twin, complemented by a family bathroom with both bath and shower options.
Imagine waking to birdsong filtering through the windows, brewing morning coffee in the light-filled kitchen while planning the day's adventures. As evening falls, gather around the crackling wood burner, sharing tales of beach explorations before retreating to the garden, where children's laughter echoes from the treehouse as you relax with a glass of something special on the sun-drenched deck.

The magnificent Castle Hill Estate in Filleigh (9 km) offers 50 acres of enchanting landscape surrounding a beautiful 18th-century Palladian house, while North Devon Falconry in Newton Tracey (9 km) provides exhilarating displays and hands-on sessions with majestic birds of prey.

Woolacombe (27 km), with its award-winning beach regularly topping “Best in Britain” lists, offers both family-friendly spaces and year-round dog-friendly areas for four-legged companions.
