Discover rural bliss and coastal charm from this renovated farmland haven in South Devon

Withymore Cottage, Malborough, is a beautifully renovated retreat nestled alongside a working farm in the picturesque South Devon countryside. The inviting open-plan lounge / kitchen / diner forms the heart of this charming home, with the kitchen boasting all modern conveniences including an electric oven and hob, fridge / freezer, microwave, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. The homely lounge area offers comfortable seating for all guests around a cosy wood burner and Smart TV, while the dining space provides delightful garden views, creating an idyllic spot for family meals.

Step outside through the sliding glass doors to discover a wonderful south-facing garden, complete with a patio and raised lawn – perfect for soaking up the Devon sunshine. The cottage features three beautifully appointed bedrooms: a ground-floor king-size room, a first-floor king-size bedroom, and a twin zip-and-link room (which can be arranged as a super-king-size on request), both upstairs rooms overlooking the stunning garden with sweeping countryside views. Two bathrooms ensure comfort for all guests, with a ground-floor shower room and an upstairs bathroom featuring a shower over bath.

Imagine waking to the gentle sounds of rural life, enjoying your morning coffee on the sun-drenched patio as the countryside comes alive around you. Spend your days exploring the nearby coastal treasures before returning to your peaceful haven, where you can prepare a family feast in the well-equipped kitchen or fire up the gas BBQ for alfresco dining as the sun sets over the rolling Devon hills. As evening falls, gather around the crackling wood burner, sharing stories of the day's adventures.
