About this property

Escape to this charming, freshly refurbished, south facing cottage, part of an old hilltop Devon farm with far reaching views across rolling Devon countryside. It is far from busy roads and the stresses of every day life, yet the Atlantic coast is only 15 minutes drive away.

R.H.S. Rosemoor Garden is 4 miles away and has 65 magnificent acres of gardens to explore.
The Atlantic coast nearby has great surf as well as surf/kite surfing schools , miles of sandy beaches and the fabulous coastal pathway not to mention North Devon's own Hockings ice cream vans!
Inland there are the two National Parks ,Exmoor and Dartmoor both within easy reach for walks and out door adventures.
The Torridge River and estuary are well known for bird watching and fishing, there are also 9 golf courses in North Devon , the closest of which is 3 miles away (Torrington).

Find tranquillity roaming the ten acres of fields and woodland on the farm or simply relax in the private, enclosed, garden with a cup of tea and one of Torrington's famous Chelsea buns!

Fresh and bespoke, recently renovated, the cottage has character.

Shepherds Cottage in April

Had 6 nights at the Shepherds cottage, with 3 generations of the family. Despite the weather being mostly unkind we had a very relaxing time. Cosy and comfortable accommodation and great tips from the owners who were very helpful and friendly. Good location for exploring all north Devon has to offer. Had walks around the farm and enjoyed playing tennis with my 8 year old. Would definitely recommend for those looking to get away from it all.

Wonderful Hideaway

We had a wonderful stay in Shepherd’s Cottage. The property was well equipped with everything we needed for our 5 night stay. The beds were comfortable and overall the property had a cosy feel. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming. Not a noise to be heard but the birds and sheep. Car essential to travel about to visit the sights. We would definitely stay here again if we came back to North Devon.

Devon

Nice quite location, Cottage not up to standard, Kitchen units over stocked with glasses plates etc. Oven poor, One fixed shelf at the bottom, fridge we had to clean and kitchen area in general including the bin very dirty. Bathroom and bedroom ok, furniture not comfy in lounge, tennis court unusable due to being full of weeds. We expected better all round.

Tranquil and lovely

A truly delightful place to stay and wonderful hosts. Quiet, idyllic and not too far from some lovely attractions. You will share the house with many spiders. It's the countryside, this is to be expected. Just a word of caution for genuine arachnophobes. The sheep in the fields are good fun and seem like decent neighbaaaahs to have. Garden is definitely dog proof assuming your dog is relatively well behaved and doesn't feel the need to jump the waist high fence. Our puppy is guilty of being quite the magician, disappearing from our garden & over much higher fences. But at this property she seemed less inclined, we think she was intimidated by the sheep. We thoroughly recommend staying at this house, it's brilliant. We had an amazing time and wish we could have stuck around longer.

About the host

Hosted by Jenny and Alastair Bremner at the farm

We wanted to bring up our two children in the countryside. We love the sea and walking on the moors and were attracted to North Devon because of its away from it all feel. We like to support our local towns, Instow and Torrington which have all the shops we need and are very friendly. We all play music, Alastair -violin and flute, Jenny -cello and double bass , Cathy - piano and banjo and Jim - guitar and drums and have got to know lots of musicians locally.

Why they chose this property

The farm had been in the same family for many generations and when we discovered it nothing much had changed. We even found the old cooking pot which used to stand above the open fire! We fell in love straight away and the farm's renovation has given us a life long project ever since!

What makes this property unique

We love living on top of a hill , there's lots of light and big views. We are away from the coastal tourists yet close enough to decide to go for a quick swim in the evenings after work! Whenever we feel in need of culture our local lively art centre , The Plough, gives us live music/cinema/theatre etc so we have the best of both worlds. Also there are lots of cosy pubs serving real ale where we can go after our out door adventures!
