The Old Cellar - Self-catering house in Devon
Luppitt, Nr Honiton, EX14 4SA, Devon
England,
Royaume-Uni
The cottage sits next to the owners' house but with its front door facing the other way. Your view is a truly wonderful bird-filled garden (including chickens) with wildlife ponds and meadows, then the pretty valley below. You're also on the site of the Otter Brewery, still a family-run business and Mary-Ann will leave you some beer to sample. You can take a tour of the brewery as well as their gin distillery.
Walk straight from the door onto the Blackdown Hills which is an AONB; paint, write, work if you must - there's a little summer house at the top of the garden with gorgeous views and plenty of quiet. You'll find basics in the little kitchen plus croissants, jam and biscuits.
On summer evenings you can eat outside in the garden while the mallards quack on the pond, or drive 15-minutes to Honiton for the family-run pub, The Holt, where as guests you'll get a discount on the gastro menu. You can sign up for a bread-making course or enjoy the hot tub.
