In a typical steep-sided Devon coastal valley that’s virtually untouched by the modern world (a watermill has been here since medieval times though this one was built in 1754). There’s a whole valley to explore, great for free-range kids – woods, orchard, meadows, & the Gara Brook for paddling, damming, or for pooh sticks or home-made rafts & pirate ships. Freedom to play with imagination away from TV and mobiles. There’s no light pollution so the star-gazing is heavenly. It’s doggy heaven – plenty of walks from your cottage door & almost no traffic, only the postman passing through. Green lane walks from your cottage door and plenty of dog-friendly cafes, pubs, shops and restaurants locally. Dogs are £25 per dog per stay. Please keep dogs under close control around the cottage grounds as we have free-range poultry and there is livestock in the area. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Soap ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games ### Outdoor areas - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the bay - Near the sea - On a river ### Things to do - Table tennis - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Electric car charging station - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90900000/90895800/90895730/c8a45772.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 18th Century Streamside Cottage 10 min from the beach!
