So Quirky and cosy. A wealth of traditional features with beams and an inglenook. Two bedrooms sleeping 3 people with a shower room also on the first floor. The lounge is cosy with tv and a dining area and the kitchen is fitted with everything you could possible need. To the rear there is a raised garden with seating area. Parking is to the front of the property. Situated in the village of North Molton it is an ideal base to explore the area. There are views with stunning scenery across Exmoor with pretty villages, the wild moor and spectacular coastal scenery. There is an abundance of wild life which includes Exmoor ponies and red deer. Excellent walking with miles of walking routes on the moor or along the many rivers. One famous walk is from the next village of Withypool to Tarr Steps, a 1000 year old clapper bridge. North Devon has a wealth of stunning scenery with its many open gardens, splendid beaches and countryside. The coastal drive between Porlock and Lynton boasts the highest cliffs in England. Another famous place is the Lorna Doone Valley with its steep Coombes and deep valleys. The wild moor with the Exmoor Ponies, red deer and Eagles are not to be missed. There is a great pub within a 5 minute walk of the cottage which serves award winning food and is dog friendly. The village community shop is handy for daily needs. South Molton a ten minute drive has many boutique shops and Tea rooms with a splendid market on Thursdays and Saturdays. Barnstable is a 30 minute drive with high street shops and supermarkets. The beaches of Ilfracombe and Bude are within an hours drive. Most Tea Rooms and pubs are dog friendly which is why one small dog is welcome. Booking is a minimum of two nights but I would suggest a few more nights are needed to really appreciate the wonder of what there is to offer ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Books - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 25 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near a zoo ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - 100% renewable energy - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Garden - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Property does not allow children - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 323 square feet ## Similar properties ![Toaster](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100230000/100224700/100224605/w3840h2561x0y1-fbb082d6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hawkings Hideaway Knowstone Knowstone - Hot tub - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=100224605&PinnedHotelID=100224605&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 13 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs only 1 total (up to 25 kg per pet) ### Children and extra beds This property does not allow children ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).
