Luxury
amongst tranquillity! In the heart of unspoilt
Tarka country, (from Henry Williamson's "Tarka the Otter")
Bartridge Cottage is ideally situated to explore the rolling
landscape of Exmoor, the deep wooded valleys, rugged coastline,
sandy beaches, pretty villages or bustling seaside towns.
The cottage is set in its own tranquil location next to the
farmhouse amongst farmland on the side of the Taw valley.
Approached along a private lane that winds its way up from
the River Taw below to its commanding viewpoint on the side
of the valley, it provides spectacular views for many miles
around. Buzzards, deer, badgers, rabbits, foxes, owls, bats
and kingfishers are amongst a number of animals that are local
inhabitants.
It is without a doubt set in some of the
most beautiful countryside in Britain. The cottage and pool
were imaginatively restored in 1992 from 17th century stone
barns, retaining original features such as oak beams but
with the benefit of modern comforts.
The cottage is ideal for a family
of four, however, the provision of the single bed and/or
cot in the main bedroom allows up to 5 to be comfortably
accommodated. Barnstaple, South Molton and Torrington (including
Dartington Crystal and RHS Rosemoor gardens) are all only
a short drive away with Exmoor and the famous sandy beaches
of Saunton, Croyde and Woolacombe beyond. There are three
full size golf courses within a 15 minute drive. e mail us at bartridge@tiscali.co.uk
