Cosy cottage in the Blackdown hills, Devon

4 guests · 2 bedrooms · 2 beds · 2 bathrooms

A very warm welcome to our our cosy 2 bedroom holiday cottage nestled in the heart of the Blackdown Hills an area of outstanding natural beauty. This newly converted barn is welcoming and is furnished to a high standard with everything you need for a memorable holiday. Spacious open plan layout with well equipped kitchen area leading through to a comfortable lounge/dining area. Both bedrooms are ensuite and there is also a downstairs cloakroom. There is one king size bedroom with Juliet balcony overlooking open fields and the other bedroom contains a zip and link bed which can be configured as a king or 2 small singles (this bed will be set up as singles unless specifically requested otherwise). Private parking at the front and private courtyard garden with bbq (please note that charcoal is not provided and the bbq is available for use from april to october, unless specifically requested) and table and chairs at the rear. There is also a 6 person hot tub, incorporating 4 seats and 2 loungers, with views across the fields to the woodland beyond. Please note that we do not allow parties and as this is a destination for people to relax and recharge, we ask that noise is kept to a minimum after 10pm. We are a rural location and wifi can sometimes be slow/intermittent. Please note that the garden is not fully fenced at the rear, but is roped off only. With such close proximity to nature it is likely that you will hear the nightly chorus of owls and see deer roaming in the fields. You can enjoy amazingly clear views of the night sky. Please note that there are 3 steps leading down from the cottage to the garden area. Also the property is situated in fields next to a working sheep farm and so unfortunately, we cannot accept pets. Within the grounds we have friendly chickens and at your request, freshly laid eggs can be provided on arrival. The nearest village, Dunkeswell is a 5 minute drive where you will find a well equipped grocery shop, Indian restaurant, bar and fish and chip shop. Dunkeswell airfield is situated at 839 feet above sea level making it the highest licensed airfield in the UK. The airfield is open to visitors throughout the year and offers 15000ft tandom skydives for thrill seekers! Contact us for further details of how to book ahead of your visit. The market town of Honiton is a 10 minute drive, offering numerous bars, restaurants and supermarkets, antique shops and boutiques. The beautiful Jurassic Coast is a short drive away, approx 30 minutes. Other local activities include Yarak Bird of Prey experience, Diggerland, and The Bear Trail , Devon muddiest family assault course so plenty to keep the kids occupied! This cottage can be booked with our other cottage, Piglet Cottage, which is a 3 bedroom, to accomodate larger groups, at reduced rates. We shall also have our new dog friendly fully fenced cottage, Piggy in the Middle available in the new year, should you want to bring your furry friend along! All details available at Old Highwood Holiday cottages. As a self-catering cottage, you'll find everything you need for a perfect stay.

Great find, went for a Mother’s Day relax with my wife and two daughters. Perfect. The place was spotless and the host had invested a huge amount of time, effort and money in making it perfect! Definitely be back!

Very communicative, welcoming & kind host. Clean Airbnb. Lovely building. Hot tub clean. Lovely quiet location. Thank you! For price paid, would expect improved ‘extra’s’ such as shampoo/conditioner & soaps in both the showers & upmarket linens/towels.

Dislocated shoulder due to slipping/falling on the moss/algae that covers the whole outside flooring. Also had no internet as it was ‘down’ though nobody let us know,we had to reach out after hours of bored children with no internet, which meant the tv didn’t work either and I also couldn’t access the internet which was vital, especially with my daughter. My daughter of 8, is terminally ill with a rare type of leukaemia JMML and was the odd time this year to take our little girl away before contracting another illness to fight off, and the trip wasn’t a great experience and not worth £314. As I couldn’t resolve the issue with the host, I’ve had to now contact air bnb. Major health and safety risk, and I’m glad it wasn’t either one of my children that had fallen outside.

Fab cottage in quiet location with horses and sheep and a lovely host.

Lovely host. Very clean. Fab jacuzzi. Perfect stop off we needed.

Larger, newer towels would be the only change I’d advise.

our stay at the cottage was unforgettable. From the gorgeous aesthetic to the thoughtful touches, it was one of a kind. Julie, our host, was always on hand and gave us some lovely recommendations for our visit, as well as being so accommodating with late check out! if I could give Hogs End 6 stars I would! Thank you for having us!

Perfect spot, lovely hosts & super sleep

The attention to detail- we have two young girls who loved the rabbits in their rooms for example

Nothing- it was all super. Oh - maybe bigger towels

The owner was lovely! Super friendly & helpful. The place was BEAUTIFUL. Absolutely spotless - I’ve never seen such a clean property - it looked as though we were the first people to stay there (even though I know we weren’t). Would recommend to anyone! And will be coming back to visit in summer 10000% Myself and 2 other mums came for a child free relaxing weekend and that’s exactly what we had! Thanks for such a great stay!

The property was absolutely lovely. We have enjoyed our stay there so much. Everything you need is there and more. The host Julie was very helpful and welcoming. Would definitely recommend it and return again.

There’s no network signal and Wi-Fi wouldn’t always work.

Lovely cottage on a sheep farm A very peaceful surroundings in the countryside, clean and cosy with all the amenities needed for our stay. The cottage is new, spacious and tastefully decorated. Our host Julie was available when we checked in to show us the hot tub which was ready for our arrival. There are restaurants a short drive away, the town of Honiton is just 10min away with shops and amenities. We absolutely loved our stay at Hog End and we would most definitely recommend it. Everything was perfect.
