There is something timeless and relaxing about staying in a country cottage in Devon. Surrounded by rolling countryside, ancient hedgerows and peaceful farmland, a Devon cottage holiday offers a chance to slow down and enjoy the beauty of rural England.
For visitors looking to escape busy cities and crowded resorts, the Devon countryside provides the perfect setting for a peaceful break.
The Charm of Devon’s Countryside
Devon is famous for its unspoilt landscapes. Quiet lanes wind through farmland and small villages, while dramatic moorland stretches across the horizon.
Many visitors choose to stay near Dartmoor National Park where wide open spaces, granite tors and scenic walking routes create one of the most beautiful landscapes in southern England.
Walking, cycling and wildlife watching are all popular activities in the area. The countryside offers something different in every season, from spring wildflowers to golden autumn landscapes.
A Slower Pace of Life
One of the joys of staying in a country cottage is the slower pace of life. Mornings might begin with coffee on the terrace while listening to birdsong, followed by a walk through quiet fields or nearby woodland.
Evenings can be spent enjoying the peaceful surroundings, watching the sunset over the countryside or visiting a traditional village pub.
The nearby town of Okehampton offers shops, cafés and access to many of the walking routes on Dartmoor.
Away from the hussle & bussle
Our properties in Sampford Courtenay benefit from the quiete of east devon away from the coast where things can get very busy. Yet you are only 35- 50 minutes from the coast.
Wildlife and Nature
The Devon countryside is rich in wildlife. Foxes, deer and birds of prey are often seen in fields and hedgerows, while owls can sometimes be spotted hunting at dusk.
For nature lovers, staying in a rural cottage provides the opportunity to experience the rhythms of the countryside and observe wildlife in its natural habitat.
