Cobblers Cottage

South Molton, Devon

Character part-thatched cottage sleeping 6 + travel cot

Unique character property with private heated swimming pool, sauna and hot tub.

Peaceful location, yet near the centre of this charming village, which nestles amid miles of glorious open countryside. Chosen by the BBC as the ideal location for its rural England period drama 'The Passion' the village has a thriving community  and the cottage is within walking distance of village store and local pub. Less than four miles from the market town amenities of South Molton, with its indoor pool, shops, pubs, restaurants and array of antiques stores. The renowned beauty spot at Landacre Bridge and splendour of Exmoor are within a very scenic 10 mile drive, and with the North Devon Link Road being just a mile from the village, the property is an ideal touring base from which to explore the entire region and glorious National Trust coastline.
