Pippinsands is a big country cottage sleeping 14, tucked away in the Devon hills, with a private hot tub in the garden. The cottage is full of charm and character, the peace and quiet and glorious views make a wonderful backdrop for family holidays and celebrations.

Step into the flagstone hallway where to the left an inner hall leads to the snug and the large kitchen. The kitchen is a lovely sociable space with a central island and a big walk-in pantry; in the adjoining dining room a chunky handmade table sets the scene for birthday or anniversary feasts with your nearest and dearest.

Off the inner hall is the integral annexe, great for a couple who like to have their own space or for elderly grandparents who prefer an earlier bedtime. It has a kitchen/dining room, a small living room and Bedroom 6 with zip and link beds and an ensuite wet room.

Right of the main hall is the drawing room, a long light and airy room with original oak floorboards. To one end there’s a huge inglenook fireplace with a user-friendly woodburner, to the other is a local stone fireplace (not in use). In between are big fat sofas and chairs for you to put your feet up, play games, have a movie night; the kind of things that family holidays are made of.

Upstairs a long landing runs the length of the house. Straight ahead is Bedroom 1, with zip and link beds, and an ensuite shower room; next along is Bedroom 2, again with zip and link beds and use of the family bathroom just next door, which has a P bath with overhead shower. Then there’s Bedroom 3, with zip and link beds and down at the end, Bedroom 4 with a king size bed and an ensuite WC. These bedrooms all have an outlook over the front garden; start the day with a cup of tea in bed and watch squirrels scampering on the lawn. Zip and link beds can be arranged as super kings or twins.

Across the landing, at the back of the house is Bedrooms 6, a good family suite with two interlinking rooms and a shared shower room. One room has a double bed, the other, two singles. All bedrooms are unruffled and restful, and have original built-in wardrobe space.

In the large private garden at the front of the house there’s a hot tub and plenty of room for the little ones to run about and play. Beyond are 15 acres of ground to explore, open fields with glorious views across the Otter Valley; take a picnic down to the River Luv, have a paddle. You'll also have use of a play area and the on-site games room, which has a pool table, table football and table tennis*.
