Great Torrington 3.8 miles. This beautifully converted barn is attached to the owner’s 200-year old farmhouse, set within the quiet rural hamlet of Huntshaw, near Great Torrington in North Devon. Surrounded by paddocks and gently rolling Devon meadows, this charming cottage provides a touch of luxury and perfect peace for a relaxing holiday. The floor-to-ceiling windows provide plenty of light and wonderful views of the countryside and the underfloor heating makes the property warm and cosy underfoot, all year round. The kitchen has traditional slate flooring, and the dining area in the sitting room faces the picture windows, providing the perfect spot for a long breakfast whilst preparing plans for the day ahead. After an afternoon exploring this wonderful area of Devon, the bedroom with king-size bed and garden views, and luxurious en-suite wet room, provides a welcome retreat to retire to. Guests will enjoy stepping through the French doors onto a peaceful, private patio, which is often bathed in sunshine, and planted carefully with colourful shrubs and flowers. Walks are plentiful in this area of Devon, the Tarka Trail being a particular favourite, a 180-mile route through the stunning scenery of North Devon with some magnificent viewpoints along the way. Whilst staying, investigate the Civil War town of Great Torrington, and the famous Dartington Glass factory or the elegant carriages at Arlington Court, RHS Rosemoor, and many more wonderful gardens. The sandy beaches at Westward Ho! and Instow are fifteen minutes' drive away, as is the historic, sloping harbour village of Clovelly, or alternatively why not take a day cruise to Lundy Island where you may see puffins, seabirds, basking sharks and seals? After an action-packed day, Pound Cottage assures you of a peaceful and welcoming retreat to return to.

Reviews
We stayed at Pound Cottage in March, a beautiful conversion attached to the owners property. Welcomed by the owner Jenny who showed us around. And introduced our little Cockapoo, Janey, to the beautiful garden which she loved. The bathroom was lovely, bed extremely comfortable probably too much. Every thing was perfect and relaxing. Even our little dog refused to hop into our car for the journey home, she was cosy where she was. Thank you Jenny.
Pound Cottage is a beautiful cottage set in pretty tranquil surroundings, and the owner is a wonderful helpful lady with a vast knowledge of the area. We had a lovely restful break.
The owner was very friendly and made us feel at home. We liked the open countryside and the quietness of the place. We had been to this property 3 years previously but had forgotten until we arrived at the front door, so it was a very pleasant surprise.
One of the best, it deserves more stars.
A great place to stay. The owner was very helpful and the cottage was very clean and welcoming.
It was excellent in every way. The underfloor heating in all areas was an added plus factor and the wet room was especially good.
Simply the best in all respects. Our host was extremely helpful. We would not hesitate to recommend Pound Cottage. We shall certainly be back.
The views to the west across the garden and paddock were magnificent, the cottage was extremely comfortable, and the owner was most helpful.
