The Cattle Shed

5-Star, Devon Country Cottage With a Hot Tub. Sleeps 4.

Discover the charm of a holiday cottage in South Devon at The Cattle Shed. This idyllic retreat offers a five-star luxury experience, perfect for those seeking a divine getaway. Unwind under the stars in a private hot tub or take a refreshing dip in the nearby lake. The view of fields stretching down to Start Bay adds to the tranquillity, and if that's not enough, scenic walks, village pubs, coastal scenery, historic towns, and a relaxing bath await just beyond your doorstep.

In winter, the appeal remains, with the warmth emanating from beautifully handcrafted light fittings creating a cosy ambience. The log burner flickers away, and the hot tub retains its allure even on a cold, crisp day, providing a fantastic haven from everyday life.
