Sarah & Paul
'The Cottage' is a Grade II listed thatched property dating back to the 17th Century so circulating around the 1600, with much history behind it. Situated in the village of Sampford Courtenay with the Grade II listed 'New Inn' pub just across the road, a 5 second walk which serves excellent food!
Hi, myself and my partner have been operating 'self catering holiday let's' for 6 years now, when we moved down from Essex in December 2017
Sampford Courtenay is very central where you are only an hours drive from the South and North coasts, half hour in the car to Exeter City Central, and 1 hour to Plymouth. Okehampton Town is only 4.5 miles away where you have all your restaurants and pubs and supermarkets.
