Grandma's Cottage in lovely Mid-Devon. Great for an autumn countryside escape.

Set midway between the south and the north coasts of Devon and a short drive away from the Blackborough Hills, Dartmoor and Exmoor, the village of Uffculme is a great spot for a relaxing countryside break. It's also within easy reach of the many other attractions that Devon has to offer, being just a few minutes away from J27 of the M5 and close to Tiverton Parkway, a mainline railway station on the Exeter/Bristol & Exeter/London Paddington lines.

YOUR COMFORTABLE & COZY LAUNCH-PAD

Our cottage has everything you'll need for a comfortable stay. As well as the fully equipped kitchen diner there is a sweet little suntrap of a kitchen garden with table, chairs, umbrella and BBQ for those Al-Fresco evenings. The garden has a side entrance (and store should you bring bicycles). The snug has a Smart TV and stereo which you can Bluetooth to. The main bedroom has a king-size bed which can be divided to make two 3 foot singles. The second bedroom has a double. There are 2 bathrooms too - one with a bath, the other with a shower, and both with loos!

Whether you want to explore in a car, walk or cycle, there's so much to do. Fancy a bite? There are plenty of great pubs, restaurants and cafés nearby - some within walking distance.
