The details
Straw Cottage is far more than a place to stay. This extraordinary handcrafted retreat has been lovingly designed and built by artists and makers, resulting in a truly one-of-a-kind escape where striking architecture, vibrant colours and beautiful craftsmanship come together to create an unforgettable stay. Every corner has been thoughtfully considered, inviting you to slow down, switch off and immerse yourself in a home that's as inspiring as it is relaxing.
At the heart of the cottage sits the original straw bale building, where soaring vaulted ceilings and a stunning open-plan layout create a wonderfully light and welcoming space. Rich colours, bespoke joinery, stained-glass windows and handcrafted furnishings give the interiors real personality, while the cosy wood burner makes this the perfect place to curl up after a day exploring the Devon coast. The bespoke kitchen is fully equipped for preparing everything from lazy breakfasts to relaxed evening feasts, while the dining area provides the ideal setting for lingering conversations over great food and a favourite bottle of wine.
A handcrafted staircase leads to a charming mezzanine snug overlooking the living space below. Whether you're settling in with a good book, enjoying a quiet morning coffee or simply admiring the remarkable craftsmanship throughout the cottage, it's a peaceful spot that encourages you to slow the pace.
The spectacular timber A-frame extension is home to the beautifully designed bedroom, where a luxurious king size bed sits beneath a huge stargazing roof light. Drift off beneath a blanket of stars before waking to the ever-changing light of the Devon sky. Natural timber, carefully selected artwork and rich, warming tones create a wonderfully intimate atmosphere that feels both luxurious and deeply relaxing.
French doors open directly from the bedroom into your own private garden sanctuary. Here you'll discover a wood-clad hot tub waiting for long evening soaks, a hanging hammock chair that's perfect for lazy afternoons and a fire pit for cosy evenings spent beneath the stars. Surrounded by greenery and complete privacy, it's an idyllic outdoor space that feels wonderfully connected to the cottage itself.
The contemporary bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower, blending sleek modern comforts with the handcrafted character found throughout the rest of the property.
Although it feels wonderfully tucked away, Straw Cottage is perfectly positioned for discovering some of North Devon's finest attractions. Wander the cobbled streets of the picturesque fishing village of Clovelly, spend sunny days on the golden sands at Westward Ho!, or explore the peaceful estuary village of Instow with its excellent cafés and waterside views. The rugged South West Coast Path offers spectacular walks in every direction, while nearby Bucks Mills provides hidden coves and dramatic coastal scenery. Whether you're seeking scenic adventures, fantastic local food or simply peaceful moments by the sea, this beautiful corner of Devon has something to delight every visitor.
