Downe Cottages are private luxury cottages with an excellent leisure facility attached (spacious gym and spa plus a reading room) all located in the heart of the North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The location is wonderful with views over the Ocean to the West and up to Lundy Island to the North. Surrounded by fields and woods, Downe is the perfect location for a relaxing holiday away from the hustle and bustle of the 21st Century - Downe provides the perfect retreat. The space Honeysuckle is a luxury one bedroom self catering holiday cottage. It forms part of a two storey "L" shaped farm building built just after the Napoleonic Wars which we converted into four cottages. The conversion works were truly a labour of love and the cottages reflect that. The downstairs floor is a mixture of Chinese and African slates and provide a beautiful palette of browns and greys and reds. The pine stairs were made on site by local craftsman and includes a built in pine stair gate for young children at the top of the stairs. (Honeysuckle stairs are particularly lovely and reflect a cabinet makers skill.) Honeysuckle is spacious (57 sq. m.) and has a lovely beamed bedroom with French windows looking out to across the courtyard at Downe and past Jasmine Cottage to the Atlantic. Downstairs there is a particularly spacious and light open plan living, dining and kitchen area. The kitchen is fully equipped (dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave, integrated oven, ceramic hob, washer / dryer, crockery, cutlery, pans and glassware etc), The dining area has a reclaimed pine dining table and chairs. The lounge area has two two seater sofas, coffee table, two sideboards, a log burner, 32" digital television with DVD player and a log burner. Four large windows amen the downstairs living area particularly light and airy. Upstairs there is a beamed bedroom with a 5' double bed and an ensuite shower room. The bedroom has two bedside tables and a chest of drawers plus a built in wardrobe. Outside there is a seating area on Chinese and African slates with cast iron and wooden garden table and chairs which look out into an inner courtyard shared by the four cottages. The cottage is situated in seven acres of grounds and gardens and there is covered parking for all cars in an old farm building. Visitors are able to use the Gym and Spa facilities located on site.
