Meadow Sweet Cottage, East Hook, Okehampton, Devon

Meadow Sweet Cottage is a charming converted stone and cob barn, located just one mile from the A30 near the market town of Okehampton, right in the heart of Devon. Surrounded by peaceful fields and farmland, the area offers plenty of opportunities for walking and cycling, including the renowned 31-mile Tarka Trail and the scenic Abbeyford and Hook Woods.

This self-catering cottage provides an ideal retreat for couples and families alike. The spacious sitting room is well-appointed with a flat-screen TV, a DVD player, and a collection of information on local attractions, walking routes, cycling trails, and recommendations for sampling Devon’s finest local produce. The traditional kitchen is fully equipped with an electric cooker, microwave, and fridge freezer, and welcomes guests with a basket of fresh local produce to start their stay. The kitchen leads to a bright and airy dining room, while a downstairs shower room and toilet offer added convenience.

Upstairs, the cottage comfortably accommodates 2 to 4 guests. The main bedroom features a double bed with lovely countryside views, while the cosy twin room offers charming vistas across the valley toward Okehampton and Dartmoor. A cot is also available upon request. The bathroom includes a bathtub with an overhead shower, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.

Meadow Sweet Cottage’s location is ideal for discovering both the rugged beauty of North Devon and the softer, picturesque South Devon Coast. To the north, you can explore the dramatic coastline from Hartland and the cobbled village of Clovelly to the sandy beaches of Instow, Saunton, and Woolacombe, all the way up to Lynton and Lynmouth, the gateway to Exmoor National Park. In contrast, the South Devon Coast offers lively harbours like Dartmouth and Torquay, perfect for a more relaxed coastal experience.

Closer to home, Dartmoor National Park is right on your doorstep, providing endless opportunities to enjoy Devon’s natural beauty. From exploring the park’s rugged rocky tors to spotting wild ponies and relaxing in traditional local pubs, there is something for everyone. The historic market towns of Tavistock and Hatherleigh are also within easy reach, offering a glimpse of Devon’s rich heritage. Picturesque thatched cottages, rolling landscapes, and the famous Devon cream teas add to the area’s charm, making Meadow Sweet Cottage the perfect base for exploring everything this beautiful region has to offer.
