Orient House. Idyllic, self-contained, rural, sleeps 4

A self-contained, South East Asian styled space in a pretty meadow surrounded by woodland and farmland. A double bedroom and a twin bedroom, a bathroom and an open plan kitchen and living space.

Ideally suited to two adults and two children, but many 4-adult parties have stayed and enjoyed the space.

Local walks, outdoor seating, pretty rural setting, yet only 2 miles from Exeter Cathedral, your own front door with dedicated parking. (For a maximum of 2 cars).

Set in lovely countryside, yet only 2 miles from Exeter Cathedral. Step out of your own dedicated front door into an idyllic setting of specimen trees in a meadow surrounded by woodland and farmland. The birdsong in our little woodland dip is simply magical.

One of only two self-contained properties on this picturesque rural site.

The small, self-contained cottage suite holds 3 beautifully presented areas comprising two bedrooms (1 double, one twin), an open plan living/kitchen area and a bathroom, with cute decor touches & characterful, quirky style...all in all it’s around 500 square feet.

The galley kitchenette area has a full oven, grill, 2 ring hob, slow cooker, soup maker, microwave, toaster, kettle, cafetière, fresh ground coffee, teas etc. There are hangers, drawers, plenty of free shelves, interesting books, local maps, toys, Lego, guide books, and good board games. Do just ask us for anything else you need!

3.1 miles to Sandy Park Rugby Stadium; 2.1 m to Exeter Cathedral; 2.2 miles to Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital; 3.1 miles to University of Exeter. Free, easy private dedicated parking right outside your front door. Bus stop just up the road - 10 minute walk to the bus stop for downtown Exeter. Beautiful rural hiking from the door.

Sehr aufmerksame, freundliche, zuvorkommende und hilfsbereite Gastgeber!
Idyllisch ländliche Lage in Stadtnähe, ideal zum Entspannen und als Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in die Umgebung.
