Shillings Cottage

This pretty flint cottage and outdoor pool sits on a gentle hillside, surrounded by gardens, an orchard and meadows rich with abundant wildlife. The cottage is detached and set away from the owners property. Lying within the folds of the beautiful Blackdown Hills which rise between the North and South coasts of Devon and near the border with Somerset, these hills are criss-crossed with a network of quiet public footpaths and are designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

A little gem hidden in the most beautiful surroundings, we could be anywhere in the world. Peace and quiet, two coastlines within easy reach, and a gorgeous pool to enjoy, the perfect holiday. The cottage is clean and comfortable, ideal for couples. The owner is the most lovely lady, helpful and very welcoming.

Early morning swims...

"A haven of beauty in the English Countryside! Idyllic setting and a very warm and welcoming host. We had a lovely week exploring the countryside and early morning swims in the pool. It was a perfect and a very restorative break!"

Things to do

Short walk into the village...

"Short walk into the village & half hours drive from north or south coastlines. A little cold in October to try the swimming pool, but would be great in the summer! Lovely host, couldn't be happier!!"
