The Stable

Self catering - 2 Bedrooms - Sleeps 4 

Nestled at the foot of East Hill, surrounded by farmland and woods is our peaceful private cottage. Set in the enchanting grounds of Holcombe Manor you can immerse yourself in nature without wandering far. Originally built in 1880 it was used to house the grooms and the horses of Holcombe Manor. The main house and the stable were carefully restored over a number of years resulting in the stable being the welcoming and happy cottage it is today.
​The Stable is in a beautifully rural location, however, because of its proximity to the A30 and M5 it is ideally situated for exploring much of Devon by car;
  • 25 minutes to Exeter city centre (14 miles)
  • 17 minutes to Sidmouth beach (8 miles)
  • 40 minutes to Dartmoor National Park (30 miles)
  • 4 minutes to Ottery St. Mary (1.5 miles)

Ground Floor

Upon opening the traditional stable door you walk into the entrance hall decorated with seasonal flowers and a welcome pack with all of the information you will need for your stay. Storage is plentiful with a cloakroom cupboard and an under-stairs utility space. The ground floor consists of a kitchen diner with all of the modern appliances you'd expect and some beautiful traditional ones as well. At the end of the hall is the cozy sitting room. Sink into a cozy sofa, relax and enjoy the SMART TV, books and games available.  This floor also has a shower-room and handy loo!

Upstairs

Up a flight of pine stairs are two light and airy bedrooms and a bathroom. The bedrooms in The Stable are built for a deep and restful nights sleep. The first bedroom features a dreamily comfortable king sized bed dressed with plump, sumptuous feather pillows and duvets and high quality cool cotton sheets. The second bedroom is dressed to the same high standard but with two twin beds.
The bathroom is fitted out with a large bath and power shower. Thick fluffy towels are complementary with your visit.

Garden

The Stable has it's own small contained, private garden and driveway with space for dining outdoors underneath a mature wisteria. You are also welcome to wander around the woodlands of Holcombe Manor where you will discover a gazebo, perfect for picnics and a rustic swing hanging from an old cedar tree.
