"Wonderful weekend stay in this cosy cottage. Perfect base for trip to North Devon. The fire is amazing for winter and the bed was really comfortable and warm. Also the scones, jam and cream set up for our arrival were delicious!"
MONKLEIGH COACHMANS COTTAGE OVERVIEW
COACHMANS is a delightful self catering cottage situated through an archway in a cobbled courtyard in the grounds of Monkleigh village's old rectory, parts of which date back over 400 years. Although called COACHMANS COTTAGE it is in fact believed to have been the original bakehouse for the main house and the original bread oven is still in situ to the side of the wood burning stove.
Coachman's can be found in a very peaceful situation on the edge of Monkleigh village and within easy walking distance of the friendly village inn, The Bell, which also serves great food.
The house has extensive gardens of approximately 3 acres, plus a large wildlife garden with a large pond, an ideal spot to chill out and commune with nature.
These are available to those occupying the cottage to enjoy. Garden furniture and a small charcoal barbeque are provided. Please note that these grounds are extensive and unfenced so children will need supervision.
This cottage is in a stunning rural location and forms part of the traditional cobbled courtyard setting of original buildings to the main house. It is compact and has a wood burner making it a cosy, romantic hideaway spot for two. Off road parking is available directly in front of the cottage.
LIVING AREAS
Within the level open plan social space the wood burning stove is a focal point, and provides ample cosy heat whatever time of year you visit, additional wood is provided free of charge and can be found across the courtyard.
KITCHEN / DINING
The cosy combined lounge/kitchen/dining room has exposed beams giving a rustic feel.
The dining table and chairs seat two and on request a high chair can be supplied. A useful under stair cupboard contains such items including a vacuum cleaner, ironing board and brooms etc. The kitchen area has a modern built in electric cooker and hob, microwave oven and a very good selection of kitchen equipment.

The cottage comfortably sleeps two adults in the spacious bedroom which has an antique double bed and dressing table. The natural wood floor and coverings add to the period feel and give a wonderful feeling of intimacy.
