Muddykins Cottage, brought to you by Cottages On The Coast, is situated on the hillside near a charming small hamlet and the picturesque Muddiford Valley. This delightful garden cottage, with two bedrooms, is nestled in its own elevated and attractive hillside garden. While staying at Muddykins Cottage, you'll experience complete privacy and seclusion, evoking a sense of reluctance to depart from the peaceful and restorative tranquillity of this idyllic setting.

The space
The cottage allows for easy access to the nearby Muddiford Inn, which is situated in the village. Additionally, the vicinity boasts the Broomhill Sculpture Gardens, renowned for its unique outdoor art collection and award-winning restaurant, as well as the Blakewell Trout Farm and Farm Shop. One of Muddykins Cottage's advantages is its proximity to the edge of Exmoor, a designated Dark Sky Reserve, the largest in Europe. Here, the reduced light pollution enhances stargazing opportunities, providing clearer views of the stars.
Only 4 miles away lies the historic riverside market town of Barnstaple, and picturesque country lanes provide easy access to Exmoor National Park, the spectacular rugged coastline, and numerous stunning golden sandy beaches that are perfect for surfing. All of this is set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
