The open-plan kitchen-dining-sitting room is the heart of the property, with wood-effect flooring and exposed beams give it a warm, contemporary feel. The kitchen is well equipped and there's solid oak dining table for six. The sitting area has two large leather recliner sofas arranged around the wood burner. The three bedrooms are located at the far end of the property, adjacent to the family shower room which is finished to a high standard with marble-effect panels, a walk-in shower, floating vanity unit and heated towel rail. There is a second toilet with hand basin in the cloakroom. The property is supplied with natural spring water which has been tested and approved for drinking.

Hans Meadow is in a beautiful and peaceful location, please respect the tranquility of the area - this is not a party destination.

Indoor Description
The kitchen is well equipped with an induction hob, electric oven, dishwasher, washing machine and free-standing fridge-freezer, along with a microwave, kettle and toaster. Cookware, utensils, crockery, cutlery and glassware are all provided, plus a couple of tea towels and oven gloves. On arrival you will find tea, coffee and milk so you can have a hot drink when you arrive, and washing-up liquid is provided in the kitchen.

The sitting area is focused around the wood burner - a starter basket of logs and kindling is provided from October to March. Further logs can be purchased on-site from the owners if you require them. There is a wall-mounted television in the sitting area too.

Wi-Fi, electricity and oil central heating are all included. Water at Hans Meadow is supplied by a natural spring; it has been fully tested and is approved as safe to drink.

Bed linen and towels are provided. Please bring your own towels if you wish to take them with you away from the property. Hand soap and one or two toilet rolls will be provided per toilet. The property is on a private drainage system - please do not flush anything other than toilet paper.

Outdoor Description
To the front of the bungalow there is an open lawned area with a circular picnic bench - a pleasant spot to sit out, looking across towards the hillside. This area is not enclosed. At the far end of the property, a gate leads into a separate enclosed garden area: a steeper, more private space fenced all the way round with post and rail and stock fencing. The owner lives in the farmhouse a short distance away and is on hand if needed during your stay.

Hans Meadow sits in one of the quieter corners of Exmoor National Park, in a small hamlet with a genuinely unhurried feel. The nearby Heddon Valley is a deep, wooded combe where the River Heddon runs through ancient oak woodland before reaching the sea at Heddon's Mouth - a rocky, undeveloped cove only reachable on foot. The Hunter's Inn at the valley bottom is a well-loved local pub and a natural starting point for walks in the area, ranging from gentle riverside paths to more demanding routes up onto the coastal heathland.

The South West Coast Path runs very nearby (just a couple of minutes from the property) heading west towards Combe Martin and east towards Woody Bay and Lynmouth along some of the highest cliffs on the south-west coast.

Parking
Private off-road parking for up to 3 cars on the drive beside the property.

Pets Description
Up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome for a supplement of £30 per dog. Please do not allow your dogs onto any furniture and do not leave them alone in the property at any time.

The region
Trentishoe is a peaceful hamlet tucked into the Heddon Valley on the northern edge of Exmoor National Park, midway between Lynton and Combe Martin. The South West Coast Path runs along the coastline here and Hans Meadow is just a couple of minutes from the path. Surrounded by steep wooded hillsides and open moorland, this is a quiet, unspoilt corner of Devon where red deer graze in the fields and the pace of life slows right down. The nearby hamlet of Martinhoe perches high on the Exmoor coast with dramatic cliff views across the Bristol Channel to Wales. Together, Trentishoe, Parracombe and Martinhoe make a superb base for exploring Exmoor's finest walking country, hidden valleys, and spectacular coastline.

The village of Parracombe is around 4 miles away and has a pub and a farm shop for everyday essentials. The Hunter's Inn in the Heddon Valley is a popular walkers' pub and well worth a visit - the valley itself is National Trust managed and one of the finest spots on this stretch of coast and is just over a mile from the property.

Lynton and Lynmouth are approximately 6 miles to the east, offering a good range of shops, cafes, restaurants, and the famous cliff railway. Combe Martin is approximately 4 miles to the west, with a sandy beach, shops, and the Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park.

For larger supermarkets, Barnstaple has Tesco, Sainsbury's, and most high street shops. Ilfracombe also has a good range of independent shops and a small supermarket.
