Straw Cottage is a handcrafted retreat unlike anywhere else. Designed and built by artists and makers, every detail has been carefully considered, from the dramatic architecture and bespoke joinery to the vibrant colours, stained-glass windows and handcrafted furnishings.
The original straw bale cottage forms the heart of the home. Here you’ll find a striking open-plan living space beneath soaring vaulted ceilings, where bold colours, handcrafted details and a cosy wood burner create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The bespoke kitchen is fully equipped for everything from leisurely breakfasts to candlelit dinners, while the dining area sits at the centre of the cottage, making it the perfect place to slow down and spend time together.
A handcrafted staircase leads to a mezzanine snug overlooking the living space below. Curl up with a book, enjoy a morning coffee or simply admire the unique architecture from above.
Beyond the living area, the cottage opens into its dramatic timber A-frame extension, where the romantic bedroom enjoys views across the private garden. The king-size bed sits beneath a huge stargazing roof light, allowing you to fall asleep beneath the stars and wake to the changing light of the Devon sky. Rich colours, natural timber and carefully chosen artwork make this a wonderfully cosy and intimate space.
Doors lead directly from the bedroom onto your private garden, where you’ll find a wood-clad hot tub, hanging hammock chair, fire pit and plenty of space to relax in complete privacy. Whether you’re soaking beneath the stars or enjoying a morning coffee outside, the garden feels like an extension of the bedroom itself.
The contemporary bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower, blending modern comfort with handcrafted character.
Although wonderfully peaceful, Straw Cottage is perfectly placed for exploring North Devon’s spectacular coastline, with Clovelly, Bucks Mills, Westward Ho!, Instow and the South West Coast Path all within easy reach.
This isn’t just somewhere to stay—it’s a place to slow down, reconnect and experience a home that has been lovingly created to surprise, inspire and create lasting memories.
