Stargazing Retreat

Located in the unspoilt North Devon countryside between Okehampton and Great Torrington, Tythecombe Stargazing Retreat is somewhere to escape to and enjoy all the countryside has to offer. A host of fantastic amenities are offered to give you the tranquil trip that you deserve.
Begin your exploration of this unique holiday home as you walk into the cosy and inviting open plan living, dining and kitchen area. The well equipped kitchen has all mod cons for enjoying a home-cooked meal for two. The wood burner in the living room offers a relaxing sanctuary, after a busy day exploring the Devonshire countryside. The beautifully presented bedroom has a kingsize bed and a sky light above, which is perfect for stargazing at night. The adjacent shower room has a walk-in rain shower. To top off this beautiful property, there is a hot tub on the private decking area, a fire pit with barbeque grill, plenty of outdoor seating in a large private enclosed garden. A welcome pack, dressing gowns and slippers will be provided, and the property has an off-road allocated parking space.
There are numerous walks directly from the lodge into the countryside and neighbouring estate. The Tarka Trail for great cycling and walking is 2 miles away. The village of Merton is half a mile from the lodge and here you will find a local pub. There are stunning beaches at Woolacombe and Sandymouth, and you can enjoy a day out at Hartland. The towns of Great Torrington and Bideford lie close by, where you will find most amenities and at Bideford’s quay you can book a trip to Lundy Island.
Beach lovers will delight in the wide sandy beaches, the nearest being the lovely beaches at Instow and Westward Ho!. There are numerous National Trust properties in the surrounding area to enjoy, including Arlington Court and Castle Drogo. Cycle hire on the Tarka Trail can be arranged at Great Torrington and there is golf, fishing and horse riding all available locally. Pub ½ mile. Beach 14 miles.
