Property code: OC-T34883

Immerse yourselves in the magical surroundings of North-West Devon from the comfort of this glamping pod. Sleeping two guests, but with the option of two more on a sofa bed, the one-bedroom holiday hideaway at Higher Prestacott, near Ashwater, captures far-reaching views out across the countryside. Bring your four-legged friend and set off on long walks together. As night falls, make the most of the dark skies and engage in a little stargazing.

Step up onto the wooden deck leading to the attractive-looking pod. Wander inside to find accommodation that feels light and airy, thanks to the almost completely glazed end encompassing the door. The space here is set up in a studio style, with an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner/bedroom for you to make yourselves at home in. Prepare light meals in the kitchen area and make fresh coffee in the machine. There is a table where you can enjoy the fruits of your labour. Unwind on the sofa as you watch the Smart TV or lose yourselves for hours at a time in the magnificent views. The main bed is a comfortable king-size. Guests can discuss the option of using the sofa bed when booking. There is also a generous wet room within the pod. This retreat is set within its own enclosed garden. Play games with your children or pets on the grass before sizzling supper on the BBQ and warming yourselves beside the firepit. There is ample parking.

Enjoy a range of water sports or go fishing at Roadford Lake, 4.5 miles away. Have a day on the Atlantic coast at spectacular Widemouth Bay, 17.5 miles away. Potter in the shops of Bude, 16 miles away, then swim in the sea or the tidal pool at Summerleaze Beach afterwards. Venture into the glorious landscapes of Dartmoor, 16 miles away.

We had a great stay at Thorney Cross Blackthorn pod. Rural and peaceful yet a great location on the borders of Devon and Cornwall, lots of places in the surrounding areas to visit. We was very impressed with the quality of the pod and everything in it. Best thing for us is that it has a fully enclosed garden with a second gate for extra security Read morefor the dog. The Lady was at the end of the phone if you needed anything . I would have liked to have spent more time there, still have loads to see. Thank you so much Hide
