Ebony

Nestled within North Devon’s collage of ancient fields and rolling hills, Ebony promises utter seclusion a stone’s throw from the coast. This utterly unique, dog-friendly cabin has been crafted to perfection, with cosy corners and a smart projector ensuring every moment is one to remember. Outside, a wood-fired hot tub invites you to step into a soul-warming reverie as the night sky glitters and shines above, and a fire pit promises alfresco feasts soundtracked by birdsong. Spend your days exploring the wild beauty of North Cornwall and Devon, or retreat to your very own oasis of calm as the world drifts lazily by.

From the moment you enter Ebony, a wood-scented welcome cocoons you in its warming embrace as timber walls curve overhead. The living area and bedroom are separated via a bespoke partition that offers complete seclusion and additional storage, with each side whispering of unhurried mornings and afternoons spent in luxurious harmony.

Turning left, you’ll find yourself in the living and kitchen area, where a sumptuous sofa and footstool promise moments of deep relaxation as your gaze falls across the rolling scenes beyond the window.

Further in, a sleek kitchen, equipped with a two-ring hob, microwave combi oven, air fryer, and fridge/freezer, ensures blissful evenings conjuring delectable feasts using ingredients from the county’s bountiful natural larder. Pause at the two-seater dining table as natural light streams in, or take your meal alfresco to enjoy beneath the warming rays of the sun. A well-placed coffee table is ideal for playing games as the sun sets, while the radio fills the space with calming music and dulcet tones.

To the right of the capsule doors, the dreamy bedroom awaits, bedecked in earthen tones that blend seamlessly with the world beyond the window. A double bed, topped with a luxurious king-size duvet, faces out across the sprawling valley below, inviting you to spend drawn-out mornings watching mist curtain the land or shadows stretch across the hills as dusk settles over the landscape. Appearing from the ceiling, a smart projector turns this heavenly hideaway into your own personal cinema, where you can curl up and watch stories unfold. A large wardrobe hides within the curved partition, offering a spacious place to hang your things, while a fitted cupboard holds cosy blankets and winsome garden games.

Residing next to the bedroom, the thoughtfully designed bathroom boasts an electric shower, WC, wash basin, and an electric towel rail to warm the space and ensure the fluffiest towels during the cooler months.

Ebony’s outside space beckons to those seeking sun-warmed moments amidst rolling landscapes. Lie back and relax in the gorgeous Adirondack loungers while the dog explores the enclosed garden, or fill the traditional picnic table with Devonian delights for alfresco repasts. As the sun begins to dip beneath the horizon, light the wood-fired hot tub and settle into an evening of stargazing from its bubbling depths. Perfect for embered moments toasting marshmallows or crafting barbequed feasts, the fire pit invites you to sink into slow evenings gathered around its flickering flames as you recount the day and plan tomorrow.

Tucked away in North Devon’s undulating countryside yet close to the dramatic shores of Devon and Cornwall, Ebony blends countryside and coast for a spellbinding escape you simply won’t want to end. Linking Braunton and Meeth via an 180-mile traffic-free cycle route, The Tarka Trail is perfect for those who wish to explore by foot or bike. The path takes you through mottled moors, beneath rustling canopies, and along the salt-kissed scenes of the South West Coast Path, offering a breathtaking mix of landscapes to uncover as you go. From Ebony, explore the stretch between Torrington and Bideford for riverside reveries and Instow to Bideford for sweeping estuary views.

If golden beaches call to you, the nearby coast has you utterly covered. In Bude, Summerleaze Beach promises sprawling sands and a salt-dipped sea pool, while Crooklets Beach boasts a soul-soothing sauna by the sea. Widemouth Bay is a haven for surfers, with sunsets casting the expansive beach in a gold and ruby haze.
