    A home from home. Really spacious with all you could need. The welcome pack of bread, scones, butter, jam, cream and milk was a lovely surprise. Thank you.

  • "What a beautiful and well kept house."

    My friends and I felt so welcome and comfortable. Very clean and tidy. Communication regarding check in was easy to follow. The guide book on appliances and rooms in the house was also very helpful. The suggestions for local cuisine even more so! Would definitely come again

  • "Plenty of space."

    All the facilities you will need for a self catering holiday. Quiet residential area. Owners live locally and are on hand if needed but very respective of your privacy. Lots to do within an hour by car (tourist attractions/coast) as well as walkable into small town and countryside walks. We had a lovely holiday here.

    Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your holiday in Birdsong and hope we can welcome you again in the future. Property Owner

The property

Birdsong, is a delightful, detached house in the market town of Crediton, Devon.

Offering a family or group of eight spacious living areas, an enclosed garden, off-road parking, and easy access to local amenities and attractions, this homely dwelling has been thoughtfully appointed for your next holiday in Devon. Be immediately welcomed by a large, bright sitting room with cushioned, recliner seating to sink into after the day's adventures and choose from a selection of entertainments; watch TV, play games, read a book, play the piano or perhaps you'll rustle up a bowl of popcorn and play a DVD on the cinema projector?

The attractive kitchen has everything you need for preparing snacks, picnics, and hearty evening meals, including an electric double oven, gas hob, and dishwasher, whilst the large dining room has a table for eight which is ideal for celebrating special occasions with your loved ones. You'll find another dining table in the conservatory and in your private, enclosed rear garden; sunbathe on the lawn, enjoy a cold beverage on the outdoor seating, and why not have a barbecue on summer evenings?

After fun-filled days by the sea or exploring the country, throw your gear into the utility's washing machine, before making your way upstairs to the family bathroom to unwind in the tub or shower over.

Make yourself right at home in one of four cheerful bedrooms with storage space and homely decor, including a king-size with en-suite shower room, a double, and two twin rooms: suitable for a variety of holiday groups!

Crediton is a wonderful base for your Devon adventures; The Three Little Pigs, Cairney’s Bistro and Crediton Tandoori are just some of the fantastic eateries on offer, alongside a range of takeaways, supermarkets, independent shops, bakeries, butchers, and farm shops supplying local delicacies.

Start your day with a swim at Lords Meadow Leisure Centre or take a stroll through Shobrooke Park with quiet pathways and fishing ponds.

Head up onto Dartmoor for great walks and stunning scenery.

Alternatively you are ideally placed to visit both the north and south coasts of Devon with sandy beaches, surfing and lots of activities for the whole family.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £450.

About the location

CREDITON

Exeter 8.5 miles.

A busy market town 8.5 miles north west of the cathedral city of Exeter, and situated in an area of Devon known as “Red Devon” so called because of the distinctive red soil which is of prime agricultural quality, and excellent for growing swedes. This is a rural area of Devon which is tranquil, unspoilt and where ruby cattle are seen grazing amongst the rolling green meadows. There are many scattered villages with welcoming inns, well stocked farm shops and friendly locals. Crediton has a wide range of shops selling gifts and groceries, a fabulous farmers’ market, modern leisure centre and plenty of family friendly pubs. Crediton is less than 10 miles from Dartmoor National Park which provides excellent walking and horse riding opportunities and a half hour drive from the beautiful city of Exeter where there are theatres, stunning cathedral, shopping malls, and historic quay with waterfront cafes, antique shops and bars.

Note: The property is situated in a quiet, residential area.

Note: No stag/hen parties, or similar.
