Description from owner
Description
Downe Cottages provide a rare combination of private luxury cottages with an excellent leisure facility attached (spacious gym and spa plus a reading room available from 6.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m. each day) located in the heart of the North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Whatever the weather it is possible to thoroughly enjoy your visit to North Devon with the combination of a warm and spacious cottage and the extensive leisure facilities.
Ivy is a wonderful cottage with space, character and views.
Ivy Cottage is within part of a two storey 'L' shaped barn which was formerly a dairy on the ground floor and hayloft on top. It opens out onto a charming shared inner courtyard area (which is a beautiful sun trap) with garden table and chairs.
The exceptionally spacious open plan living, dining and kitchen is on the first floor taking in the views over the Atlantic north to Lundy Island through one of two full length French windows (the other looks west).
The very large living area has two large 3-seater sofas and a log burner. The kitchen is fully equipped and includes a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave, oven and washer/dryer.
The two bedrooms are on the ground floor and both have en-suite shower rooms. The master bedroom has a Queen bed (5'), the second bedroom has twin beds. Both bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, chest of drawers and cabinets and a three quarter length mirror hung on a wall.
• Central heating in all rooms
• Communal gardens
• All standard consumables are included
• Garage parking
• Bathrobes are provided for adults
Gym & Spa Facilities at Done
The Gym
Our gym is available to guests aged over sixteen and is open from 6.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m. each day during their stay.
The gym is beautifully located in the Atlantic Room and has views across fields out to Hartland Point and Lundy Island beyond. (Lundy Island is where the Atlantic meets the Bristol Channel.)
The gym is spacious, light and airy and equipped with aerobic equipment, free weights, an ab trainer, an exercise bench and exercise mats.
All of the aerobic equipment is either Life Fitness equipment
(including a treadmill, a cross trainer, a stepper, an upright cycle and a recumbent cycle) or Concept 11 equipment (a rower).
The gym is accessed through the Reading Room in the Conservatory. There is a raised area here overlooking the gym equipment with a seating for the less energetic to sit and admire their dynamic partners!
The Atlantic Room also houses a library and dvd collection for our guests to use.
French windows from the Gym lead out to a raised patio area with tables and chairs looking out to Lundy Island - another opportunity to enjoy the wonderful surroundings.
The Spa
The Spa consists of a spa bath (with seats for eight adults), a steam room (with seats for seven adults) and a sauna.
The Spa is open from 6.a.m. to 10 p.m. each evening (the spa bath is available on request) .
Gym Sweat Towels and Bath Towels for the Spa are provided and the cost of both Gym and Spa are included in the cottage rental.
Our home from home cottages provides lovely accommodation for a relaxing break throughout the year.
