The Old Log Shed

Tucked away at the end of a private, tree-lined drive just 3½ miles from the historic market town of Honiton, The Old Log Shed is a beautifully converted former stable offering a serene and stylish retreat in the heart of East Devon.
This light-filled cottage has been thoughtfully designed to blend rustic charm with modern comfort. The inviting living room, complete with a wood-burning stove, is perfect for cosy evenings, while the sleek kitchen, featuring granite worktops and a dining area, makes mealtimes a pleasure. Two sets of bi-fold doors open onto the garden, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.
The ground floor also includes a contemporary shower room with a walk-in shower - ideal after a day of exploring. Upstairs, two pretty bedrooms (a double and a twin) enjoy lovely garden views and share a bright bathroom with a Velux window that floods the space with natural light.
Outside, your private, enclosed garden features a large level lawn, croquet set, swing, and a suntrap terrace with outdoor dining furniture and a barbecue—perfect for relaxed al fresco mealtimes. Off-road parking is available, and guests are welcome to use the owners’ all-weather tennis court.
The surrounding area offers a rich tapestry of experiences. Just a short drive away, Honiton welcomes you with its antique shops, traditional markets, and the acclaimed Thelma Hulbert Gallery. The town’s heritage in lace-making adds a unique cultural touch, while its cafés and bakeries offer the perfect pause during a day of exploring.
Nature lovers will be drawn to the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where peaceful trails wind through ancient woodlands, wildflower meadows, and hidden valleys. The East Devon Way offers panoramic walks, while the River Otter provides a tranquil setting for riverside strolls - and even the chance to spot wild beavers in their natural habitat.
A little further afield, the elegant seaside town of Sidmouth awaits with its dramatic red cliffs, charming esplanade, and inviting beach. Whether you’re browsing independent boutiques, enjoying a cream tea, or walking the South West Coast Path, Sidmouth offers a perfect blend of coastal charm and natural beauty.
For a taste of city life, Exeter is within easy reach, offering a vibrant mix of history, shopping, and culture. Explore the majestic cathedral, stroll along the historic quayside, or enjoy a performance at one of its theatres.
After a day of adventure, treat yourself to a meal at The Otter Inn, a traditional riverside pub serving classic pub favourites just minutes away. The Pig at Combe, set in a stunning Elizabethan manor just outside Honiton, serves exceptional dishes in a relaxed yet elegant setting and is a destination in itself for food lovers
