About this property

Riverbank is a delightful cottage overlooking the River Cory and beautiful Devonshire countryside beyond. Retaining many characterful features of a property of this age, Riverbank has been updated to provide a relaxing, well-equipped holiday cottage in the most tranquil of locations.

Step up into the inviting sitting room, which has a feature fireplace with woodburning stove and enjoys views to the front of the cottage over the garden and river beyond. A spacious dining room provides a great spot to share mealtimes together with a newly-fitted and well equipped galley kitchen at the rear of the property. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, a double and two twin rooms all with views over the adjoining fields. A spacious bathroom is located on the ground floor and has a bath with a shower over.

The cottage is approached via a private gravelled driveway with parking for one car next to the cottage. Across the drive, the garden is enclosed by a stone wall and gate. A picnic bench provides the ideal spot to sit whilst overlooking the river with a glass of a chilled beverage or perhaps some dining alfresco. Care will need to be taken with pets and children due to the proximity with the river and livestock in the adjoining fields.

Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1133593, together sleeping up to 13 guests.

    description of house accurate. lovely setting. very peaceful met the owners who were very pleasant and helpful

    A little muddy in late October, bring your wellies ! driveway did flood during a massive down pour. A little chilly inside on arrival but electric radiators in all rooms made it very cosy and the smell of damp disappeared quite quickly. Found lots of logs in privy in the garden and the log burner in the lounge worked a little too well and we had to turn radiators down ! Lounge was v comfortable and beds good too. Kitchen had most things we needed. Farm shops provided great local produce ! induction hob which we've never used before. A lovely stay thanks to the owners for a peaceful few days in East Devon.

    .a couple of comments…..it says it’s dog friendly but the garden is seperate from the house so you can’t just open the door and let the dogs out…..you need a torch at night for the wee break before bed….this should be made clear to people……it says sleeps 6…. Which it does as there are 3 bedrooms……but there’s not enough room or seating ground floor……best suitable for 4 …..the location is great and very pretty and peaceful……I don’t usually comment on line or like to criticise but this house is best suited to 4 people with no dogs
