About this property
Settled in the picturesque village of Drewsteignton in the popular Dartmoor National Park is this beautifully designed, character cottage, Cob Cottage. This dog-friendly cottage in Devon has original features throughout including exposed stone, wooden beams, and pine floors, combined with the contemporary comforts of a fully-equipped kitchen, Smart TV, and enclosed courtyard with outdoor seating; ideal for families and couples to enjoy a relaxing retreat. Be welcomed into the dining room with a rustic dining table for four guests, wooden panelling, and red quarry tiles which lead you into the sitting room. You'll find lovely artwork and traditional decor, along with a plush corner sofa to sink into and unwind by the woodburning stove, before rustling up a home-cooked meal in the bright kitchen with everything you need for a self-catering holiday.
On warm summer nights, enjoy alfresco dining or a cold glass of wine in your secluded, enclosed courtyard. Completing the ground floor is an impressive, contemporary bathroom with a double walk-in shower and freestanding, claw-foot bath, whilst upstairs there are two lovingly appointed bedrooms: a king-size and a double with high vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and classic cottage furnishings. Cob Cottage is a stone's throw away from Drewsteignton village square for a Post Office shop and two traditional pubs, The Drewe Arms and The Old Inn, for dining out and well-earned drinks after the day's adventures. The National Trust's Castle Drogo is also nearby to explore a medieval-style country home, whilst walkers will find their paradise in the Dartmoor National Park with beautiful views from Sharp Tor and Hunter's Tor.
The towns of Chagford with its outdoor swimming pool, Okehampton hosting the Museum of Dartmoor Life and the medieval ruins of Okehampton Castle, and Moretonhampstead with its popular Motor Museum are all within easy reach. Further afield, you'll find Blackingstone Rock, Canonteign Falls, and Becky Falls Ancient Woodland Park, along with Dartmoor's historic sites, whilst the ancient city of Exeter is within reach and has something for every guest. However you spend your holiday, make Cob Cottage your home-from-home on your next Dartmoor adventure.
