The property

This pretty, thatched cottage is tucked away on the edge of the picturesque Devon village of Drewsteignton, inside the Dartmoor National Park. One of three lovely cottages hidden from the lane, it is brilliantly peaceful. From the garden, you step into a big kitchen with dining area, and from there through an arch into a lovely cosy sitting room with electric stove. In traditional style, two separate staircases lead you upstairs, one to two bedrooms with a bathroom, the other to two more bedrooms with shower room. The two upstairs spaces don't connect, so are handily private for two families or couples. The lawn garden is charming, enclosed by high walls and with loungers and table and chairs for relaxing in the sun. This is a lovely area for walking from the cottage, with footpaths criss crossing through woodland and beside the River Teign. Enjoy drinks or a meal in the village square (5 minutes walk) at The Drewe Arms Community Pub (just won Camra Heritage Pub of the Year) or walk down to the beauty spot Fingle Bridge and have lunch on the river at the Fingle Inn (5 mins drive), National Trust Castle Drogo (6 mins drive), Drakes Farm shop (milk, bread, meats etc- 3 mins drive), Cheriton Bishop Convenience shop (mini super - 7 mins drive) Browse the interesting little shops in Chagford or head for city thrills in the cathedral city of Exeter, just 14 miles away. Michaelmas Cottage is a peaceful place for a relaxing break or Devon walks.
