Summary
The cottage is described as beautiful and located in a picturesque village, great for cozy stays, scenic walks, and local experiences. However, access via narrow roads can be stressful. The property is well-maintained, dog-friendly, and conveniently near a pub, though some outdoor dining options were less comfortable.
The property
This pretty semi-detached thatched cottage is situated on the Dartmoor Way lane in the pretty little peaceful village of North Bovey. Dating from the 17th century and Grade II listed, it is a charming and atmospheric place for a family or friends to enjoy the splendid surroundings. On the ground floor the sitting room is wonderfully traditional with wood burning stove in a massive inglenook fireplace, ancient beams and window seat with valley views, plus a kitchen area. Step down through a cute little doorway to your dining room (5'10" lintel). Generations over history have wended their way up the steep winding stairs to the two cosy bedrooms, now with modern family bathroom. To one side of the cottage, down the lane, accessed via 3 steps a long, narrow, secluded wooded garden with 2 paved areas (table/chairs) looking across Easdon Down and surrounding hills.Not suitable for small children, people with limited mobility or the elderly. To explore further, head down the lane to stepping stones across the River Bovey, a pretty little tree-shaded spot to dream and watch fish and dragonflies. Beyond this are lovely walks in all directions, in the foothills of open Dartmoor. Friendly pubs for eating out located in nearby town Moretonhampstead and Manaton. Little Gate Cottage is a smashing base for enjoying peace and tranquillity in a wonderfully unspoiled village location. Ring of Bells Inn in walking distance.
