About this property
… ½ mile from Scorriton, in the tiny hamlet of Combe through which the river Mardle meanders to the river Dart, a stunning detached cottage, once home to the author Mary Wesley and still a haven from the rush of the modern world. Across the little used single-track lane, a small enclosed orchard (picnic bench) and, beyond, a bluebell wood (deer, kingfishers) with the river running along one side. Behind the cottage, an enclosed lawned garden plus cobbled and paved terrace (table/chairs).
Inside, pared back and elegant with pale wood and stone floors, soothing white palette and original art. Step up from the garden into kitchen/dining room, a magnificent oak-framed extension, fully glazed on two sides with the sleek kitchen (dishwasher, larder fridge) along the length. Eight shallow steps down to snug living room (TV/DVD/Blu-ray) with woodburner. Second living room with chaise longue and woodburner, offering space for reading or writing. Utility room (washing machine, tumble drier, American-style fridge-freezer, sink) and bathroom (suite, hipbath plus hand-shower). Upstairs (some low lintels), two bedrooms, both simply furnished – an airy double (6’ bed) with pitched ceiling, views over the garden and shower-room (suite) up 7 steps, and a twin tucked under the eaves, plus smart bathroom (suite with separate shower). Spring water. A magical and sophisticated cottage in a tranquil, beautiful setting.

"We had a brilliant week at Cullerford Cottage, thank you. We all enjoyed the wonderful aspects and comforts of the clever conversion. Luckily we had excellent spring weather, but i was secretly pleased to have rain on our last day and the excuse to spend a cosy time reading and still enjoy the landscape from the depth of a very luxurious kitchen chair! Helpful Holidays can not always deliver the weather I'm sure, but they did well in every other aspect. I will definitely book with you again for a west country holiday."

"Our holiday at Cullaford Cottage was everything as described by Helpful Holidays and more ,to have your own woods and access to the river Mardel was a big bonus. Thank you Helpful Holidays for making our break at Cullaford Cottage a memorable one."
