About this property

This peaceful cottage is situated along an impressive drive lined with beech trees and is attached to a Victorian rectory in the hamlet of Harford on the edge of the Dartmoor National Park. The accommodation is stylish and smart, with a lovely sitting room where you can relax on leather sofas beside the wood burning stove. The good sized kitchen with its granite worktops and dining area has glass doors to a sunny courtyard where you can enjoy leisurely barbecues. Head upstairs and you will find the two bedrooms and a bathroom. The outside space is lovely, with 40 acres of bluebell meadows and woodland to wander and spot all kinds of wildlife. Beyond the grounds, you can head directly on to open moorland to explore the wilds of Dartmoor. This is a fascinating area of the moors, with ancient stone circles and cairns and then the River Erme valley is a wonderful contrast with its watery beauty. For shops, head to Ivybridge two miles distant, and beaches don't come much lovelier than Mothecombe which is just 10 miles away and was used for filming International Velvet, Sense and Sensibility and My Cousin Rachel. Butterbrook Coach House is a splendid retreat for a restful break.

The ancient Stannary town of Ashburton lies on the southern slopes of Dartmoor and is an ideal spot from which to explore the rugged high moors to the North and a beautiful coastline to the South. The scenery in this area of South Devon is glorious in all weathers and offers visitors opportunities for walking, pony trekking, canoeing, fishing and lazing on the beach.

    We spent a week here in February with our two miniature schnauzers and despite the misty weather we managed to find time to get out onto the nearby Moor for a walk and visit the local stannary towns particularly Ashburton and Tavistock. Great location, lovely and comfortable.

    As everything you need .

    The owners were very welcoming and everything was as you would like to find it when you first arrive. The accommodation has all the appliances in the kitchen you would nee, including a washing machine and fridge and freezer. The living room is a big space complete with a log burner and large shelf supplied with maps, interesting books and board games. Location wise, the accommodation is set on a farm with its own private drive, Ivybridge is within 2 miles and has all your local convenience shops and a petrol station. Turning right at the end of the private drive and walking up a fairly steep hill takes you to a cattle crossing and gate which gives you access to the Dartmoor. The coach house has a parking port which for a standard sized length car keeps it dry with its own contained pitched roof. We took our two dogs and they loved the location, please understand that there is livestock on and near the farm and on the moors so please be responsible with your dogs. So many lovely places to visit within an hours drive from Ivybridge and lots of history with both the farm/coach house and within Ivybridge. Totally recommended, and we had the company of an owl which hooted most nights. Bliss with only the stream noise running and bird song. Looking forward to visiting again.
