About this property

This beautiful Devon cottage is situated in the tiny hamlet of Combe near the Dartmoor village of Scorriton. The decor is deceptively simple, with pale wood and stone floors giving a sophisticated style for couples or families. The magnificent oak framed kitchen with dining area will take your breath away as you step inside, with light from big windows and a sleek kitchen. There are eight stone steps down from here to the cosy sitting room with its wood burning stove and TV for entertainment, or you are spoiled for choice with a second living room, also with wood burning stove, for quiet contemplation or reading, perhaps with a Mary Wesley novel since this lovely cottage was once home to the author. An old fashioned hip bath in the downstairs bathroom adds to the sense of romance. Upstairs, through low doorways, you will find the two simple bedrooms under the eaves, as well as a smart bathroom. Across the little lane, a small orchard with picnic bench and bluebell woods beyond are a peaceful haven frequented by deer and kingfishers, and you also have an enclosed lawn garden behind the cottage for alfresco meals. This is a place to dream and walk, being in the Dartmoor National Park, or take a ride from the nearby stables, visit beaches at Bigbury-on-Sea or Bantham, 16 miles away, or wander the streets of fascinating little towns like Ashburton and Totnes. Cullaford Cottage is a magical place to relax in Devon.

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.

    A grab handle in the shower would be a good safety addition. We are sure the oven is brilliant once the controls are mastered but we did not have time to learn how to drive it. A simple oven would be an improvement.

    It is simply furnished and well equipped by the owners. Although we had terrible weather we nevertheless enjoyed our stay reading and enjoying the garden and scenery. The cottage owns a small wood and stream nearby that our dog enjoyed. The cottage is deep in the heart of beautiful Devon countryside and there are many places to visit - we particularly enjoyed the quaintness of Ashburton. We will certainly stay again,

    Just a a few observations this time that we thought we'd share: In the past we've been greeted with fresh flowers from the garden, cake, butter and milk. This time we only got some tasteless biscuits and milk. I would recommend having more provisions for the guests. This time we had a new born baby with us and didn't have a travel cot provided as standard at the cottage. This would have been an enormous help. The TV reception is poor and cuts out frequently when trying to watch TV. This seems to be a new problem we hadn't experienced with previous stays at the cottage. But otherwise, the place was as lovyas usual.
