About this property

This pretty, thatched cottage is tucked away on the edge of the picturesque Devon village of Drewsteignton. 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 village, with footpaths criss crossing through woodland and beside the River Teign. Enjoy drinks or a meal at the riverside pub, Fingle Inn (5 mins drive), National Trust Castle Drogo (6 mins drive), Drakes Farm shop (milk, bread, meats etc- 3 mins drive), Drakes Café (fab breakfasts, meals coffee and lots of farm animals to see - 3 mins drive), Cheriton Bishop Convenience shop (mini super - 7 mins drive), village pub the Drewe Arms is re-opening in March 2024. 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.

Drewsteignton sits high above the River Teign as it meanders through a spectacular steep wooded Teign Gorge. It is a chocolate box village with a cluster of ancient cob and thatched cottages surrounding a square, complete with ancient church.

    Living room was very comfy nice big rug in the middle Separate ends upstairs was good, we used small bedroom as a dressing room, lovely walled garden just right for our dog. Great location, parking for two cars

  • Paul

    This was the best cottage we have stayed in and have already booked again for next year. The walled garden was a perfect place for us and our dogs to chill after long walks in the gorgeous Dartmoor area. The kitchen is modern and well equipped and both bathrooms were well fitted with excellent showers. The lounge is comfortably furnished and there is a TV in all main rooms as well. A lovely place to stay in a fantastic location.

    It was very well equipped - we were even able to make a birthday cake! The showers were hot and powerful. The self contained garden was lovely - full of birdsong and very tranquil. We had 3 cars but there were no problems with using the nearby free village carpark for one of them. It is a shame that the village shop and two pubs have closed although there are efforts to re-open one pub. We enjoyed exploring the local area.
