…. ½ mile from the open moor and from a popular pub and about a mile from Throwleigh, in the peaceful hamlet of Aysh, a detached, 18th cent. stone cottage, originally a Devon longhouse.
A wonderful walled garden to the front with an archway to orchard and meadows to wander, play games, down to a stream (small children should be supervised). You can walk out on to Dartmoor, and the Mariners Way walk (Dartmouth to Bideford) goes through the hamlet.
Inside is elegant and uncluttered – a marriage of ancient building with 21st century comfort with beautiful granite flooring/rugs downstairs. On one side of the cottage, a cosy living room with huge inglenook fireplace (woodburner); a simple kitchen (oil cooking range, gas hob, larder fridge) with old granite floor and slate worktops, and utility with dishwasher, washing machine, tumble drier, freezer, and back door; on the other side of the house, a large living/dining garden room, with lofty beams, huge windows on three sides with garden and moorland views and gorgeous chimney breast and old clome bread oven, on the fourth side. From hall, stairs up to a den area with table-top football and comfy seating; two bedrooms, both double, one with 5’ bed; bathroom (suite with sunken bath and separate wall shower).
An oasis of serenity with moorland walks virtually from the front door.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. The weather was mostly sunny and warm apart from one day and there was lots to do in the area. We celebrated our 30th weddng anniversary with an 11 course Tasting Menu at The Treby Arms (about an hour away) and enjoyed both Lydford Gorge and Castle Drogo. We loved The Northmore Arms round the corner from the cottage - such a cosy pub with a roaring fire and hearty food."

"An amazing property beautifully furnished and incredibly spacious. A wonderful walled english garden to the front of the property and to the side beautiful moorland views. We had a very enjoyable stay and felt as if we had escaped modern life for a week."
