Beyond the property, discover the characterful town of Chagford, home to the impressive Castle Drogo, scenic riverside walks, and easy access to the landscapes of Dartmoor National Park. Visit Okehampton, where Okehampton Castle reveals centuries of history, Meldon Reservoir offers beautiful waterside scenery, and Dartmoor's walking routes await. Alternatively, head to Crediton, known for its striking parish church, traditional market town atmosphere, and nearby Shobrooke Park. Whether you prefer exploring historic landmarks, wandering across moorland scenery, or discovering charming Devon settlements, there is plenty to fill your days. Whatever adventures await, The Bothy at Lewis Cottage is a wonderful base from which to experience Devon.

Spreyton is a small, rural village situated to the northeast of Dartmoor, in the centre of Devon. Spreyton is famous for its connection to the tale of ‘Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all’ who came from, and is thought to be buried in Spreyton. The village has a pub telling the story and serves good ale and the community shop sells local produce. There are some excellent countryside walks in the area including the Two Moors Way, a long distance path through stunning landscapes linking Dartmoor and Exmoor. The nearby towns of Chagford and Okehampton offer a wealth of amenities, and the market town of Crediton is well worth a visit for its attractive main street offering a good mix of local produce, shops and a magnificent 15th century church, plus nearby there are many pretty villages and farm shops. A stay in this beautiful unspoilt area of Devon gives plenty of opportunity for horse riding, fishing, golf and walking.
