About this property

A relaxing country base for families, Wingstone Farm Cottage is a delightful getaway for those wishing to explore this fine part of Devon. Set in a reverse-level layout, the three tastefully decorated bedrooms can be found on the ground floor, two of which feature twin beds and the other a double.

If you don’t feel like cooking, there’s a pub within walking distance from the cottage and more options to choose from in the quaint villages and towns surrounding.

Five miles away is the small village of Lustleigh, or head further afield and explore the coastal resorts of Teignmouth, Torbay, and Torquay, home to several sandy beaches and activities to sample. Wingstone Farm Cottage is a delightful getaway to an idyllic part of Devon.

Nestled in the valley of the River Bovey is this stunning little town known as "The Gateway to the Moor". Bovey Tracey got its name from the meandering river that flows through it, with 'Tracey' representing the family that were the lords of the manor after the Norman Conquest. It has a great history with heavy involvement in the English Civil War which resulted in the name of the town's pub "The Cromwell Arms" which serves real ale and good food. The history of the town can be discovered in the Heritage Centre, with the Dartmoor National Park Authority also nearby. Bovey Tracey offers a selection of shops and cafés along with the stunning Mill Marsh Park and the Dartmoor Whisky Distillery which offers guided tours. The town comes just outside of the Dartmoor National Park which provides seemingly endless walking and cycling paths along with incredible scenery. The market town of Newton Abbot sits nearby, offering a fantastic day out with charming buildings and a good range of amenities. The beautiful city of Exeter is also within driving distance, and if a day at the seaside is what you're after then take a trip to Teignmouth.
