“The wow factor was very high when you enter the cottage: it is spottlessly clean, very well equipped and very cosy.”
The garden is a dream with its wonderful bluebells and the fantastic view. It is a great base to explore the dartmoor and the surrounding area: Lydford Gorge, Okehampton, Exeter, Lustleigh, HayTor, Widecombe-in-the Moor, Bellever, Cadover Bridge, Buckland Abbey, Cotehele, Brixham and Dartmouth. We had wonderful weather and enjoyed our stay very much. We reccomend Lew Quarry Cottage for all who want to stay in a quiet accomodation. Eva the caretaker is very helpful and the welcome packet and the fresh flowers in every room was a great receipt. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.
The property
This gorgeous thatched detached cottage is situated down a no-through lane in the Lewtrenchard Valley a mile from Lewdown.
Surrounded by trees and close to the River Lew, it is a lovely base for couples or families with older children.
The entrance porch leads you into the charming sitting room with its beams and cosy open fire, heading on through to the dining room where you can enjoy delicious meals prepared in the well equipped kitchen.
Stairs lead up to two pretty bedrooms for peaceful sleeps.
The garden is beautiful, a tranquil place to sit on the bench or at the table, and you can store your bikes in the shed.
For wonderful dining, stroll to the renowned Lewtrenchard Manor Hotel or enjoy informal suppers at the village inn.
Lydford Gorge is a dramatic natural beauty spot managed by the National Trust to visit, or you can enjoy brilliant walks from the doorstep of the cottage.
Roadford Lake is excellent for walking, cycling or all types of water sports and Dingles Steam Village is a heady dose of fairground nostalgia.
Lew Quarry Cottage is a magical cottage for relaxing or enjoying outdoor activities.
