“Booking was efficient as usual through Helpful Holidays and we had another wonderful week at Lew Quarry Cottage.”

We soaked up the tranquil atmosphere and enjoyed the very beautiful surroundings. Thanks to Eva for the thought and the care that she puts into this most special cottage, we are already looking forward to our next visit.

“I liked the support given by the people who helped book the cottage at such short notice, and also the people who look after the Sykes holiday cottage in Devon, in going out of their way to provide variously, a cot, a new toaster and more firewood for our stay.”

We had a really enjoyable week.

“An attractive cottage in an idyllic setting.”

“This is the third time we have stayed at Lew Quarry Cottage, returning there is just like home from home.”

It is certainly the best cottage we have had anywhere in England.I have already booked it for the same week next July as that week coincides with my partner's birthday and we do like to get away to celebrate! We also have friends in the area to visit, and there are plenty of antiques shops within the area to visit and hopefully buy; we're both busy antiques dealers. Long may Lew Quarry Cottage remain available!

“You won't find a quieter spot.”

.and the cottage is maintained to the highest standards.

“This is a very good and very well managed property, where there is great attention to detail and a genuine homely feel.”

“Lew Quarry Cottage is a beautiful "chocolate box" cottage with pretty gardens set in peaceful countryside.”

We had a warm welcome from Eva,fresh flowers throughout the cottage and all kinds of delicious treats left for us. The cottage is cosy and comfortable, extremely well stocked with everything you could possibly need and you feel relaxed and at home very quickly. We enjoyed sitting in the garden watching the wild life,something different everyday!!! Two things i would point out...being an old cottage the ceilings and doorways are quite low and hubby ended up with a few bumps on his head (he's 6ft 2ins) ....and the path to the cottage is fairly long and an uphill slope which could be a problem to those with limited mobility. Apart from this the cottage is absolutely perfect,has bags of character,in beautiful surroundings and i would definitely stay here again.

“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.

“Perfect location for our requirements.”

The cottage was extremely well equipped with everything one could possibly need and the welcoming posies in the rooms gave a fresh feel to the whole place. Our third property with Helpful Holidays and we have not been disappointed - all have been to a very high standard (unlike one or two we have had the misfortune to rent on the basis of the brochure and Internet!). Beautiful countryside and fairly easy access to several NT properties and walks. In all, an extremely good holiday- and we had the perfect weather so very enjoyable.

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.
