We had wanted to visit this cottage before but somehow never managed it. So our expectations were high! All the same, our wonderful week there was even better than we had hoped and planned. Greatly helped by the caretaker/housekeeper, Eva. She is brilliant! Splendidly equipped, everything was there that we needed. Very comfortable double bed and arm chairs downstairs. Always warm and cosy. Large, interesting library of excellent books. Wonderful walks from the door and we had good weather, an unexpected bonus and blessing. Fascinating history of the cottage, Estate and area. Highly recommended.

“We enjoyed a return visit to this charming and well equipped property which is sited in a delightful area.”

...secluded and handy for numerous trips. We did notice that the decor was looking a little 'tired' and felt that the sitting room would benefit from a new settee. The welcome pack was much appreciated.

“We received a very warm and helpful welcome from the caretakers of this enchanting cottage.”

It is in an extremely quiet location on a laneway but convenient to so many locations. We explored locations as far away as Port Isaac and St Michael's Mount, and closer places of interest included Tavistock and Okehampton. Highly recommended.
Mrs Smith September 2019

“Fantastic location, great base to explore both Devon and Cornwall.”

Beautiful cottage!
Dr Kirby September 2019

“A well located cottage for reaching attractions in West Devon (and across into Cornwall) in a pretty rural area with plenty of walking from the front door.”

The cottage was very clean and well equipped with good wifi (although no mobile phone coverage). We appreciated the cream tea and groceries supplied by Eva.

“The cottage was even better than the web pictures.”

The house, facilities, garden, everything is wonderful in this cottage. Don't miss the opportunity to spend few days on it.
Mr Pfister July 2019

“Extremely nicely situated on the countryside in a lovely garden next to the wood.”

As expected, ceilings quite low for tall people. Equipment and facilities esp. plumbing old-fashioned but working. Caretaker very helpful and hospitable.
Mr De Mesmaeker June 2019

“The cottage is well placed to travel to Cornwall and Devon.”

Very lovelly and romantic cottage, and well equipped . We had a lovely time and most of all an unexpected very warm welcome. If possible for us, we will certainly return to this cottage.
Mr Megson June 2019

“Location and cottage ambience was outstanding.”

Excellent welcome and assistance throughout the stay from the housekeeper.
Dr Simon May 2019

“The cottage exceeded expectations.”

It was lovely to sit in the garden listening to the birds. The kitchen was very well appointed and everything one could need was there. A wonderful place to unwind.

“A M A Z I N G”

Wow, what a wonderful place to stay! The pictures don't do it justice, its a chocolate box looking cottage. With all the extras to make your stay easier. We had a week there in the summer with my wife and 2 girls (12 & 16). We all enjoyed it immensely, the lovely lady who looks after it, was so helpful, bought us plenty of wood for a roaring fire and even milk, bread and scones for a cream tea on our arrival. Excellent location for days out and beautiful local walks. The stream walk was so nice, (take your wellies). The Wifi was a godsend for us all to be able connect to the outside world, but there was almost no phone signal at the cottage. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage, to anyone looking to get away and enjoy the surrounding areas. The garden was beautifully kept and a glass of wine in the evenings, watching the sun go down was very special!

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.
