  • "We had a lovely stay at Meadow thatch with gorgeous weather."

    The only downside was the signal, we couldn't get the sky to work so my son who likes to chill and watch a film before going out was disappointed but other than that it was great. Some beautiful walks with the dogs and the Drum pub was set in a lovely location.

  • "Amazing dog friendly location May 2025 I visited Meadow Thatch with my partner and my parents and our 2 well behaved dogs for a week long family break."

    We have all had a lovely time. The cottage is perfectly placed a 2 minute walk into the Cockington Country Oark, which is free to access and offers amazing off lead dog walks with a mix of open green space, woodland and trails. There are a number of cafes in and around the park and a pub which is very friendly and dogs are welcome in the bar area where you can eat. The cottage itself is picturesque with wonderful outdoor space that is very natural with mature trees and shrubs and incredibly peaceful with a little stream. We all loved the garden, however the garden furniture was disappointing as the cushions provided are inadequate to fit the seats. Some of the garden gates are hanging off and need some attention but the property grounds are secure. The kitchen has everything you need however the fridge freezer is very small and I'm grateful the kids weren't with me or I'd have spent every other day at the shop. The beds are comfortable and the property was clean and tidy, some kind of coat hooks in the hallway would be welcome and additional storage for clothing in the upstairs 2nd bedroom. The property is located a short walk, about 15 minutes to the sea front through beautiful water meadows, again great for dogs. Once you reach the seafront left takes you to Torquay or right to Paignton. At a reasonable pace you can be in Torquay in 30 minutes on foot. Apart from a few niggles the holiday was just what we hoped for,peaceful, great for the dogs and with a good central location to visit places nearby. I would recommend and would return.

Your home away from home

Meadow Thatch is an elegant thatched cottage in the idyllic village of Cockington in South Devon, only a short stroll to a beach.

Neutrally decorated and furnished to a high standard, this home is the perfect balance of original period features and unaffected modern decor.

Situated in the traditional village of Cockington, it is the ideal property for a large group or family wanting to experience all the beauty of the surrounding area in a luxurious setting.

The downstairs hallway leads to a light and airy ground-floor bedroom boasting a king-size bed and views over the front garden.

Across the hall is a large family bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower.

With its high ceilings, exposed beams, and breakfast bar, the fully-appointed kitchen offers a wonderfully sociable space for cooking together.

The open-plan living area is spacious yet homely, with the dining and sitting spaces slightly partitioned, creating the illusion of two separate rooms.

Relax together on the sofas discussing what exciting adventures are in store for the rest of your stay, or enjoy a delicious meal at the dining table, with the patio doors opened out into the garden and a warm summer breeze diffusing around the room.

Upstairs are two further bedrooms, again impeccably decorated and furnished, both of which offer beautiful views of the gardens.

One bedroom has a king-size bed and the other a super-king-size bed that can be converted into two single beds if needed.

This room also has the additional option of a sofa bed that can sleep a further two children.

There is also a contemporary family bathroom on this floor featuring a bath and hand-held shower.

Outside, there are three enclosed gardens.

At the front of the property, there is a lawn with a babbling stream running along one side, there is also a gravel area with seating.

At the back of the property, there are two separate enclosed gardens, bisected by the stream.

Both offer lawn and seating areas, one of which is a raised platform with furniture and a barbecue.

The gardens offer a tranquil place to relax, with the only sounds being birdsong and the trickle of the stream.

Cockington is a picturesque centre boasting a number of traditional eateries, shops, and the sixteenth-century manor house, Cockington Court, that has been converted into a thriving arts and crafts centre.

The Court's acreage offers plenty of beautiful walking trails that are dog-friendly and full of fascinating sites.

A short walk is the vibrant seaside resort of Torquay, a busy town with plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops as well as a popular theatre.

Meadow Thatch is a wonderful option for anyone wanting to visit the spectacular South Devon Coast while staying in a luxurious and elegant setting.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

COCKINGTON

Torquay 2 miles; Paignton 3 miles; Exeter 22 miles.

There are a number of villages that lay claim to being quintessentially English, but Cockington, with its narrow country lanes, traditional thatched cottages and charming village pub, is the real deal. Take a walk into the village centre and you will find the Tudor manor house, Cockington Court and its scenic acreage, featuring beautifully restored lakes and points of interest such as the Gamekeepers Cottage. The Manor is now a craft centre offering the opportunity for visitors to watch craftspeople at work and to purchase any number of handmade gifts. If you needed any more reasons to visit this quaint village, it would be its proximity to the bustling capital of the English Riviera, Torquay. Famous for its tropical plants, golden beaches and Victorian frontage, Torquay is a busy seaside resort offering visitors everything from fine dining, sailing and water sports, a popular theatre scene, as well as vibrant nightlife. Despite being only a half an hour walk from this lively centre, Cockington remains an oasis of calm and tranquillity, meaning that visitors can easily enjoy the best of both worlds.
