Bovey Cottage

Description

Oozing character and charm, Bovey Cottage is a wonderful couples escape, ideally situated for exploring the very best South Devon has to offer. With high ceilings, exposed beams, natural wooden flooring and a wood burning stove, guests are presented with a beautiful, cosy space to truly kick back and relax in comfort, after a day out exploring. Additionally, with use of a shared heated indoor pool and hot tub, should the weather be less favourable or a lazy day simply be the order of the day, guests need look no further than a stroll around the communal gardens and grounds before relaxing in the comfort of the estate facilities.

Peacefully tucked away in a small hamlet amongst the picturesque rolling hills of South Devon, Lower Knowle Cottages consists of 3 attractively renovated barn conversions and 1 stone cottage, all benefitting from delightful communal grounds, an indoor heated swimming pool and outdoor hot tub. Situated at the top of a delightful, gently sloping valley and nestled on the edge of mature woodland, with views across local countryside, Lower Knowle Cottages offers its guests the opportunity to fully shake off the stresses of everyday life, enjoy summer barbecues, quiet picnics in the orchard, excellent walking opportunities and plenty of space to unwind with furry four-legged friends.

Just a short distance to the popular village of Broadhempston, with its two village pubs and local village stores and coffee shop, Lower Knowle Cottages is equidistance between the renowned hidden coves and sandy beaches of the English Riviera and the rugged expanses of Dartmoor National Park, as well as just a short journey to the wonderful historic market town of Totnes.
