Dart Cottage

Description

Dart Cottage is a spacious and well-presented three bedroom barn conversion ideal for groups sharing and families alike. Guests can enjoy homecooking and entertaining in the bright open-plan kitchen/diner before settling down and getting cosy beside the wood burner, with a movie on the TV. Alternatively, in warmer months, throw open the large patio doors and spill out onto the patio for some alfresco dining, whilst appreciating the views across the local countryside.

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 barbe-cues, 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.

Dart Cottage can be booked alongside any of the neighbouring cottages, creating the opportunity for multigenerational families to enjoy their own individual spaces or the perfect set up for larger groups. A max of 8 guests can be accommodated with Bovey Cottage, 10 guests with Teign Cottage, 12 with Plym Cottage or up to 18 guests across all four.
