About this property

Tranquil cottage ideal for walkers

Middle Cottage sits in the village of tranquil Cornworthy. Out of the way of the tourist trail, this is a peaceful spot even in the height of the summer. 200-year-old Middle Cottage has been entirely renovated. Solid woods and crisp whites, and with painted and exposed stone walls, its modern living meets age-old character. There are gardens front and back, and views across the rolling countryside. The refurbished inn is close to hand, and it's walking distance to two brilliant waterside pubs.


Accommodation:

The stable door at the front opens into the slate-tile lobby with two steps up to the open-plan ground floor. The kitchen/dining area to the right is well equipped with a washing machine, dishwasher, ceramic hob, fan oven and fridge with ice box, as well as microwave, kettle and toaster. To the left is the living area with a 3-seater sofa and armchair centred around the inglenook fireplace. Beyond the fireplace is the snug area with a 2-seater ‘snuggle' sofa and TV (The TV is on a pivoting wall bracket so it can be watched from the lounge area or the snug). The stairs lead up from the snug to the bedrooms and the family bathroom.

Upstairs guests will find the master bedroom which has an oak framed kingsize bed, furnishings and an annexe that can easily accommodate a travel cot (please advise upon enquiry if you would like one included). The second bedroom has a standard double and furnishings. The family bathroom has a heated slate tile floor, toilet, basin and bath with an electric shower over.

There's electric heating and a wood burner for comfort (the first basket of logs is provided during winter bookings).


Outside:

There are sheltered gardens at the front and the back of the cottage, both with patio areas and tables and chairs so that you can catch the sun at any time of day. Great for enjoying a coffee and croissant in the morning or a cold beer or hot chocolate in the evening.


Parking:

There is space outside to pull up and unload and plenty of unrestricted on-road parking just a few yards away.

Nearby:

The village pub is a 5-minute walk away. A good walk to the neighbouring village of Tuckenhay you will find 2 great waterside pubs or take a short drive to the village of Dittisham where you will find a pub with a village shop and a second riverside pub. Totnes is less than ten minutes by car, as are the superb beaches of Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands. We highly recommend the Hunters Lodge Inn in Cornworthy

A very pleasant stay.
My wife and I were impressed with the cleanliness and quality of the fixtures and fittings. Middle Cottage is ideal for a get away from it all holiday. Dart Valley Cottages were efficient and communicated well. I would certainly recommend and rebook with them.

A fabulous few days
We really enjoyed our 3 night stay at Middle Cottage and when we opened the front door were very pleasantly surprised at how much more spacious it was than it appeared from the outside! The cottage was very clean and well equipped and we enjoyed walks to both the Hunters Lodge and Maltsters Arms (the food was delicious at both) on a couple of evenings. The cottage is well sited for exploring the South Hams and my only regret is that we didn't have time to stay for longer!

Great Week Away
There were two of us and the cottage was great. It sleeps 4 but with 4 adults the living space could be a bit crowded. Everything we needed was there and we enjoyed our stay. We were pre warned about some building work on the cottage next door and as promised it did not disturb us.

A Little Gem and a Relaxing Retreat
We have just returned from a lovely week at gorgeous Middle Cottage. As soon as we opened the front door I knew we were going to love it. It was spotlessly clean and there were some lovely homely touches all around, making it very comfortable. The TV area is also really cosy. Jane kindly left us scones, cream and jam for our arrival so that was a special treat. The little front garden is a mass of pretty flowers and is a real sun trap in the afternoon. I have to admit before we arrived, I was a bit concerned about the lack of on site parking, but we needn't have worried as there was always a spot for us just down the road where about four other cars parked. We never had a problem with parking and we were able to drive right up to the door to unload our luggage. There is also a lovely local pub which serves delicious food and the staff and locals are all very friendly. We ate there every night apart from two and it is within walking distance so no driving involved. Another little gem!
