About this property

Perfectly located to explore South Devon. From the doorstep walks along the river dart to Totnes and three very local pubs. Within east driving distance to Dartmoor and the best beaches in South Devon.

Architecturally, Hillside Ashprington is a gem, with stone walls, a slate roof, and a combination of original features and judicious modernising touches. Downstairs, the main living space suggests charm and rustic comfort, with a wood-burning stove, high ceilings, and sumptuous soft furniture. On the same floor you’ll find the excellent kitchen, with everything you need to whip up a slap-up breakfast, pack a picnic for exploring Devon, or prepare a feast for four hungry travellers at the end of the day. Upstairs you’ll find two delightful bedrooms, each with a king-sized bed, splendid views, and Egyptian Cotton bedlinen. Next door, choose between a decadent rainfall shower, or recline in the slipper-style bath tub with a specially chosen glass of local wine, taking in the soothing limestone walls.

Perfect in every way!

This is the kind of place that you just never want to leave. It defines the experience of staying in a characterful home instead of a hotel room. The cottage is in a small village in beautiful South Devon (be prepared for narrow roads for the final approach). There is a very good pub next door and an old church just across the street. Nearby are several other good pubs, rivers and two fun towns to explore, Totnes and Dartmouth. You could easily spend a week exploring within a 15 mile radius. We chose this location for access to Dartmoor and the South West Coast Path. The cottage is tastefully appointed with just the right combination of old and new furnishings. There is a lovely and private back garden to relax in. Again, it is so perfect. I am from the U.S. and could not have been happier with this cottage! Thank you to our host.

Why they chose this property

The location and setting is just perfect to explore Dartmoor and the South Devon coast. The cottage is a gem and the village is " picture perfect" with an amazing pub to boot!

Many guests choose to spend their trip gently pottering around this typical ‘estate village’, touring the local vineyard and otherwise staying close to home base. That said, for families, couples and friends who fancy straying further afield, you’ll be pleased to find that fine cuisine, culture, architecture and shopping, as well as of course sport, can be found close by.

Dartmoor National Park an easy drive which will take you through the marvellous market town of Ashburton. Totnes is just three miles away, and can accessed by road, cycle path, or a charming foot trail. The cottage is also in close proximity by car to some of the finest stretches of coast in the South West. Whether you’re a sunbather, swimmer, canoer or fishing enthusiast, the rapturous beaches at Wonwell, Mothercombe, Thurlestone and Bigbury are guaranteed to delight you.

Shorter stays of less than 7 days may be available if you wish to request.
