Bedroom: With twin beds.. Electric central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Front garden with courtyard. Private parking for 1 car. No smoking.. Tucked away in the timeless hamlet of Dowland, this centuries-old, thatched cottage invites you to step into a storybook escape. Its slanted roof, weathered by history yet lovingly cared for, gives the cottage an instantly cosy charm that wraps around you the moment you arrive. Inside, every corner whispers of the past while offering the comforts of today. The small kitchen flows into a welcoming living area, where an electric wood burner flickers warmly beneath the thatch, and a Smart TV promises quiet evenings after a day of exploring. Downstairs you’ll also find a neat bathroom with a walk-in shower, perfect for refreshing before retreating upstairs. In the bedroom, two single beds rest beneath the eaves, where the gentle slope of the roof makes the space feel snug and peaceful. Step outside and a private, enclosed courtyard garden awaits, offering a quiet spot for morning coffee or a glass of wine as the sun sets, with country walks stretching from the doorstep. The setting is as special as the cottage itself.
Dowland is a place where time feels slower, a hamlet surrounded by open countryside and endless skies. From here, you can wander straight into miles of footpaths, perfect for dog walkers and nature lovers alike. Just a short drive takes you to Winkleigh, a village brimming with character, where you can pick up local produce or stop by a traditional inn. For those who love to cycle or stroll, the famous Tarka Trail winds nearby, tracing rivers, woods, and meadows along one of Devon’s most beautiful routes. And when the sea calls, the golden sands and dramatic coastlines of North Devon’s beaches are just a 45-minute drive away. Whether you spend your days exploring the rolling hills, discovering hidden villages, or soaking up the salty air at the seaside, this cottage offers a true taste of Devon’s history and charm.
