Property code: THECE

Escape to a hilltop hideaway in South Devon for tranquil surroundings, spectacular countryside and views that will take your breath away. Elevated above a working smallholding, take in the sights of Dartmoor National park on the horizon as you explore the grounds and meet the resident animals. Adventure wherever your feet will take you, across moorland treks or around stunning riverside villages, rounding off your day snuggled in front of your own cosy wood burner watching films and savouring a relaxing tipple for two.

Peaceful and inviting, this detached single-level property is placed in an ideal setting for a romantic break. The open-plan living space is decorated in neutral soothing tones, with serene lighting, comfortable sofas and a wood-burner. Enthusiastic cooks will adore the well-equipped kitchen, especially with the temptation of fresh produce available on-site, including seasonal vegetables, fresh eggs and preserves. Dine a deux at the table, or head outside to the shared lawn and BBQ area for an al fresco supper. The double bedroom and en-suite shower room are a welcome sight, simply irresistible after a busy day, having left your muddy boots and coats in the separate outbuilding.

Almost on your doorstep, Dartmoor National Park offers a variety of bridleways through wooded valleys, craggy tors and crystal clear streams less than a mile away. Pause at a quaint hamlet in South Brent, 3 miles away, admiring the remains of watermills and a windmill, or enjoy a hearty lunch at the local pub. The River Dart meanders by and picturesque little villages are studded along the riverbank such as Stoke Gabriel (10.5 miles away), as well as the bustling market town of Totnes (6.5 miles away).

We enjoyed our stay at The Cedars. The owner gave us several suggestions of places to visit/to eat. We had excellent meals at Gather in Totnes, The Seahorse in Dartmouth and The Church House Inn, Rattery. A visit to Coleton Fishacre is a must.

We stayed in the Annex at The Cedars. It is in a beautiful secluded situation just off the Devon Expressway giving easy access to Dartmoor, the South Hams, Plymouth and Cornwall. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and well furnished with plenty of drawer and wardrobe space in the bedroom. The property is dog friendly but did not smell of dog.

Although the cottage was in a remote location it lacked privacey due to the large glass windows being facing the entrance drive and access for the owners to their outdoor premises.However, they did try and avoid looking into the windows as they passed
