This beautifully converted 18th-century barn is ideally situated for the ‘English Riviera’ and exploring Dartmoor. Situated in the small farming hamlet of Blagdon, located between Torbay and Totnes, it’s less than 3 miles from award-winning sandy beaches in Paignton and fishing harbours in Brixham.

The Cottage adjoins the owner’s home set within its own 400-year old wall, where you will have sole use of the outdoor heated swimming pool, subject to times.

Nearby, there are lots of National Trust properties to visit, coastal paths to walk, Paignton Zoo, or take the steam railway to Dartmouth, or have fun at the local water park. The historic town of Totnes and the River Dart is only 4 miles away. Whilst supermarkets are nearby, our local farm shops provide lots of locally produced supplies. Pubs are a few miles up or down the road.

There is a welcome hamper which includes; Devon Cream Tea, milk, tea, coffee etc. and a bottle of wine. Pool is open for your sole use between 10am and 2pm, except Sundays and measures 10.5m by 5.5m, open from May to September, weather permitting. Other times are available, but are subject to use by guests in the main house. We try to ensure all guests get to enjoy sole use of the pool area. There is a private water supply to this property. Initial fuel for woodburner included, thereafter available locally at cost.

Excellent facilities.
Excellent facilities. Lovely location. We were welcomed with a lovely bottle of wine, milk and bits to keep us going till we got to the local farm shop. Larmas, peacocks, pigs and chickens also welcomed us. Quiet, tranquil, beautiful and rural. The rooms are very clean and the cottage is warm and cosy. Remember to bring some DVD's for the evenings entertainment as the TV isn't a smart one. Highly recommended. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

This is a lovely remote cottage, and only a short drive to Paignton. The cottage is cosy and comfortable, and had all the amenities that we needed. We cooked every day and the kitchen was well supplied. My youngest son loved all the animals! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

This was such an amazing surprise , a beautifully decorated lovely set cottage on the back of Lower Blagdon Manor away from the noisy main roads, picturesque views and the farm animals were a lovely treat. The information provided was brilliant, the facilities were more than adequate with plenty of options in the area for eating out or takeaway. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly visit again. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
