About this property

Two bedroom stone cottage near Dartmoor and Devon beaches

Milk Churn Cottage is part of a 17th Century Manor House and is located within a walled courtyard shared by two other cottages with its own private access and car parking facility. The building was previously part of a large working farm and the 'Milk Churn' is where the milk would have been placed before going out for delivery. It has recently been refurbished and boasts a new bathroom along with a lounge and two bedrooms. There is one double bedroom and the other has bunk beds.

The cottage is located close to the main A38 which goes to Plymouth and Cornwall so access to the tourist sites of Devon and Cornwall is very easy. It is within walking distance of the town of Ashburton, known for its Antiques Trail and long history as the centre of the wool and mining industries of days gone by. It is also within walking distance of a pub/restaurant at Furzeleigh Mill as well as the town of Buckfastleigh which hosts the South Devon Steam Railway running to Totnes. Access to Dartmoor is within ten minutes by car and the beaches of South Devon are less than half an hour's drive.

We are currently ensuring that the property remains empty for 36 hours between each guest in order to minimise the risk of Covid19 transmission.

A great find and lovely stay.
We found the accommodation fantastic, very clean, up to date and suitable for our needs. Lovely new kitchen and all round presentation. A small issue was dealt with quickly with great comms from the owners who are friendly and personable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

A quiet getaway
We had a very tranquil time at the cottage. It was clean and well provisoned. An added bonus was that it was only a four minute drive from Buckfast Abbey. We stayed there for a quiet holiday but the location also provides access to oter locations such as Paignton and Torquay. We met the owner of the property and he was very friendly. We are very likely to return in the future.

Erwartungen wurden übertroffen
Wir, als Familie, hatten uns in der Unterkunft von der ersten Minute an wohl gefühlt. Von dem Gastgeber, der in der Nähe wohnt, wurden wir herzlich begrüßt und hatten wertvolle Tipps für Ausflüge und Anderes erhalten. Die Wohnung geht über zwei Stockwerke und alles war sehr sauber und gepflegt. Im EG befinden sich zwei Schlafzimmer und ein Bad, renoviert. Im OG ist der Wohn-, Ess- und Küchenbereich offengehalten. Die Küche ist neu und sehr komfortabel ausgestattet. Es war sogar eine Waschmaschine vorhanden. Durch die hohen Decken und das sichtbare Mauerwerk ist es supergemütlich und man kann sich dort gut aufhalten. Falls man eine Heizung benötigt, lässt sich diese leicht einschalten. Es wird sofort warm. Wegen der Lage muss ich nur einen kleinen Punkt abziehen, da die Autobahn in der Nähe ist und man dies im Außenbereich hörte. Im Haus war jedoch nichts zu bemerken. Wenn wir nochmals nach Devon kommen, dann würden wir wieder hier übernachten. Das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis hat gestimmt. Herzlichen Dank.
