Primrose Cottage is heartbreakingly pretty. Whitewashed cob with a thatched roof, original beams and stone fireplace, and rambling roses in the small enclosed garden, it's a charming Dartmoor holiday cottage in the picturesque village of Drewsteignton, within walking distance of the village Church and The Old Inn fine dining restaurant. There's space for four people to sleep in two bedrooms, with dogs and children welcome, so it is ideal for couples or families. Primrose Cottage is steeped with centuries of welcoming hospitality you can feel as soon as you cross the threshold. If you're looking for a comfortable, homely base to explore Dartmoor's incredible scenery, this characterful holiday home is as good as it gets.
Drewsteignton is in north Dartmoor - a landscape that attracts people who like a little adventure in their lives. There are footpaths accessible from the cottage gate, leading through the beautiful River Teign valley. Energetic guests will enjoy the hilly 15-mile route between the village and Morchard Bishop. However, shorter and more gentle walks go beside the river and through the stunning countryside around Drewsteignton, including one to the riverside Fingle Bridge Inn, barely a mile from the cottage. Dartmoor is known for its moors and tors and is popular for mountain biking, horse riding, and climbing with routes including the West Devon Way, Granite Way, and Two Castles Trail.
Dartmoor is a favourite year-round holiday destination for thousands of people for the beauty and variety of the landscape, attractions, towns and villages. North Dartmoor protects a wealth of flora and fauna that thrive in the rugged landscape, sheltering around the tors, in valleys and moorland. Local attractions include the Okehampton Adventure Park, castles at Okehampton and Launceston, National Trust properties like Castle Drogo, and Exeter's cathedral, shops and restaurants. Walk or fish the shores beside Fernworthy Reservoir before stopping at nearby Chagford for lunch and window shopping. A historic old stannary town, Chagford has a butcher, bakery, dairy, deli, newsagent, small supermarket, excellent hardware store and an all important wine shop. A day at the seaside is as easy as a 40-minute drive to the English Riviera with beautiful beaches and the beaches on Devon's glorious Jurassic coast.
Primrose Cottage is available for holiday bookings all year round. Guests rave about its comfort and charm, and how it feels more like a home than a rental thanks to the owner's welcoming touches. Many visitors return year after year, which is the biggest testament to its appeal.
