About The Cottage

Nestled in the heart of West Devon, The Cottage, Higher Kellacott has been designed exclusively for couples seeking a peaceful escape to the country. Situated on a smallholding in a peaceful rural Devon hamlet, it is the perfect base for couples to enjoy an extended holiday, birthday or anniversary celebration or short break.

This charming one bedroom cottage has been thoughtfully designed to ensure your utmost comfort. Featuring a fully equipped kitchen, spacious living area, large bedroom, and a luxurious bathroom, it provides the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday or a romantic short break. Every detail has been considered to create a warm and peaceful retreat where you can truly unwind. French windows open from the sitting room onto a sun drenched patio, ideal for al fresco dining, relaxing in the sun or simply soaking up the tranquility of your surroundings. Providing everything you need for your stay, the Cottage has been thoughtfully furnished to create a welcoming home from home, where you can relax and unwind in total peace and quiet after a busy day out exploring.

Set in beautiful countryside, with panoramic views to Dartmoor and beyond, the Cottage is just 2 miles from the A30, giving guests excellent access to major tourist destinations, popular Cornish beaches, famous landmarks including the Lydford Gorge White Lady waterfall, Tintagel Castle, St Michael's Mount, the Eden Project and numerous National Trust properties. Furthermore, Dartmoor National Park is just 20 minutes drive, offering many beautiful walks, cycling paths and wild swimming pools.

Despite its rural location, there are many pubs and restaurants in the vicinity, with ample local amenities nearby for groceries; the award winning Strawberry Fields Farm Shop is just a few miles away. Guests can also arrange for online grocery delivery, freeing up time for rest and relaxation.

Location (Devon)

The Cottage accommodation comprises:

The Ground Floor
This features a bright and fully equipped kitchen, complete with a convenient serving hatch to the sitting room and dining area. Modern amenities include an electric hob, dishwasher, microwave and espresso machine, ensuring everything you need for a comfortable stay.
Leading from the kitchen, the separate sitting room is a light-filled and airy space designed for relaxation. A cozy electric woodburner adds warmth and charm, while a comfortable sofa provides the perfect spot to unwind in the evening. A delightful reading alcove, stocked with a selection of books, is perfect for taking in views of the garden through the French windows. These open onto a sunny patio, inviting you to step outside and enjoy the fresh countryside air.

The First Floor
The bedroom has been thoughtfully designed to create a warm and inviting retreat. At its heart is a stunning wooden super king-size bed with a luxurious memory foam mattress, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. Wake up to breathtaking, far-reaching views towards Dartmoor, an ideal spot to watch the sunrise if you're an early riser.

The beautifully designed bathroom offers both style and comfort, featuring a relaxing bath and a spacious shower. Natural stone and glass mosaic tiles blend seamlessly with large Spanish Marcello tiles, all complemented by warm sage green walls.
A lighted mirror with a built-in Bluetooth speaker adds a modern touch, perfect for setting a soothing ambiance.

Patio, Gardens & Outside Areas
French Windows lead out from the sitting room on to a large patio, with dining table and chairs. This area is in full sun throughout the day and is a great place to enjoy al fresco dining, whether breakfast, lunch or dinner. An awning is available for a little shade on the hottest of days in the sun!

Opposite the patio is a private garden, where you can enjoy the sunshine from morning till sunset.
Dartmoor View is a shared seating area, with sun loungers providing shade on a hot afternoon. Also great for a sunny morning breakfast.
The patio is also a perfect area for a yoga or meditation practice, as is Dartmoor View, both of which attract the early morning sun.

Opposite the Cottage, there is an additional shared area, Dartmoor View, which is a fully fenced area with stunning views to Dartmoor, featuring a bench for picnicing and sun loungers for enjoying a relaxing read in the sun. There is also an orchard with bench, perfect for reconnecting with nature or enjoying the morning sun in this peaceful space.
