Description
Monkstone Cottage has been sympathetically converted from an old farm building which was originally a stable, piggery and cart shed. It is detached from the owners16th century farmhouse and has beautiful views up to Brentor Church on Dartmoor to the South. To the North you look at open countryside for as far as you can see.
The property has ample parking near the door and easy access for those who are not so able. There is an enclosed garden and patio area with garden furniture, sun loungers and a barbecue provided. Beyond the garden is a paddock area where dogs can be exercised.
Inside the cottage the spacious lounge/diner is open to the rafters and gets bathed in sunshine throughout much of the day. For long winter evenings in snuggle up on the sofa in front of the log fire. A separate kitchen has everything you would expect including a dishwasher.
The luxury bathroom has a deep roll top bath with a rain type shower over it, perfect for a long soak after a day out walking on the moor. Being well away from any traffic noise guarantees a peaceful nights sleep and this is also helped by the pocket sprung double bed in the romanticly styled bedroom.
An environmently friendly wood pellet heating and hot water system insures Monkstone Cottage is a comfortable all year round choice of accommodation.
To help you get into the holiday mood a Devon cream tea will be ready on your arrival and whenever possible the owners will be on hand to give advice on places to visit and help with anything to ensure you have the perfect holiday.
