About this property
This pretty, thatched cottage is tucked away on the edge of the picturesque Devon village of Drewsteignton. One of three lovely cottages hidden from the lane, it is brilliantly peaceful. From the garden, you step into a big kitchen with dining area, and from there through an arch into a lovely cosy sitting room with electric stove. In traditional style, two separate staircases lead you upstairs, one to two bedrooms with a bathroom, the other to two more bedrooms with shower room. The two upstairs spaces don't connect, so are handily private for two families or couples. The lawn garden is charming, enclosed by high walls and with loungers and table and chairs for relaxing in the sun. This is a lovely area for walking from the village, with footpaths criss crossing through woodland and beside the River Teign. Enjoy drinks or a meal at the riverside pub, Fingle Inn (5 mins drive), National Trust Castle Drogo (6 mins drive), Drakes Farm shop (milk, bread, meats etc- 3 mins drive), Drakes Café (fab breakfasts, meals coffee and lots of farm animals to see - 3 mins drive), Cheriton Bishop Convenience shop (mini super - 7 mins drive), village pub the Drewe Arms is re-opening in March 2024. Browse the interesting little shops in Chagford or head for city thrills in the cathedral city of Exeter, just 14 miles away. Michaelmas Cottage is a peaceful place for a relaxing break or Devon walks.
Drewsteignton sits high above the River Teign as it meanders through a spectacular steep wooded Teign Gorge. It is a chocolate box village with a cluster of ancient cob and thatched cottages surrounding a square, complete with ancient church.

Paul
Itâs a great cottage, very homely, and well equipped. The location is great for dog walks around Fingle Bridge and many small towns and villages are just a short drive away. So pleased The Drewe Arms is back open and it still has the same charm and quirkiness it had before. Paul, Charlie, Harry, Izzy, and Harvey.

Spacious with everything you would need in the kitchen. Perfect enclosed garden and fitted stairgates for dogs. The sleeping accommodation (even post COVID) is perfect for two couples or friends, with separate staircases at either end of the property.

Tastefully furnished and well stocked kitchen, useful information, books and games provided if required. Couldn't find fault at all.
