Charming Character Cottage in Picturesque Village 5 * rated.

Acorn cottage is a spacious one bedroom cottage with a sensitive application of traditional and modern facilities and equipped to a high standard and level of comfort. The large light and airy lounge/diner situated upstairs features a log burner to ensure you remain cosy and comfortable on cold winter evenings.
The attractive patio which is accessed from the lounge is the perfect place to enjoy a cup of tea or glass of wine -much needed after a day exploring the beautiful Devon countryside.
Centrally located in the picture postcard village of Stokeinteignhead with the benefit of a well stocked village shop and the highly rated pub 'The Church House Inn' just a stroll away.
If it's good food you like, we can recommend fabulous pubs & restaurants in the area, with excellent reviews.
We are just a short distance from Shaldon, the Teign estuary and the South Devon coast path offering some fabulous views to sea, the rolling Devon countryside and Just a 5 minute drive to the nearest beach.
Within a short drive there are several other beaches, the Torbay Riviera, golf courses & the stunning Dartmoor National Park-which is well worth a visit.
With so many places to see you really are spoilt for choice, making this charming cottage a perfect escape for couples who wish to explore this lovely area.
So make yourself comfortable, relax and enjoy a glass of wine with our compliments!

The property was in a beautiful area with plenty of walks and lovely scenery. There was a small local shop in the village and a great pub just across the road which served fantastic food. This was just what we needed after a long journey.The cottage was very clean and well kept. The host Maddy was extremely helpful and left a lovely gift for when we arrived.

Beautiful cottage. Well equipped and exceptionally clean. A gorgeous, tranquil garden. The village was picturesque, a very handy community shop that stocked all essentials, lovely village pub and great walks. Maddy and Geoffrey were perfect hosts and the bottle of wine upon arrival was a lovely gesture. I could not fault this property and would highly recommend. Hope to revisit some day soon.

Lovely accommodation

This cottage is really lovely. Great location, nice host and has everything needed for a holiday. The pub in the village is a minutes walk and serves nice food - what more coul you want. We stayed in November but I would like to visit in spring or summer as the garden looks a great place to sit and have a glass of wine.

Good location

The property was perfect for a couple breakaway. Village was extremely pretty with a fantastic pub two minutes walk away. The food was home cooked and plentiful (real ales and great wine list) ate there most nights. The cottage had everything you needed and the owner couldnt have been any nicer or more accommomodating. Little village shop which had most things and the villagers were lovely. Would definitely stay again.
