    “Our stay at Bowbeer Barn was thoroughly enjoyable.”

    The hosts were very friendly and helpful and the fishing in the pool was great. The cottage was clean and comfortable although due to lack of space there was no cupboards to store our food supplies for the week and the internet was intermittent. There was a wide range of animals in the adjoining field Aylesbury and other ducks, geese, goats, bulls and cattle and the cottage has a good surrounding area which we made full use of. Would readily return if stopping in the area.

    Glad to hear you enjoyed your holiday. It was unfortunate that the internet was intermittent during your stay. We have a Starlink dish and this is the first time we have had any issues. We have had a computer engineer visit who has tested and rebooted the system and has confirmed all is working fine. We look forward to you visiting again. Property Owner

To one side and at the back, a neat enclosed garden (table/chairs, barbecue) with lovely long meadow views to Dartmoor.

Carp fishing in small pond available (bring your own rods).

Much thought and attention to detail has been given to this excellent cottage.From the garden, steps up to open-plan living/dining/kitchen (slimline dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, fridge-freezer, electric oven/gas hob) with oak floor, TV/DVD, Amazon Fire stick and woodburner.

Stairs (stairgate) down to two bedrooms - a double (6' bed) with en suite bathroom (suite, shower over bath), and a twin with en suite shower-room (suite).

Lobby with space for coats/boots and door to front.

A great place to enjoy tranquillity and star-gaze.

Drewsteignton: With it own pub run and brought by the local community in exceptionally pretty village (church) on a ridge a mile from the most spectacular part of the River Teign valley (wooded river-bank and heathland walks).

Marvellous scenery; fishing; extraordinary Castle Drogo (National Trust); Chagford, 3 miles; the open moor, 6; Exeter, 14.

Drewsteignton is a chocolate box village resting between Whiddon Down and Exeter in the Dartmoor National Park, Devon.

A choice of attractions include the National Trust's Castle Drogo, a country house with a medieval design, along with a selection of scenic walks to Hunter's Tor or through Stone Lane Gardens. Within easy reach of the village is the market town of Chagford where you can find further attractions and amenities such as an outdoor swimming pool, The Old Forge Cafè & Restaurant, and the Three Hares Gallery showcasing local artwork. Further afield, you'll find the many walks and historic sites of Dartmoor National Park including Becky Falls Ancient Woodland Park, Blackingstone Rock, and Canonteign Falls.
