It felt like a true home from home and made the whole week feel special and relaxed. The location was just as wonderful.

There were also plenty of lovely walks right on the doorstep, which were perfect for getting out and enjoying the scenery after festive meals. Overall, it was a fantastic Christmas break filled with great memories, peaceful surroundings, and proper family time. We would highly recommend Michaelmas Cottage and would love to return.

The property

On the edge of Drewsteignton, hidden from the lane, a pretty and spacious, thatched cottage, one of three in an L-shaped terrace.

It has its own beautiful, high walled, enclosed lawned garden (loungers, table/chairs).

Door from garden into large, sunny well-equipped kitchen/dining room (dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, freezer, larder fridge, electric oven/induction hob).

Arched doorway through to living room with electric stove and TV/DVD.

Two staircases (no interconnecting door upstairs): one from the living room up to two bedrooms - a double (TV) and a single and bathroom (suite); the other from the kitchen/dining room up to another double and a single and shower-room (suite).

A wonderfully peaceful place with woodland and riverside walks from the door. Drewsteignton: 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).

Enjoy drinks or a meal in the village square (5 minutes walk) at The Drewe Arms Community Pub (just won Camra Heritage Pub of the Year) or walk down to the beauty spot Fingle Bridge and have lunch on the river at the Fingle Inn (5 mins drive), National Trust Castle Drogo (6 mins drive), Drakes Farm shop (milk, bread, meats etc- 3 mins drive), Cheriton Bishop Convenience shop (mini super - 7 mins drive) 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. The village sits high above the River Teign as it meanders through a spectacular, steep wooded Teign Gorge and has a cluster of ancient cob and thatched cottages surrounding a square, with an ancient church. 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 Caffè & 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.
