    “A great property.”

    Loved the sociable open plan living area. Good sized functional bedrooms and a nice bathroom. Really warm and comfortable. Attention to a few simple maintenance things would bring the property up to five stars. 1. Fix the exterior light (dark and dangerous up exterior steps without it) 2. Replace broken cutlery knives (they pull apart) 3. A decent frying pan that works on halogen hob (the only one that works on the hob is dreadful) 4. A good depth non stick wok type pan with a lid would be great ...

    Loved the sociable open plan living area. Good sized functional bedrooms and a nice bathroom. Really warm and comfortable. Attention to a few simple maintenance things would bring the property up to five stars. 1. Fix the exterior light (dark and dangerous up exterior steps without it) 2. Replace broken cutlery knives (they pull apart) 3. A decent frying pan that works on halogen hob (the only one that works on the hob is dreadful) 4. A good depth non stick wok type pan with a lid would be great for making bolognaise/risotto type food otherwise you have to use a saucepan which ends up sticking. 5. Some tumbler glasses. 6. More cupboard space available for guests food would be great. Most guests unlikely to need cake making utensils. A few tweaks and this is a really great property. Thank you!

About the location

DREWSTEIGNTON

Chagford 3.6 miles; Okehampton 11.2 miles; Exeter 14.2 miles

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, complete with a 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 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.

Due to the size of the water tank in comparison to the bath, it is not possible to fill the bath completely with hot water, the hot water will fill the bath to approximately half way, this information can be found in the information folder at the property.

Please note - The village shop is temporarily closed until further notice. The Drewe Arms community pub within the village is due to open around March/April 2024 and will serve food. Fingle Bridge is approx 1 mile away and serves good food in a delightful river side setting, Chagford, approx 3.6 miles is a busy little town with several shops and pubs
