“Very pretty cottage, great location, recently renovated.”

Fantastic walks in all directions right outside the front door.

Fantastic walks in all directions right outside the front door.
Mrs Manton-cook February 2020

“A very stylish, comfortable and cosy cottage that perfectly suited the two of us and our dog.”

Lots of walks direct from the cottage and just a couple of minutes walk from the local pub serving excellent home cooked meals. It was everything we could hope for and exceeded our expectations. Maddy keeps the cottage spotlessly clean and the Devon cream tea waiting for us on arrival was a very thoughtful touch.
Mrs Woodroffe February 2020

“Staying at Rookwood was amazing.”

Nice, clean and cosy. Thankyou also to Madeline who made us feel so welcome and gave us helpful tips on areas to visit. Would definitely come back again, in the warmer months.
Mrs Gould January 2020

“Great cottage for 2 plus dog, might be a squeeze for 4 adults and the steep stairs might be a headache with small children or elderly.”

Good location in a lovely friendly village with excellent pub a stroll away across the churchyard. Very cosy and warm with top quality furnishings and very well managed by the excellent Maddie. Good walking on the doorstep, notably through the woods to Fingle Bridge and along the river to Chagford. Highly recommended.
Mrs Harris December 2019

“An extremely well appointed cottage in the very pretty village of Drewsteighton.”

Having Maddy our housekeeper meet us, show us around and settle us in with our complimentary goodies was a nice token and Maddy was extremely professional, friendly and helpful throughout stay, organising taxis as well as helping us with local recommendations for beauty spots, pubs and restaurants. Having the local Drew Arms pub within walking distance was a real benefit and plenty of wonderful walks for our dog on the doorstep.Very comfortable and cozy in front of the wood burner on a cold winters evening!

The property

Located within the idyllic village of Drewsteignton, Rookwood is a brilliant base for a group of four looking to explore the best of Dartmoor National Park.

Holding traditional countryside style intertwined with a stylish interior, this cottage is ideal for friends or families seeking an escape to Devon.

Begin your relaxing retreat in the sitting room, where a woodburning stove offers comfort in the winter months, surrounded by the stylish charm of the room carefully selected by a local interior designer, here you can unwind into one of the colourful sofas with the television providing hours of entertainment, or choose to sit at the dining table with your morning cup of coffee to start the day off right.

The kitchen/diner also makes a lovely spot to spend your mornings; a bright and airy room where you can concoct a delicious treat for the group with the assistance of the good range of appliances in the room.

As you begin to tire, retreat up the stairs to find two well-presented king-size bedrooms, both with zip/link features and their own unique interior, you'll have no trouble in catching up on your rest.

While one of the bedrooms benefits from its own en-suite shower room, a further bathroom can be found on the ground floor, offering both a freestanding bath and a separate shower cubicle, you can choose how best to prepare for your fun-filled day ahead.

Spend a moment or two taking in your surroundings from the rear courtyard as your canine companion plays at your feet, and head out to explore the local village of Drewsteignton.

Situated within the National Park, you'll find a plethora of walking routes on your doorstep, surrounded by a wide range of outdoor adventures perfect for the thrill seekers of the group, as well as being great for those simply seeking a tranquil retreat.

In close reach of Exeter too with its wide range of amenities and attractions and an impressive history, Rookwood makes a wondrous base from which to explore the many delights of Devon.
