Description

In Combebow, a private, detached little house (originally used for storing and bottling honey) in 54 acres of meadows and bluebell woods through which you are welcome to walk, with the River Lew tumbling past (private fishing). Also in the grounds are the owners' house and a 12th century mill registered with English Heritage - all the original machinery is still there. To its front, an enclosed garden, well-tended and much loved, with terrace (table/chairs, barbecue), wisteria arbour and willow 'igloo', serene wooded views and abundant bird life. Inside, it is neat, modern and well done with terracotta flooring in open-plan living/dining/kitchen with MP3 player, Smart TV and step up to kitchen area (dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, fridge-freezer, electric cooker); attractive downstairs bathroom (suite, shower over bath). Open tread stairs up to landing with step up to two bedrooms - a double and a twin, both with Velux windows and sloping ceilings. An oasis of tranquillity.

Okehampton (small town, golf, tennis, indoor swimming pool, cinema), 8 miles. Launceston (town), 10 miles. Good base for touring Devon and Cornwall (easy access to A30).

The cottage was brilliant and it's location could not be better for visiting numerous National Trust houses in the area.

The host Richard was fantastic and could not have been be more helpful. I would absolutely recommended this cottage.

Honey house was an ideal base for our holiday.

Ideal for families with young children(2). We loved the picturesque setting, the bird feeder and going down to the river over the bridge. With it's central location it was usually within an hour's drive of the places we wanted to visit. Only downside was the bloody M5 to get to it!

We had a fantastic holiday in Honey House.

It felt like home away from home. So comfortable, beautifully furnished, clean and everything we might have needed was there. The garden is absolutely stunning and we have happily spent hours watching the birds right outside the living room window. Richard was very welcoming, helpful and happy to be contacted if we needed him. PS: Thank you for the welcoming goodies, we all appreciated it after a long journey. Honey House is a wonderful base for exploring Devon and Cornwall. We are hoping to come and stay again soon.
