Property Description
The Cowshed is quality accommodation, quirky yet spacious, a 15-20 minute walk to a range of local amenities including a small supermarket, deli, bakers, butchers, chemist, Post Office, cafes, & good pubs. There are lovely country views from the property both to the front and rear. There are pine floors throughout. Downstairs there is a large open plan living area with a log-burner and a fitted kitchen, fully tiled wet room with heated floor, large sunny, private courtyard with side entrance door. Upstairs is the open plan bedroom, with kingsize bed, original beamed vaulted ceiling, sitting area (sofa bed) and balcony with seating perfect for breakfast and evening drinks, watching the sun go down.
This large room has lovely views; Juliet balcony to the front and and patio doors to the rear, opening onto a decked balcony with glass panels and stainless steel handrails, overlooking the walled courtyard garden. The garden has outside furniture, chiminea, a water feature and garden art. Nearby, Bovey Castle in a magnificent setting, has excellent golf, fine dining and bistro. National Trust Castle Drogo is a few miles away and many other attractions and beauty spots are within easy travelling distance. Dartmoor has so much to offer, rugged tors and beautiful landscapes, quaint villages and river walks. There are the famous Dartmoor ponies and Highland cattle grazing with sheep on the open moor, many good pubs as you tour around and tea rooms so you can experience the Devon Cream Tea! You will never tire of the scenery, sunsets and peaceful locations, visitors often return again and again and find new treasures each time. We welcome short breaks and can be flexible with changeover day, depending on other bookings.
We do not allow dogs in the property, and is a non-smoking property. We are happy to offer short breaks in low and mid seasons, some periods with NHS discount please enquire.
Outside:
The Cowshed has its own private walled garden, decked throughout with planters and bed of hostas surrounding the water feature. Wall art and chiminea for autumn evenings, table and chairs and sunloungers for lazy days. The courtyard is an incredibly sunny spot and enjoys sun into the early evening. The last of the sun can be accessed from the first floor balcony for an evening drink or al fresco meal. There is ample parking on the main driveway and from the bedroom to the front of the property you have lovely country views and can watch our hens and ducks enjoying Sloncombe life. Occasionally you can see deer and other wildlife in the paddock opposite. We are surrounded by fields and farm land in a small hamlet, a truly peaceful place yet not far from the village for essentials. There are walks directly from the property if you choose to leave the car at The Cowshed for a change. Another Devon property is Morocco House. moortoseacottages

Schöne Tage im Dartmoor
Diesen Sommer durften wir ein paar sehr schöne Tage in unserer Ferienwohnung verbringen.
Der ehemalige Kuhstall ist schön wohnlich eingerichtet. Leider hatten wir mit dem Wetter etwas Pech, so konnten wir den schönen, windgeschützten Innenhof nicht so nutzen, wie wir es gerne getan hätten.
Das Ferienhäuschen ist schön gelegen und man kann diverse Tagestouren von dort aus starten. Im Vorfeld hatte Wendy uns einige Anregungen zukommen lassen, die wir gerne angenommen haben.
Darüber hinaus stand sie auch gerne mit Rat und Tat zur Seite.
Unsere Kinder hatten große Freude an den Enten und Hühnern, die auf dem Grundstück leben.
Da das Dartmoor ein dünn bewohnter Landstrich ist, ist man grundsätzlich auf sein Fahrzeug angewiesen.

Wonderful holiday home right on Dartmoor.
Great facilities for up to 4 people. Dishwasher, washing machine including tumble dryer - simply everything is available. The road to the apartment itself is an experience in itself. Beautifully situated just outside Moretonhampstead. From there you can quickly reach the moor, Exeter or Torquay by the sea.
We'd love to come back.

Pleasant Stay in Dartmoor
Really nice owners, in a really relaxing atmosphere of Dartmoor. We enjoyed it to stay there in the fully equipped old cowshed, modern furniture included. Space was for the four of us more than enough. The position was perfect to get within not a lot of time by car anywhere else in Dartmoor. If we will return to Dartmoor, for sure there again

Nice Cowshed
Loveley decorated holiday home with a terrace. Wendy and Mark are very attentive landlords. The holiday home is the ideal place to explore Dartmoor.
Thank you,

The Cowshed
The Cowshed is an exceptionally well-converted and furnished, with everything that you need for a comfortable stay. Communication with the owners was easy and we had everything that we needed in the property. We especially enjoyed the balcony and the very spacious bedroom. It is in a beautiful part of Devon, on the edge of Dartmoor but close to the small town of Moretonhampstead and the village of Chagford.
