About this property
Wood View Cottage is a homely, fabulously appointed attached cottage enjoying an idyllic location in the countryside of Devon, close to the village of Blackawton. Set in 3.5 acres of serene gardens, with access to a private heated indoor pool, shared only with property owners, as well as displaying breath-taking views and sitting in close proximity to the wonders of Devon, this is the perfect getaway for families to come together and enjoy. As you enter the property, the fresh and light décor makes you feel instantly welcome as you head left into the farmhouse-style kitchen diner. This charming setup comes dressed in a splendid colour scheme and offers a range of excellent appliances; a range cooker and a wooden dining table both bring a rustic country-cottage touch. Adjacently you will find a tasteful, spacious sitting area providing a snug corner sofa, enhanced by floor-to-ceiling windows displaying the most scenic countryside views imaginable. To catch your rest, head into the well-presented double bedroom which benefits from the service of a delightful en-suite bathroom for pure convenience. Via the double bedroom, stairs up into a fabulous little children's bedroom, home to quirky cabin-style twin beds nestled comfortably under the eaves. Wood View Cottage's finest feature comes back on the ground floor; a door leads you into a state-of-the-art swimming pool suite, complete with an indoor heated pool, a changing room and a shower so you can enjoy a swim without having to leave the house. On a rainy day, or during the evenings, head into the wonderfully thoughtful games room, set with a selection of games and activities including pool and darts, and completed with a stunning bar so you can fully unwind. Alternatively, take a stroll throughout the 3.5 acres of beautifully kept gardens, making for the perfectly quiet spot to appreciate this idyllic location from. As well as luscious countryside, the gorgeous coast is just a stone's throw away, with the renowned South West Coast Path playing host to marvellous spots such as Dartmouth and Salcombe, both promising a visit that you will not forget in a hurry. Tour spectacular Devon from this beautiful cottage.
Blackawton is a village on the outskirts of the South Devon aonb, with a pub and a shop. The area is bursting with scenic walking country with the South Hams right on your doorstep. Dartmouth is within reach by car and is certainly worth the trip.

The cottage was very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. We loved the games room and had many games of pool during our stay. We would definitely recommend Wood View cottage.

The pool is very clean and was perfect for our 12 & 9 year old kids. We went in everyday except one. The cottage itself has everything you need with a lovely welcome gift and small touches like dishwasher tabs, black sacks, cling film etc which at previous properties weâve had to purchase. Carole & Peter are lovely and friendly, they are a good source of local information and made us feel comfortable and well looked after. The roads around the area are all single lane so brush up on your reversing skills and be prepared for slower journey times. The games room kept us entertained every night with pool and darts and you use the room just as a family. We would definitely return.
