About this property
Bridestowe 3.4 miles. This detached cottage is situated in the grounds of a mill house in Combebow. Set in 54 acres of woods and meadows, it is a wonderfully peaceful retreat. You enter the open plan living space, all modern and carefully presented with a comfy seating area, a dining area and a step up to the kitchen area. Head on upstairs to your two cosy bedrooms under the eaves, which share the bathroom on the ground floor. To enjoy the birdsong and peace, sit out in your enclosed garden at the front of the cottage, which is lovingly tended with its willow den and arbour draped with wisteria, and enjoy the views over the surrounding woodland whilst you cook supper on the barbecue. Wander the grounds to spot wildlife and marvel at the 12th century mill with its original machinery. The open slopes of Dartmoor nearby are perfect for walking too or visit Lydford Gorge, a stunning natural beauty spot. The towns of Launceston and Okehampton are lively places for browsing shops or eating out. With easy access to the A30 through Devon and Cornwall, Honey House is an excellent base for exploring the delights of the West Country.
Lifton is a small village in the upper Tamar Valley, close to Launceston and the passing A30 road into Cornwall. This pretty community, once sitting astride the old A30 London to Penzance trunk road, is blessed with a village shop and post office, a superb pub and 3 top quality restaurants.

He introduced himself and emailed clear travel instructions and information about the accommodation and useful information. He welcomed us when we arrived and checked that we were okay during our stay. The house was clean and comfortable. The garden was a delight to sit and wander in. We both enjoyed our stay.

The cottage was very homely and immaculate, the grounds were stunning and the location was excellent for the activities we wanted in both Devon and Cornwall. Richard was very friendly and helpful; his dog Jess also visited us a few times, which was adorable! If you love nature and enjoy the peace and quiet, this is the perfect place to stay.
