The Granary at Hutcherleigh Cottages
Sleeps 6+Dog
The Granary and Toad Hall are owned by John and Helen Cottington, who live with their soppy black Labrador, Gemma, in the Farmhouse which is adjacent to the cottages. John and Helen know the area very well and can help with most queries whether it’s the best walks, restaurants, adventure centres, beaches where you can take your dog or even how you can sit in the sun with a drink in hand and watch your children catch crabs. The hamlet of Hutcherleigh is situated in the midst of picturesque unspoilt country side approximately equidistant (about 15 mins dive) from the historic towns of Dartmouth, Kingsbridge and Totnes. The nearest village is Blackawton which is a 5 min drive. Blackawton has two pubs and a post office. Hutcherleigh Cottages will appeal to those who enjoy peace and quiet, tranquillity and clean fresh air yet still be within easy reach of glorious South Devon beaches, dramatic coastal footpaths, country walks and rugged Dartmoor.
There is ample parking and a large, safe, sunny orchard where, when you’ve stooped to walk under a spreading, ancient maple tree and a beautiful weeping beech you will discover old apple trees, picnic tables and barbeques. There’s even a Woodland Cottage where your young children might find Rupert Bear and his friends waiting for them to come and play.

Accommodation Details:
This spacious cottage has a wonderful feel of country life about it and you can sense that it wasn’t many years since the farmhands carried the heavy sacks of grain up the stone steps to be stored in the Granary.
The cottage entered through a porch beneath the old steps to the entrance hall. There is a lovely farmhouse kitchen/dining room which has an old beamed ceiling. There is an oil fired Aga to cook on, which keeps the kitchen as warm as newly baked bread. Also the convenience of a dishwasher, a washer dryer (coin operated), microwave and fridge/freezer. Cross the panelled hallway to the sitting room where there is a wood burning stove, TV/video, DVD. The beamed ceiling and comfortable furniture make this a lovely relaxing room to read, chat watch the television or even play the piano. Up an easy flight of stairs (with fixed stair gates top and bottom) the Granary is spacious and light with high ceilings, roof trusses and views to the orchard. There are two large double bedrooms(one with a four poster bed) both have 5ft beds and a third bedroom with twin beds. There is a good sized family bathroom with shower over bath, WC and basin.
PS There are 17 painted mice hidden in the cottage for you to find.
