About this house rental
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, we also have Cornwall cottages. moortoseacottages

Ideal place to unwind. Very quiet and peaceful with good restaurants close by. The Cowshed is comfortable and well equipped and our host was very welcoming and happy to assist with any queries.

Had a lovely few days in this beautiful barn. It was a home from home and had everything i needed. The upstairs room is wonderful for enjoying the scenery and relaxing! Wendy was fabulously helpful in providing directions and i'd gladly comeback!

Very nice property. Probably not the best time of year to visit Devon, (very wet).Host very accommodating and accessible.
5.0 / 10.0·Aug 2021
Very enjoyable and relaxed stay in this characterful, luxury barn which is completely modernised to a high standard including dimmable sets of ceiling lights. Clean and dust-free. Secluded location in the grounds of the manor but with private walled garden overlooked by your own balcony off the very spacious bedroom with TV and sofa. All other facilities are on the ground floor including a bathroom with good shower and a well-equipped kitchen-diner/lounge area with TV. Wifi worked well. Location good, close to Moretonhampstead and well positioned for exploring Dartmoor. Wendy was friendly and helpful, just next door. Friendly kitten came in through open bathroom window but left promptly the same way when requested! The overall experience has left us thinking of moving to Dartmoor!
