Set in its own courtyard, this quaint one-bedroom barn conversion boasts plenty of character features, surrounded by endless rolling countryside, ideal for those seeking a truly tranquil bolthole. Famous for its quarries and stone used in the construction of both Dartmouth and Kingswear Castles, Cornworthy is a historic, picturesque village with a thriving community backed by beautiful rolling hills. Jump back in time and aboard a heritage steam train at the award-winning South Devon Railway 6 miles away to admire the breathtaking scenery along the stunning valley of the River Dart between Buckfastleigh and Totnes. Explore one of the best-preserved examples of a Norman motte and bailey castle in the country at Totnes Castle (6 miles) and enjoy stunning views over Totnes at the top of your climb of the keep, or a peaceful picnic on the grounds under the shelter of age-old trees.

The spacious yet cosy ground floor of the cottage comprises an open-plan living/dining area, flooded by natural light from the expanse of glass patio doors and picture windows at the rear of the space. Two comfortable chairs surround a characterful wood burner and TV in the living area, with a farmhouse-style table and chairs nestled in an intimate space behind. Partitioned away from this area you’ll find a compact kitchen, well-equipped with everything you need to cater. You’ll also find the family bathroom on this level as well as a handy utility cupboard under the stairs. Upstairs, the mezzanine level offers an additional relaxed living room featuring a leather sofa, rocking chair and panoramic views of the cottage and surrounding countryside across the wooden balustrade. You’ll find a spacious double bedroom underneath the eaves at the rear of the mezzanine, complete with a sloping ceiling and Velux window enjoying views of the garden and beyond.

The patio doors at the rear of the cottage open out onto a delightful enclosed lawned garden with mature landscaped borders to provide the perfect private spot to admire the far-reaching countryside views whilst dining alfresco.

We had a wonderful week away at Southills Cottage. A cosy, comfortable and well equipped cottage with so much character. A lovely private garden space too with outstanding views. We will definitely be returning.

Our 3rd holiday at Southills Cottage and we've really enjoyed our stay again. The weather wasn't so good this time, but we just spent more time here unwinding in the peace and quiet, and even completed the 'Pooh Sticks' jigsaw. We spent a bit of time in the garden once it brightened up a little, and loved visits from Ollie too!

Beauiful setting - so peaceful! Lovely greeting from Ollie who made himself at home! Ideal base, access is a little narrow in the lanes though! A well appointed and comfortable cottage.

A very comfortable cottage, the garden looked lovely too. Totnes was a great place to visit, especially the market on Friday and Saturday. Berry Pomeroy Castle and Cafe are worth a visit. Walking on Dartmoor and Hunter's Lodge are recommended.

Another brilliant holiday, lost count of how many times we've been here. Perfect weather, lots of walking, mainly on the coast path. Jet skiing with Jet Set Go from Torbay.

Beautiful location, so quiet! Enjoyed our visits from the cat and the chickens. The cottage is clean and cosy, everything we needed was here! Had three meals at Hunter's Lodge - food was excellent, with very welcoming staff and Landlord. The weather has been mostly kind to us, thank you!

Equipment / furnishing not at the standard of other properties. Chipped and cracked plates and bowls, this had already been notified to the owners by pasted visitors. Stayed for two weeks, no change of bedding and towels.

Beautiful location and handy for some great pub meals at Hunter's Lodge, Cornworthy (a walk away), also liked Waterman's Arms and The Maltster's (both a short drive). Enjoyed the boat trip from Dittisham to Greenway, and Coleton Fishacre had brilliant gardens and amazing sea views. Swimming at Blackpool Sands was lovely, and Overbecks (Salcombe) wiRead moreth impressive views over the bay. We liked the chickens... and their eggs! Hide
