About this property

Blackawton 1.8 miles. Tucked away in the breath-taking landscapes of Devon in the peaceful and rural hamlet of Hutcherleigh, is this picture-perfect property, Toad Hall Cottage. The cottage is blessed with a picturesque orchard. A traditional stone cottage with exposed beams and magnificent hand-painted ceilings, this romantic abode provides the perfect getaway for couples seeking an escape to the gorgeous English countryside. Admire the character and charm of this warm and homely abode as you step inside the open-plan living space, where you can enjoy many relaxing evenings snuggled up in front of the woodburning stove with a captivating book, or indulging in a bottle of fine wine and a delicious dinner for two that has been lovingly prepared in the quaint yet well-equipped kitchen. Wander across to the striking four-poster bed and discover the intricate details that lie within the rural scenes that decorate the ceiling. Just a few steps away, a bright and airy shower room provides a wonderful space to prepare for an action-packed day exploring the very best that Devon has to offer. Hop in the car and head for the historical market town of Totnes, home to impressive ruins of Totnes Castle, The Time House Art Museum, and Leechwell Gardens, as well as the monument of Brutus Stone and Vire Island. Over in Paignton, you can enjoy a fun-filled day at the Paignton Zoo Environmental Park or wander the colourful Victorian Pier with a delicious portion of Fish and Chips, before heading out onto the soft sandy shores of Paignton Beach. Spend your days hiking through the luscious moorlands of Dartmoor National Park and discover breath-taking landmarks and attractions such as Bellever Tor, the Dartmoor Prison Museum and the Merrivale Prehistoric Settlement. Head south to the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and explore the Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve, or continue along the rugged South West Coast Path towards Start Point Light House and Lannacombe Beach, taking in the spectacular sea views along the way. Make the most of precious time with your significant other on a memorable stay at Toad Hall Cottage.

Set in wonderful Devon countryside, lies the charming village of Blackawton. Home to a handy community shop selling all the essential items, as well as vibrant local pub serving up hot meals, visitors to the area have all their needs covered. The encompassing towns of Totness, Dartmouth and Salcombe are filled with exciting attractions, imposing landmarks and beautiful beaches, whilst slightly further afield the small town of Ivybridge is well-worth a visit.
