Grattan Manor Cottages - Grattan Cottage

A Grade II listed cottage on the Grattan Manor estate near Bow combines period character with modern comfort. The building sits within extensive grounds that include an old orchard, large lawned areas, and a freshwater spring said to mark Devon's geographic centre. Two bedrooms sleep four—a super king on the ground floor and two singles upstairs—with one bathroom. The cottage is yours alone, entirely separate from the other property on-site.

Ground floor rooms include a living room with a smart TV, dining room with a woodburner, and a well-equipped kitchen with electric oven, induction hob, dishwasher and all the essentials for self-catering. Upstairs, both bedrooms have their own TVs. Heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are included; logs for the woodburner too. A utility room has a washing machine and tumble dryer, and there is separate ground-floor toilet.

The cottage comes with a raised gazebo and access to a barbecue hut in the orchard, plus a patio with garden furniture. One dog stays free and has the run of the grounds, though it must be kept on a lead. A shared outdoor swimming pool opens during summer months. An all-weather tennis court is available if you bring equipment; croquet can be arranged. The coast is within reach, and the setting suits anyone wanting a quiet break away from bustle. No smoking indoors.
