Thatched Cottage

Newton Abbot and its surrounding countryside sit on the edge of Dartmoor's reach, where rural Devon meets accessible market-town amenities. Thatched Cottage occupies this transition well: a converted farmhouse from the 1600s, listed for its age and character, now functioning as substantial family or group accommodation within the town itself.

The property arranges itself across three floors and holds six bedrooms—five with en suites—plus five bathrooms total. Downstairs, a games room with pool table and dartboard opens onto the main living and dining space. The kitchen comes equipped for proper cooking: electric range, dishwasher, and all the basics for feeding a crowd. Upstairs, bedrooms range from an emperor bed to zip-and-link twins that convert to super-kingsize on request. All are furnished straightforwardly with televisions. Essentials—heating, electricity, linen, towels, and Wi-Fi—are covered. You also have a utility room with washer, dryer, and tumble dryer for longer stays.

Outside, an enclosed garden includes a private hot tub for five, seating areas, barbecue, and parking for ten cars. The property suits large families, groups of friends, or those needing substantial space. One dog can stay free. Smoking is not permitted. Arrive after 5pm and depart by 10am.
