Ideally situated between the fantastic golden sands of Devon’s south coast and the exquisite Dartmoor National Park, this fabulous cottage is part of a well-maintained complex that boasts a shared heated indoor swimming pool, a children’s play area and views of the lush rolling hills that this county is famous for. The property is steeped in period features and home comforts to make your retreat as warm and inviting as possible.

As you enter the property, you will be greeted by the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with exposed whitewash brick interior, wooden beams and a traditional wood burner. The delightful kitchen makes great use of autumnal tones to add that extra feeling of warmth, whilst wood finishes maintain its rustic charm. Upstairs, guests will find three bedrooms (two doubles and one twin), which share a contemporary style bathroom with shower over the bath and WC. Back in the lounge, French doors open out to the garden where guests have access to a BBQ and garden furniture - perfect for al fresco dining.

We loved our stay. The downstairs space and the garden were brilliant for relaxing. The beds were comfy and the cottage dealt well with some really hot days. The swimming pool was brilliant. Most of the time we were the only ones in there. The little playground was perfect for our 4 and 2 year olds.

Blackbird cottage was a fantastic place to stay. The house is lovely and has fantastic views over the countryside, I think it's the best located house in the newhouse barton complex. The shared facilities were perfect for our toddler and all in great condition. I've never been to a property that has such a well equipped kitchen. The local roads werRead moree extremely narrow, I wasn't comfortable driving the lanes but it's a Devon thing and my other half was prepared for it. Highly recommended! Hide

Really great cottage with an amazing view that's got everything you need if you have a young family. High chair, stair gates, toys, dvds, kids cutlery, floats and inflatables at the pool and the games room etc all make for a great stay for the whole family.
