Dating From 14th Century, In Grounds Of Former Abbot's Lodging, Beautiful Cottage Sleeping Up To 5

Tower Cottage stands beside the Tower of the former Abbot's Lodging across the courtyard from the Cider House. The Tower dates from the early 14th century, although the cottage itself is later. The cottage has a phone, and duvets and blankets are provided for all beds. Sheets, towels and pillow cases can be provided for an extra charge of £8 per person. There is also a hard tennis court which people are welcome to play on at any time (please bring tennis shoes - not trainers), and a stream through the fields which has a fascination for children.

The magnificent scenery of South-West Dartmoor offers walking, golf, fishing and riding, and there are National Trust walks through the surrounding countryside which can be joined from near the cottage. Being so near to the Cornish border, we are well placed for visiting a large number of NT houses and famous gardens in both Devon and Cornwall. The market town of Tavistock is eight miles away; the weekly craft and antique market is fun for collectors, but most necessities can be found in Yelverton, three miles away, including meat, fish, fruit and veg. and a Post Office. The village P.O. at Crapstone (1 mile) has excellent bread. There are good local pubs in both Milton Combe (Who'd a Thought It) and Buckland Monachorum (The Drake Manor), both less than a mile away.
