“We had a wonderful, relaxed and comfortable stay at Thorn Cottage over Easter.”
Three adults, three children and a dog found that there was plenty to explore - games and books in every nook and cranny, spaces for playing hide and seek, games of cricket in the meadow. Our 7 year old daughter taught herself how to play a couple of simple tunes on the piano.
Our dog is a little too much of an explorer to be able to be off the lead in the meadow (we should have named him Houdini!), but enjoyed long morning walks through the lanes. If you’re thinking of bringing a dog with you - be mindful of the hedge at the top of the meadow, it’s an escape opportunity!
Short drives (or a hilly walk) to amenities in Chagford: Spar, pubs, greengrocer, clothes, information…
We were able to get a few hikes of decent length with our three children. The porch made an excellent boot room upon our return and plenty of hot water for all to have a good shower.
The facilities in the kitchen are rustic in a way that is charming, like taking a step back in time. But all mod cons are available, easy to find and use.
The beds are extremely comfortable and we all took advantage by sleeping in only to be woken by the sound of birds, the occasional soft sound of hooves or the master thatcher arriving to re-thatch a neighbouring property.
We all feel so grateful to have been able to stay at Thorn Cottage and have already recommended that our friends and family also spend holidays there.
