Nestled amidst sweeping countryside in South Devon, this converted barn offers a luxurious spot for a romantic getaway for two guests and their dog. It’s part of a cluster of four cottages in Broadhempston, a sweet village 5.5 miles north of the bohemian market town of Totnes. Thanks to its cosy wood burner, and indulgent shared hot tub and swimming pool, this accommodation provides a truly tranquil and home away from home. Soak away your stresses and strains after busy days exploring lush scenic spots like the Dartmoor National Park (11.5 miles) with your partner and pet.

You’ll climb up five steps to reach the front door of this delightful cottage, which is made from gorgeous untreated stone for a charming rustic feel. The tastefully decorated living and dining area boasts traditional features like white-painted stone walls and wooden beams overhead. In the evenings, snuggle up with your other half and lose yourself in a film on the Smart TV while your pet sinks into a deep doggie sleep by the cosy wood burner. The sweet kitchen is ideal for cooking up yummy meals, and there’s a handy shared laundry room available for your washing. In fine weather, while away a few hours enjoying the shared outdoor space which includes a beautiful orchard and a lawn garden with a table, chairs and a BBQ. You’ll also have access to a dreamy shared veranda where your pet can sniff out the other guests while you lap up the surrounding views.

The property is in a rural location, with a dog-friendly pub and shop less than a mile away. For a day out by the sea, we recommend heading to Torquay (10.5 miles), where you can take your furry companion for runs on the beach before enjoying booking a romantic meal for two in one of the town’s many excellent eateries.

We were warmly greeted by John, the owner, who showed us to Bovey which is a delightful cottage in an idyllic setting. The heated swimming pool was a joy and a great attraction. Knowle is just 15 minutes to Totnes by car and also the A38. The directions and necessary information regarding the cottage were excellent. Having access to BroadhempstRead moreon Stores which was very well stocked was very useful. We can recommend The Coppa Dollar pub in the village, being famous for its pies. A great place to eat. We had a very happy week in this glorious part of Devon and can highly recommend Lower Knowle Cottages. Hide

Started great with a warm welcome from the owner and lovely scones + cream waiting for us, plus a pint of milk in the fridge. The pool is superb and you effectively have it to yourself. Access to a washing machine too. This is an exceptionally quiet location, and the access lanes - like so many in Devon - are narrow and winding. However the locatioRead moren is so handy for so much - NT properties, the River Dart, dartmoor, Torbay, a choice of steam railways, and unlimited walks. Bovey cottage is small but plenty spacious enough for two, is clean and well-equipped and has TV and adequate wi-fi. Note that there is limited mobile phone signal at the cottage though! Hide

Bovey Cottage did not disappoint in any way. We returned home yesterday from a week in this charming stone cottage. Well equipped, comfortable, cosy property. The location is both tranquil and picturesque. Enjoyed waking up to birdsong. The property owners were welcoming and helpful with advice on routes to visit local towns on the South Coast.

What a wonderful location for a relaxing holiday. Such a welcoming atmosphere with breathtaking surroundings. The private use of the hot tub and swimming pool were definitely a highlight and I would definitely recommend to family and friends. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
