Dittisham 2.6 miles. Resting rurally in Cornworthy, a chocolate box village near Dittisham in Devon is Cowslip Barn, a characterful, 18th-century barn conversion. Sympathetically-restored throughout, featuring exposed, A-framed beams and stonework, Cowslip Barn offers a countryside setting for a family of six and a furry companion, well-positioned near the coast and within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Travel down the country lane and through the private driveway, reaching your new, stone-fronted abode. Step indoors to be wowed by the open-plan living space, complete with a fully-equipped, country-style kitchen with breakfast bar, a lofty dining table for formal affairs, and plush, leather sofas to lounge upon with the woodburning stove in the backdrop. Use this space as your social hub before heading outdoors to bask in your surroundings, where you’ll find a private, lawned garden with patio and furniture. As day turns into night, head down to the lower-ground-floor to locate three well-appointed bedrooms; select between a king-size with TV and en-suite, a further king-size, and a twin, serviced by a sleek bathroom. Enjoy a fresh morning coffee before preparing to explore the area, where find three great pubs within walking distance of your lodgings: The Hunters Lodge Inn in Cornworthy, a short walk from your new home; The Maltsters Arms in Tuckenhay; and the The Waterman’s Arms located slightly further along the Harbourne River. Head to Dittisham for your local amenities, before reaching Dartmouth and its lovely, riverfront position; here you can tour Dartmouth Museum, hike towards Dartmouth Castle, traverse the National Trust nature reserve of Little Dartmouth, or enjoy a beach day at Blackpool Sands, where you can also join the South West Coast Path. Travel inland to Totnes, with the chance to trek up to Totnes Castle and tour its remains, or visit the Totnes Rare Breeds Farm, a family favourite, before dining out at the Waterside Bistro in Devon, serving delicious local produce and tapas. Further attractions to add to your itinerary include visits to Woodlands Theme Park, perfect for younger family members; Paignton Zoo Environmental Park, strolls along Paignton Pier with a bag of fish and chips in hand, or hikes across Cockington Country Park, before reaching the imposing, Tudor mansion of Berry Pomeroy Castle, enveloped by woodland walks. A day trip spent sampling some award-winning vintages from Sharpham’s Vineyard in nearby Stoke Gabriel after a few hours traversing the beautiful landscapes of the River Dart Country Park is a must whilst you’re in the region.
