Garden Cottage is a smaller more traditional barn conversion with a lovely conservatory overlooking the garden. The open plan living/dining room has a vaulted ceiling and A-frame beams, and the bedrooms are comfortable and cosy.
It is set in rural farming countryside on Higher Poulston Farm just on the outskirts of the vibrant town of Totnes, nestling on the River Dart. Many visitors find themselves revisiting Garden Cottage year after year. There is plenty of parking for all on-site. Tucked away along quiet country lanes, and close to a working dairy farm. Away from the farm there are many interesting places to explore. For your local shopping, Harbertonford, 1 mile, has a small village shop and post office. Also, the village of Moreleigh, 1 mile, has a highly rated pub serving good traditional food. The ancient town of Totnes, just 3 miles away, has a range of quirky independent shops and bistros and is a vibrant and interesting place to visit, especially on Fridays when the market comes to town.
The South Devon coastline is close at hand, has many beautiful beaches and coves, scenic walks and pretty villages including Blackpool Sands and Slapton. Enjoy a day out in the beautiful riverside marine town of Dartmouth and take a cruise along the river to Totnes or the ferry across to Kingswear, and the quaint fishing town of Brixham, then ride on the steam train to Paignton or Buckfastleigh. Within easy reach are the English Riviera resorts of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham, the boating and sailing centre of Salcombe on the estuary and the historic town of Dartmouth, nestling on the banks of the River Dart. Woodlands Fun Park is a great tourist attraction and fun day out for families, as is Dartmoor National Park, with its hundreds of acres of wild rugged moorland, both about 4 miles away. Close to Dartmouth you can also play golf on an 18-hole championship course.

The road outside is just a fairly normal rural Devon lane.
The road outside is just a fairly normal rural Devon lane. Not half as bad as we expected from previous reviews, just take your time. Cottage is fine for 2 people, OK, there are a few damp patches, but agian, it's in the country and thats why it's peaceful. The cottage is really well equipped, we were not expecting the tissues, chocolates, washing upliquid, dishwasher tablets and the washing machine. Perfectly good break, thank you.

We had a fabulous holiday at Garden Cottage.
We had a fabulous holiday at Garden Cottage. The cottage was very comfortable for the 4 of us adults and our dog. Kitchen was fully operational and we cooked most evenings. Beds were comfortable. Comfortable seating and dining. Walks and runs out from the cottage were along quiet country lanes with beautiful hedgerows. We were disappointed that the swimming pool, indoor activities and tennis courts weren't open due to Covid 19, but to be expected. We ventured out to Salcombe, Torbay, Dartmouth and Dartmoor all of which were beautiful and within 20 to 30 minutes. The landlord Ian was very helpful before and during our stay - fudge was a really nice opening gift! A great holiday in a lovely cottage.

Lovely cottage in a rural setting.
Lovely cottage in a rural setting. Clean and comfortable and with a conservatory. Good sports facilities on site.
Unfortunately there was no local public paths or woods to walk the dog and the access road for one mile is very narrow.

We had a lovely time at Garden Cottage.
We had a lovely time at Garden Cottage. It’s comfortable and well equipped and the onsite facilities of a swimming pool, games room and outdoor play area was a great bonus for our family. The cottage has a large garden (it’s not able to be secured for dogs) which will be lovely to enjoy in the spring and summer. It’s a short drive to the local village or a mile or so walk but there’s not much there and as it’s a single track road, we drove everywhere. I think you’d need a car to appreciate the local area and to get to the beaches. Totnes is a 10 minute drive and there’s a large Morrison’s, lots of pubs and more cafes and restaurants than you could ever visit in one week. Ben’s Tapas and Wine bar comes highly recommended.
We would definitely visit and stay again.
