We've visited this property before and wouldn't hesitate to come back. It's a very well appointed, clean, tidy and very very quiet. Absolutely stunning location that can't, in our opinion be beaten.

The property was well equipped, roomy and very well presented for our arrival. The only extra item that would have been beneficial, would have been a standing fan of some sort, because it was rather warm. The location is perfect for those who are...

Idyllic rural location. Owls at night, sheep during the day. Spacious cottage, well equipped. Small details just right. Immaculately clean and freshly decorated.

It was great that we could bring our dogs here. The accommodation is spacious, comfortable and clean. The estate is very pretty. Nice that there are seating areas front and rear of the cottage.

Housekeepers Cottage is nestled in the valley of the Shilstone estate in the heart of the Devon countryside. With stunning views of the unspoiled surrounding countryside in easy reach of the spectacular South Devon Beaches, the South West Coast Path and Dartmoor.
Housekeepers Cottage is totally unique in its rurality. Positioned on an ancient farm holding, you can enjoy complete serenity, however, remain within fantastic proximity to local Towns and Villages with various amenities. The Market Town of Modbury is around a 5 minute drive away, and Totnes, 15 minutes. Dartmoor National Park and the stunning South Devon Coast are equidistant, again, just a 10 to 20 minute drive away. You may prefer, however, to hide the car keys and simply enjoy the wealth of footpaths that surround Housekeepers Cottage and wind their way through the Devon countryside. The ancient farm holding in which Housekeepers Cottage is positioned is also home to other small outbuildings/barns/cottage, some of which are being restored to preserve their heritage. Due to Housekeepers Cottage's fabulously rural location, getting around is best achieved by car. There is free parking outside for up to 3 cars.
