David and Georgina Tomkins
Higher Kellacott Cottage is situated in a tiny Devon hamlet, where you'll find a small handful of thatched cottages along a narrow country lane. Nestled in a beautiful stretch of Devonshire countryside with far-reaching views to Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor, the elevated situation of this Cottage will ensure you'll be basking in the sun from morning till sunset. If you're looking for a quiet escape to recharge your batteries and revitalise your mind, this tranquil setting will be perfect for you. Designed to ensure your every comfort, the Cottage has been stylishly decorated and furnished throughout, featuring a luxurious bedroom with super kingsize bed, a lovely sunny sitting room with dining area and French windows to a patio and garden. There are plenty of outside areas to enjoy, including a sunny patio with large awning perfect for al fresco dining, private garden with sun loungers and a relaxation area with spectacular views to Dartmoor. Sheep, geese and hens graze the fields opposite the Cottage. Our newly rennovated cobble barn has a table tennis table and a display of our home produce for guests to purchase. Guests are also welcome to use this space for Yoga or meditation.
My husband David and I enjoy walking on Dartmoor, wild swimming, table tennis, cycling and body boarding. When not on the moors or working on our home, garden and fields, we enjoy family life, listening to music, going to the cinema, reading a good book, listening to the cricket and all things history. I also enjoy National Hunt horse racing. Cooking, home curing bacon and smoked salmon are also interests I pursue. David has been a beekeeper for 30 years and we now run our Nearly Home Honey & Beekeeping business from Higher Kellacott, with an apiary on one of our fields.
The Cottage is just 5 minutes' drive from the A30, making it easy to explore the local area. Dartmoor National Park is just a 20 minute drive, whilst Roadford Lake, with all it's watersports, walking and cycling facilities just a 10 minute drive. There is horse riding locally, plus Launceston, Tavistock, Okehampton and many local villages ensuring that shopping and eating out are all easily within reach.
