LOCATION

The attractive market town of Buckfastleigh sits on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. It is a scenic location, by the rivers of Dart, Mardle and the Dean Burn.

Originally a thriving market town for wool production, Buckfastleigh is brimming over with echoes from its past. Ancient mills, characterful cottages, a 13th century church and a Benedictine Abbey are very much part of this thriving small town.

A cottage in Buckfastleigh gives you a chance to experience living in a historic home, with easy access to local shops, a farmers’ market (Thursdays), galleries, restaurants, glorious country walks and pubs. You may also like to try out the town’s outdoor swimming pool, skate park, tennis courts and bowling green.

Explore further afield for beaches and the coastal villages of Torbay, just half an hour drive away. Totnes is the nearest train station, just 15 minutes’ drive from Buckfastleigh, with trains to Exeter and Plymouth.

Excellent host who replied promptIy to my queries. I stayed there alone. The apartment might feel a bit snug for a couple. A minor drawback is that the apartment is off the main road in an alley without street lights. I still felt safe but this might be good to know. read less

We loved the cute layout of the cottage and the natural lighting in the bedroom and bathroom from the skylights is very lovely, bed was comfortable and the shower was nice and hot!

We enjoyed visiting South Devon Railway. A lovely steam train ride to Totnes along the River and they have a sweet little cafe there too. Also next to the railway there is a family operated otter sanctuary that also has a butterfly house, this was also a nice way to while away a couple of hours. 

Katie and Rupert were very responsive and helpful throughout our stay when an unexpected incident occurred. Thank you for having us! Also thank you for the welcome goodies! read less

It is in a very central location in Buckfastleigh, just off the main street. Buckfastleigh is the perfect base for visiting Dartmoor, the South Devon coast, Exeter and Plymouth. 

The accommodation is compact but cosy, and with everything you need for two people. The only drawback was the lack of a washing machine, which to be fair was actually mentioned in the ad, so not Katie's fault - just something to be aware of if you're staying a week or more.

Katie was an excellent host, very accommodating and helpful. read less
