Cot, travel cot, highchair and stairgate available on request. Welcome pack. Croquet available on request. Patio with garden furniture and barbecue. Large lawned garden with garden furniture (shared with other property on-site). Outdoor swimming pool (shared, open during Summer months). 1 dog welcome, to be kept on a lead at all times (sheep country). No smoking. Please note: There is a fenced pond in the grounds. . Grattan Cottage (ref UK11036) and Manor Cottage (ref UK11037) are set within the extensive grounds of the historic and Grade II-listed Grattan Manor, just outside the village of Bow. A freshwater spring within the grounds is the apparent exact centre of Devon. Both cottages are furnished and equipped to a very good standard and each has its unique character and charm. Wood burners, well-equipped kitchens and private patio areas all contribute to the appeal of the cottages.
Both Grattan Cottage, which is detached, and Manor Cottage, a wing of a property, overlook the old orchard, a large lawned area with some of the remaining fruit trees. It’s ideal for sitting out on a warm summer’s day or taking the dog for an early morning stretch. Within the orchard, each cottage has a private sitting-out area; Grattan Cottage has a raised gazebo and the use of a barbecue hut in the orchard. Croquet is occasionally available by prior arrangement with the Lord of the Manor, i.e. the owner. All-weather tennis court (please bring your equipment). Outdoor, open, shared swimming pool - available in the summer months and later if weather allows - in the attractive walled garden.
The village of Bow is a short distance away and has a pub and a well-stocked local convenience store. Due to the central location, the cottages make an ideal base from which to explore the north and south of Devon, as well as the beautiful surrounding Devon countryside. The regional towns of Crediton and Okehampton (considered the gateway to the Dartmoor National Park) are easily reached, and the towns provide a good range of shops and amenities.
On Dartmoor, there are plenty of walks for all ages and abilities to enjoy this stunning and dramatic area, as well as some pretty villages with pubs and tea rooms. There are many fine beaches and coves along north or south Devon, steam trains here and there, and a trip to Lundy Island can be arranged from Bideford Pier. Ask the owner for information on riverboat excursions along the Dart, especially from Totnes on Dartmoor. Numerous places of interest close including the R.H.S. Gardens at Rosemoor, Dartington Crystal (glass blowing etc.) and the unique, historic fishing village of Clovelly are not far from Port Isaac (remember ’Doc Martin?’). Visit the last castle to be built in England at Castle Drogo (National Trust), with a nearby excellent riverside pub. There is golf at Okehampton and nearby Crediton, or you can hire a bike and cycle the Tarka Trail at Great Torrington. Or simply relax amongst the beautiful grounds surrounding the Manor. Shop 1¼ miles, pub and restaurant ¾ mile.
Grattan Cottage (ref UK11036) and Manor Cottage (ref UK11037) can be booked together to accommodate up to 9/10 guests.

John and Gwen were great hosts.
John and Gwen were great hosts. They even left Butter, eggs, milk and 2 Chocolate eggs for the kids on the table for when we arrived. The cottage was clean, really well designed and also well equipped. The garden was amazing with areas to sit and even a fully equipped Barbecue. The position of the cottage meant that both north and south coasts were easily accessible. I would definitely recommend this cottage. Mark
