Surrounded by the rolling countryside of south Devon awaits our idyllic cottage for four, where a calming escape resides for small families and couples alike. Set within the grounds of a grand country house with babbling brooks and enchanting woodland nearby, Feathers promises the perfect bolthole for those in pursuit of a relaxing retreat brimming with countryside charm. Complete with chic interiors and an open plan, reverse living approach, you'll also find a wood burning stove, and a charming patio terrace overlooking the neighbouring scenery. Nestled in the South Hams district of Devon, Feathers is wonderfully located for uncovering both country and coastline.


Living

Endlessly cosy, the living room is a darling space to gather with loved ones. At the heart of the room resides the wood burning stove set on a beautiful slate hearth, complete with a unique log store feature. You'll also find two sumptuous grey sofas for unwinding in style, along with a light-filled window seat draped with an ivory sheepskin - the perfect spot to gaze towards countryside scenes.


Eating

Uncover the stunning kitchen and dining space, where soothing shades and bespoke cabinets promise a dreamy dwelling for budding chefs and culinary artists alike. In this stylish space you'll find an electric oven and hob, a hand mixer, kettle, toaster and coffee machines, along with a beautiful butler's sink.

For mealtimes of every occasion, there is a gorgeous zinc-top dining table with a handmade settle seat and a rustic bench for two.


Sleeping and bathing

You'll find two equally beautiful bedrooms at Feathers.

Promising soothing neutral hues and gorgeous oak flooring, the master bedroom with an en suite is a calming space to reside. For those looking to indulge in lingering lie-ins, you'll find a Feather and Black king-sized bed, whilst a Parisian-inspired, elegant double wardrobe, a chest of drawers and two bedside tables provide plenty of storage. Just next door awaits the en suite, complete with a walk-in shower.

With vibrant yellow inflections and a wood panelled feature wall, the second bedroom is equally beautiful. In this cosy room, you'll find a super-king zip-and-link - perfect for flexible sleeping arrangements. In the spacious en suite with rustic cottage features, you'll find a clawfoot, rolltop bathtub for two, along with a separate shower.

Each en suite at Feathers also has heated towel rails.

We know how gorgeous our retreats are, but don’t just take our word for it – here’s what previous guests say about Feathers:

Beautiful cottage. Exquisitely furnished. Very well equipped. An absolute pleasure to stay in such a beautiful part of the Devon countryside.

Lovely escape - beds were very comfortable.

Fabulous property, well equipped and extremely comfortable! The beds and bedding were exceptional. We would love to return very soon.

Beautiful cottage, superbly equipped including outdoor washing and dryer (!) for dogs.

Beautiful home, very comfortable with everything we needed for our stay

We enjoyed a delightful stay in Feathers. Thank you for your hospitality we will recommend to friends and family.

Thank you for a wonderful stay in a beautiful cottage! This was our first trip to the South Hams and it has been beyond our expectations. Beautiful beaches and landscapes - such a tranquil spot. The quiet, solitude, and beautiful birdsong was just amazing. Thank you for the amazing welcome hamper - we enjoyed it immensely.

We have very much enjoyed our stay at Feathers. The cottage has met all our needs and is located in such a tranquil spot. For the first few days, we commented so many times how quiet is was.

The welcome hamper was very much appreciated, with great cake, lovely flowers, and local produce which we sought out to take home.

Thank you so much!

Thank you Jane and Ian for a wonderful week. The cottage is absolutely wonderful and a home from home. Beautiful decor, but also very practial... especially the outside shower which was useful for our dogs. This is such a beautiful place and we have had some great walks, especially along the riverbank. We would love to return... so hope to be back soon.

A lovely spot for a relaxing break in a perfect little cottage. Really well equipped for a comfy stay - a home from home!

Feathers was cosy, comfortable and well equipped. We had a wonderful warm welcome from Jane, our host, who gave us the low down on the area and provided a fabulous selection of breakfast goodies plus a delicious homemade cake.

Beautifully and well-stocked cottage. Wonderful host.

A very beautiful property in a lovely location. The property has been finished to a very high specification and every need catered for including a lavish and locally sourced welcome pack. The facilities made available for our spaniel were second to none.

A beautiful cottage with everything you could need. Very comfortable and Jane was wonderfully welcoming. The welcome pack was excellent and the cake divine. We would love to return.

A peaceful location that is perfectly located to access the fabulous villages, towns, and beaches in The Hams. Great for foodies.

We thought the house was wonderful. So beautifully decorated, well equipped and immaculately clean. We really enjoyed our week there. Perfect for a family of four. Jane, the owner was lovely, she made us feel so welcome. The treats in the fridge and the homemade cherry cake were also a nice surprise upon arrival.

Lovely welcome pack, very comfortable beds & lots of fluffy towels with roll top bath what more do you need

Lovely host. Nice to have 2 en-suite double rooms which is perfect for 2 couples.

Feathers is quite simply gorgeous.... Jane was the perfect hostess.. recommending local places to visit and restaurants to eat in.... Feathers is a fabulous cottage... I’m very choosy about where I stay... I’m an interior designer... so everywhere has to be as nice as my home... I cannot live (even for a week) in bad decor... Jane has done a great job with Feathers.. attention to detail is essential.... and she’s nailed it!

Probably the best Boutique Retreat cottage we have stayed in so far!

This is a great place to stay with lots of parking. Love it!

We had a wonderful New Years stay at Feathers, it was perfect for us and is very stylish but practical too with lots of nice touches like slippers and dressing gowns provided.
