Nestled in the idyllic Devonshire village of Broadhempston, our pretty 300-year-old country cottage promises a calming escape like no other. Step inside and you'll find magnificently dreamy interiors - whitewashed walls, calming colours, and a cosy wood burner tucked into a rustic fireplace. With three elegant bedrooms to choose from, this adorable abode is just splendid for families - and its dog friendly too! The stone walled secret garden with views of the rolling hills and beyond will make you feel you've found your little piece of countryside heaven. Off the beaten track with the rolling hills of Dartmoor in the distance, this chocolate-box pretty cottage enjoys a wonderfully tranquil setting in the village of Broadhempston, whilst only being a short distance from the bustling market town of Totnes. Nestled between Dartmoor, Torbay and The South Hams, this historic retreat is perfectly placed for exploring both coast and countryside.

Living and eating

The calming open living space is bedecked with sofas in the lightest shades of grey, positioned to make the most of the floor-to-ceiling windows that look out over the garden and trees. The light wooden flooring, white walls and fabulous artwork makes this a beautifully relaxed space - ideal for catching up over a bottle or two of something delicious or snuggling up for a film night on the 50 inch 4K television.

Towards the back of the room lies the kitchen - a lovely country kitchen with wooden worktops, dove-grey wall tiles, whitewashed exposed walls, stone flooring and a pretty little window with wooden shutters. The heart of the kitchen is the large wood burning stove, set into the huge original stone fireplace. Fully equipped with everything you might need to rustle up a feast or two, there's also a Smeg kettle and toaster plus the all-important Nespresso coffee machine.

A small breakfast bar is perfect for a bite to eat, whilst the main dining room is separate with a vintage dining table and seating for six.


Sleeping

There are three gorgeous bedrooms; a king size bedroom downstairs with a further king and a twin upstairs. The pretty downstairs bedroom is en suite and has a lovely bed-knobs-and-broomsticks bed, floor to ceiling window overlooking the garden and skylight above. The further king upstairs has an original stone fireplace, gorgeous wooden flooring and a sumptuous bed for long lie-ins. The twin bedroom has a pair of cute cream wrought iron beds. All bedrooms come with luxurious linens and warm throws for cooler nights.


Bathing

The en suite to the downstairs bedroom has a walk-in shower whilst the family bathroom upstairs has a bath with shower overhead - perfect for long evening soaks or a pick-me-up shower in the morning.


Outside space

The lovely cottage garden is ringed with mature trees, whilst the old stone walled garden next to the bench gives the feeling of a secret garden, nicely tucked away from the world outside. You will find seating for six for a spot of alfresco dining when you want to soak up the sun!

In the Area

Cheyne Cottage is located in a gorgeous Devon country village boasting two village pubs and within an area where there is plenty to do right on your doorstep. Just up the road is the lovely town of Totnes with its alternative vibe, independent shops and sense of real history (it boasts more listed buildings than any other town in Britain). Devon's largest Good Food market takes place on the third Sunday of every month with over 50 stalls whilst a regular market occurs every Friday and Saturday. It's also lovely to take a boat trip on the River Dart from here.

Take a trip on the South Devon Railway for an alternative way to see the countryside. Running between Totnes and Buckfastleigh, it's a glorious ride on a steam train of just over seven miles with plenty to see either end such as Buckfast Abbey.

If you enjoy walking, Dartmoor is just a short drive away and offers miles of paths, tracks and bridleways for you to explore.

Drive to the coast to enjoy the beautiful beaches of the South Hams and also Torbay, all within a 30 - 40 minute drive.

For foodies, head to Ben's Farm Shop (formally Riverford Farm Shop) in the nearby village of Staverton to pick up lots of organic and locally-grown goodies to take back to your retreat.


Residing in the idyllic country village of Broadhempston, our enchanting Devonshire cottage awaits for fairytale escapes exploring both coast and countryside.

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

We loved our time at the cottage. The cottage is stunning, incredibly comfortable, and well-equipped with almost everything we could need.

We had a nice time exploring this area of Devon, good for food and walking and trips on boats.

The location is very pretty but be mindful of the single track roads around the area - everywhere takes a little longer to get to but absolutely do-able if you plan and allow time. The village is very quiet with friendly local people.

We arrived at Cheyne Cottage, which is located in the tranquil setting in the village of Broadhempston - we were welcomed to this beautiful chocolate-box pretty cottage with beautifully kept gardens and outdoor space. Lovely open plan kitchen with beautiful wood burner and living area which opens out to the garden. The kitchen is fantastically equipped to rustle up the best breakfast, light lunch or delightful dinners and so thoughtfully chosen by the owners. We were thrilled to discover the welcome hamper left for us. The entire garden was totally safe and secure which was reassuring for us, and the trees surrounding the garden made us feel very secluded. Cheyne Cottage is a beautifully presented cottage in a lovely village within 20 minutes of the moors or the sea, so a perfect location for exploring the delights that Devon have to offer. Cheyne Cottage is a complete haven and a world away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and we hadn’t felt this relaxed in ages – we can highly recommend a visit to this beautiful timeless traditional cottage.

We really enjoyed our stay at Cheyne cottage. It is situated in a lovely, quiet village with easy routes to many popular destinations. The cottage was clean and tidy and equipped with everything you could ever need. The bed was very comfy and the en-suite shower was hot with good water pressure. The TV was large, with a great sound system. The WIFI was fast and we could stream our favourite services without any issues. The kitchen had a good cooker, fridge, washing machine & tumble dryer. We stayed in summer, but the log fire looked perfect for a winter stay. Although there's no dedicated parking, we were able to easily park 30 seconds walk away from the cottage. The outside space is more than adequate to enjoy some outdoor eating and the view across the fields is lovely.

A beautiful, well equipped cottage. It was the perfect retreat for us and a great base to explore Devon. It has a lovely garden and beautiful views.

We have just got home from a week at Cheyenne cottage and we are missing it already! It was a fabulous cottage, well equipped, clean and very cosy. The perfect base for seeing Devon - we’ll be back

We loved Cheyne Cottage , the kitchen and living space is excellent. It had a lovely relaxed vibe and looked out onto the enclosed private garden . The beds were extremely comfortable with crisp bed linen and fluffy towels in the bathrooms . We couldn’t have asked for more !

Very cleverly designed property, plenty of space. Loved the view from the lounge.

A wonderful stay. Very comfortable living space and bedrooms. The distant views from the rear of the cottage are beautiful.

Very handy to have the excellent community shop in the village.
