Finest Retreats | Horseshoe Cottage
Horseshoe Cottage is a charming period stone cottage tucked away in the peaceful village of Broadhempston, set within the beautiful South Devon countryside. Full of character and comfort, the cottage is perfectly suited to romantic getaways spent curled up by the wood-burning fire or relaxed family escapes.
The ground floor offers a welcoming open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, thoughtfully designed for both comfort and convenience. The living space features a log burner, ideal for cooler evenings, while the dining area provides a sociable setting for shared meals. The modern kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for a self-catered stay, blending contemporary convenience with the cottage's traditional charm. Additional amenities include a travel cot, TV with Fire TV, and access to Netflix and Disney+.
Upstairs, the cottage has two comfortable bedrooms, comprising one double bedroom and one twin bedroom, making it ideal for couples or small families. The family bathroom is a standout feature, complete with a freestanding bath and an overhead shower.
Outside, Horseshoe Cottage benefits from a fully enclosed, fenced garden to the side of the property, offering a safe and private space to unwind or enjoy outdoor dining. Parking is available nearby, providing easy access while maintaining the cottage's peaceful setting.
Ideally located, the cottage is just 15 minutes from Totnes, the popular beach towns of the English Riviera, and Dartmoor National Park, one of the UK's most treasured landscapes and home to the legendary Hound of the Baskervilles. Guests can enjoy countryside walks, coastal days out, and historic market towns all within easy reach.
