Eastacott Barton
1651 is no longer with usIf you were looking for cottages like Eastacott Barton, how about trying these:
Eastacott Barton, a gorgeous Victorian farmhouse, is remarkably spacious for two or even three families. Found in the unspoilt Tamar Valley, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and now a World Heritage Site, the River Tamar is the county boundary, so why not explore both Devon and Cornwall? The north Devon or Cornish coasts are within easy driving distance, as are the Eden Project and Dartmoor. If climbing is your thing, the Owners have an indoor climbing school (available at cost) elsewhere on the farm. Approached by a private drive, this large detached farmhouse has spectacular countryside views and a sunny enclosed garden which the Owners’ peacocks often walk around. Found on a working organic farm, although the yard and barns are well away from the house, this is a perfect holiday home. There is a farmhouse-style kitchen/diner with a dark green four oven Aga (the main cooking appliance although there is also a hob and combination microwave), cream units and a scrubbed pine dining-table big enough for everyone. A separate utility-room offers plenty of storage space, where you can hang up wetsuits. The traditionally furnished sitting-room has an open fire, the music-room has a wood-burner and the television-room has a wood-burner effect stove set in the pretty hearth. The main split staircase leads up from the hall to the bedrooms and there is a spacious family bathroom, a separate cloakroom and another bathroom all on this floor. The back stairs are steep, so take care with toddlers and the elderly.
