Cornworthy

Cornworthy sits in the South Devon countryside close to the market town of Totnes, and the stays here suit those after genuine peace and seclusion. Southills Cottage is a one-bedroom barn conversion set within its own courtyard, sleeping two guests with no dogs permitted. The ground floor brings together an open-plan living and dining area with picture windows and patio doors, a compact but well-equipped kitchen, a bathroom with shower over the bath, and an understairs utility cupboard housing a washing machine. A wood burner with two chairs around it anchors the sitting area, and a farmhouse table provides a dedicated space for meals.

Upstairs, a mezzanine level adds a second sitting room with a leather sofa and rocking chair, plus a panoramic view across the wooden balustrade. The double bedroom sits beneath the eaves with a sloping ceiling and a Velux window overlooking the garden. Outside, enclosed lawned gardens with mature planted borders provide a private area for alfresco dining, and one parking space is included.
