Tawny and Kestrel Cottages are converted barns on our farm, Woodbury Farm Cottages. We are two miles from the riverside town of Dartmouth. This is a rustic farm location and many of the old buildings remain. You get the feeling of being away from it all in a quiet rural setting, but still very close to Dartmouth.
Tawny cottage sleeps six with two kingsize beds, one en-suite and a twin room sharing the family bathroom. Upstairs is the open plan-living, dining, kitchen area with vaulted ceiling, giving a light and airy space great for relaxing in.
The space
We have two cottages, both sleeping 6, Tawny and Kestrel, ideal for two families or friends holidaying together. The cottages are part of a converted barn and retain the original features and roof trusses with vaulted ceilings. The windows have all been placed in the original openings, so each cottage is unique. Much of our furniture has been up-cycled and hand painted. The 3 bedrooms are on the ground floor with an open-plan living, kitchen, dining area on the first floor. The wood burner is perfect for warm cosy relaxing evenings. Quality white bed linen, towels, pillows and duvets are provided. The kitchen is well equipped with cooking utensils, cutlery, plates, glasses, kettle, toaster, fridge with small freezer, microwave and dishwasher. Anything else you need just ask and we’ll try our best to assist. The farm is our home too and we want you to feel welcome and have a great holiday.
Guest access
There’s plenty of parking in the yard and a seating area outside the cottage. Why not wander in our orchard paddock, the grass has been left long to attract wildlife, sit quietly and see what appears. You’re welcome to pick apples. If you’d like to meet our horses in the stables or feed our chickens some corn, just ask.
Other things to note
The barn is part of a courtyard of buildings along with our grade 2 listed farmhouse. They were once used as cow sheds on the former dairy farm. We have plans to convert an adjoining barn, which was once stables into another cottage. There are other farm sheds used for storage of machinery and hay. This is a rustic setting with free range chickens and our horses.
Well behaved dogs are welcome, please keep them on a lead on the farm. Also, please keep them off the furniture and beds a towel is provided for muddy paws. Please don’t leave your dog unaccompanied in the cottage. Please remember to book your dog in too, they cost £50 to stay.
The track leading down is bumpy so please drive slowly and beware of free range chickens in the yard.
