The Experience

This wooden cottage was originally built for the 1922 Ideal Home Exhibition and carefully renovated to modernise it and make the most of the wonderful views. Inside there is plenty of room for four with an open plan living space and two good-sized bedrooms, each with doors to the outside decking. White walls and sash windows keep it bright and there are some beautiful design features, with good artwork.

The kitchen runs along the back wall of the cottage and is modern and well stocked. There’s also a snug with a double sofa bed, and a useful utility room by the front door with a big freezer and wine chiller. Annie leaves you a hamper of seasonal veg from the garden, homemade jam and chutney, fresh eggs from her hens and a bottle of wine from Michael Sutton’s Cellar.

You have a choice of outdoor spaces including small, covered porches with white picket fences at the front overlooking a neat lawn, a sun deck for drinks and dining and a children’s play area to the side.

Reviews

Bowden Wood was the perfect place to meet up with friends for a relaxing week. We loved the location, the beautiful autumnal walks, listening for and seeing owls and the peace, quiet and stillness of the area. It is the most comfortable and generous holiday home, with lots of lovely unique details. We appreciated Annie's jam, chutney and eggs, together with the flowers and wine, and we had great fun using the tennis court during our stay. An excellent stay all round!

Julia, Newcastle

A beautiful blue wooden cottage set against a backdrop of woodland and filled with natural light, Bowden Wood makes for a perfectly relaxing home-from-home. Spend early mornings on the covered front porch listening to birdsong, set out to explore the south Devon coast which is just minutes away, and enjoy a leisurely evening on the deck as the sun goes down, taking in the wonderful views.

Location

The neighbourhood

Michael Sutton's Cellar is a short walk along the lane and has regular pop-up dining events as well as wine tastings. Dartmouth is a 10-minute drive for food shops, restaurants, riverside walks and scenic boat trips. Totnes is half an hour away for lovely independents and a weekly market. A wonderful stretch of coastline is a short drive, along with an AONB and access to the South West Coast Path.

Local points of interest from Annie Norton

  • Dartmouth is only 4 miles away but Bowden is a rural gem nestling in a beautiful valley, a mile from Blackpool Sands with its child friendly amenities, organic cafe and Blue Flag beach.
  • Easy access to many points along the South West Coastal Path, ranging from beautiful shingle and sandy beaches to rugged coastline vistas.
  • Walk up the Dart to enjoy pub lunches at Dittisham or Tuckenhay; or motor up the river as far as Totnes for beautiful river views.
  • Enjoy vintage steam train rides from Kingswear to Paignton via Agatha Christie's Greenway House (National Trust) or from Totnes up to Buckfastleigh, gateway to Dartmoor and its wild moorland.
  • Totnes has an enviable foodie scene with many independent cafés, shops and weekly markets.
  • Nearby Dartmouth with its castle, museum, ferries across the river and varied shops and cafês is a vibrant hub, with annual Food and Music Festivals and of course the famous, Royal Regatta.
