The Experience

Plenty of wood, slate floors and fresh flowers from the garden give an elemental feel to the interiors of what was an ancient farm building. Owners Sarah and Craig, who live next door in the thatched cottage have done much of the renovation work themselves. It’s a generous and relaxing space with an open-plan living/dining and kitchen area, a wood-burner and books and games. You’ll find cooking essentials in the cupboards, plus bread or croissants and sweet treats for your arrival. The gallery bedroom upstairs has another sofa and a desk with a grand view. A little outside seating area is reached through doors from the living room – lovely to have your first morning cup of tea out here. The mature garden has further seating areas, and is filled with trees, shrubs and flowers, connected by paths and dry-stone walls. Listen out for birds, spot hedgehogs.

Spend days on nearby beaches (borrow towels, a picnic bag and a thermos flask too), gentle walks start from the door (you can walk to a wild swimming spot), or hike on lovely Dartmoor. The peace is deep but you’re only five miles from Totnes.

Reviews

A peaceful and elegant space, plus a garden teeming with birds. This is super for walkers and cyclists close to the coast but also Dartmoor - it would make a marvellous retreat for a writer too.
Inspected Nicola Sawday's Inspector
Petro, London

Sarah's place felt like home from the moment we stepped in. The place has an impeccable taste, it's cute and filled with subtle and thoughtful details in every corner of the house. Sarah was super helpful and welcoming. Can't recommend more!

Leigh, Bedfordshire

If you like a relaxing and peaceful hideaway in rural Devon then this house is perfect. The house is very cosy after a day out exploring and the garden is delightful, a perfect place to view the clear sky and stars at night as there is no light pollution. Our hosts were very welcoming and it was nice to be able to chat to them. All in all a fantastic 4 days and would not hesitate to recommend this property.

The Ivy Studio is an absolute delight; fantastic location between the coast and Dartmoor, ample space, beautifully decorated, gorgeous garden- you could go on and on! Sarah and Craig were incredibly responsive and on hand to help too (if required). We'd thoroughly recommend a stay!

A wonderful gem- so glad we found it. Ivy Studio is very thoughtfully set out and has wonderful energy. It is peaceful with a lovely garden and beautiful interior. We loved the birdsong all around. Sarah & Craig were very welcoming. Chocolates and croissants were a welcome treat. We loved our stay and hope to visit again.

Location

The neighbourhood

Diptford is a quiet village with a medieval church, St Mary the Virgin. One of the nearest good pubs, the Church Inn, is in Harberton, a 12-minute drive, but there are good places to eat and independent shops in Totnes - also a market on Fridays and Saturdays. There are walking and cycling trails criss-crossing the area, Dartmoor is only 25 minutes in the car for rugged hikes and the coast is close.

Local points of interest from Sarah & Craig Taylor

  • Totnes town boasts many independent shops with cafes selling indulgent cakes & pastries. Market days are the place to find bargain vintage items, delicious take-away food, beautiful hand-craft and interesting organic fashion.
  • Sharpham Estate overlooks the stunning River Dart with beautiful walks and a great outdoor cafe open in the summer. Its thousand year old farm now produces fine wine and cheese which you can visit.
  • Dartington Hall Estate is an award-winning Devon destination! 1,200 acres offer woodland walks and riverside trails to cafes, restaurants and shops, art and craft activities, theatre, music and dance events as well as the wonderful Barn Cinema!
  • Powderham Castle home of the Earl of Devon has an exciting range of entertainment with pop-up restaurants as well as stunning grounds and gardens to visit. Berry Pomeroy Castle is tucked away in a deep wooded valley - the perfect romantic ruin!
  • Buckfast Abbey near Buckfastleigh forms part of an active Benedictine monastery famous for its tonic wine since the 1920s! A beautifully peaceful place to worship or visit with lovely grounds, gardens, exhibitions, book and produce shops and a restaurant.
  • Beaches to visit - spoilt for choice and we can point you in the direction of one or two more secluded and quieter beaches as well when you're here! Beachhouse (South Milton Sands) is a laidback foodie destination right on the beach itself.

Introducing

Sarah & Craig Taylor

Sarah is a homeopath and Craig, originally from Australia, is a teacher and musician. They've lived in East Sussex and Somerset but fell in love with South Devon after Sarah spent many years holidaying here, and have gradually moved further and further west until they settled in this gorgeous spot.
