About this property

Pretty Cottage in the Heart of Devon

  • Higher Primrose Cottage is a 17th century Grade II listed cottage nestled within the heart of the idyllic village of Winkleigh. A stone's throw from most amenities, Higher Primrose Cottage is the perfect base from which to explore both Dartmoor & Exmoor. Both the North Devon & North Cornish coastlines with their glorious sandy beaches are within easy reach at just over 40 minutes away.
    The cottage can accommodate either 3 adults or 2 adults, 1 child comfortably. 1 small well behaved dog is also welcome! We have tried to blend period charm with modern-day comfort. The ground floor contains a living room with a wood burner and a properly stocked kitchen . There is a TV with Freeview plus free WiFi. The stable kitchen door opens out onto a small gravel courtyard which is a perfect suntrap!
    An off road parking space is located at the rear of the property and can accommodate 1 small sized car. Plenty of free parking can also be found just around the corner in the village square. Upstairs you will find the bathroom with bath & shower, 1 double bedroom with a comfy Victorian bed and 1 small second bedroom with a full sized single bed. Beautiful views of Dartmoor can be seen through the skylights which sit above the galleried landing.
    We try to support local artists and businesses where we can. Most of the artwork and some of the furniture is local - if you see something you like and would like to know more please let us know & we can provide you with details of the artist or business. A scrummy welcome pack will greet you upon your arrival with most items sourced locally.
    If you have any questions please ping us an email. We look forward to welcoming you to our lovely cottage soon.

Little Village

Well equipped and very clean cottage in small but nice village near many interesting attractions. The only drawback I have is the main bedroom is quite small, the bed just fits. Make allowance for the limited size of the bedrooms and you will enjoy your stay.

A cosy compact comfortable cottage.

A cosy comfortable cottage in a quaint village and a warm welcome from Nicole. We enjoyed cycling the Granite Way and visiting the impressive RHS Rosemoor Garden. A lovely weekend.

Cozy, homely and well presented Cottage

Lovely character cottage in a small but beautiful village in Devon. Only negative I can think of is that it is in central Devon so trips to the beach can take up to an hours travelling time as well as getting to Exeter etc. Suited our small family very well and Nicole was very helpful and easy going. Would definitely return again.
