A Quintessential Cottage

The Riddle – a luxurious self-catering holiday cottage in North Bovey – is available to rent with Unique Home Stays

24 July 2023

The Riddle, just off the village green in North Bovey, sits among an assembly of thatched cottages and a 14th-century church. Once home to wool farmers and later a post office as part of the WH Smith’s family estate, this property has been carefully renovated.

The country kitchen is fully equipped with an Aga and high-spec fixtures and fittings, as well as underfloor heating (also found in the bathrooms).

The cottage can sleep up to four and has three double bedrooms on the first floor with king-size beds. There is a family shower room on the first floor, as well as a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a roll-top bath.

Head to the snug for movie night, or the sitting room which is a no-television zone. With a deep fur rug and squishy sofas, it’s the perfect hang-out space for reading or playing board games.

At the back of the cottage is a beautiful English country garden with a patio area and enclosed lawn.
