Ivy Studio - Self-catering in Devon
Diptford, TQ9 7NU, Devon
England,
Reino Unido
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. Nurture your wellbeing with a private yoga session in the studio or a massage. The peace is deep but you’re only five miles from Totnes.
