Accommodation in Detail

Ground Floor

The ground floor features a bright and fully equipped kitchen, complete with a convenient serving hatch to the sitting room and dining area. Modern amenities include an electric hob, dishwasher, microwave and espresso machine, ensuring everything you need for a comfortable stay.
Leading from the kitchen, the separate sitting room is a light-filled and airy space designed for relaxation. A cozy electric woodburner adds warmth and charm, while a comfortable sofa provides the perfect spot to unwind in the evening. A delightful reading alcove, stocked with a selection of books, is perfect for taking in views of the garden through the French windows. These open onto a sunny patio, inviting you to step outside and enjoy the fresh countryside air.

Upstairs

The bedroom has been thoughtfully designed to create a warm and inviting retreat. At its heart is a stunning wooden super king-size bed with a luxurious memory foam mattress, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. Wake up to breathtaking, far-reaching views towards Dartmoor, an ideal spot to watch the sunrise if you're an early riser.

The beautifully designed bathroom offers both style and comfort, featuring a relaxing bath and a spacious shower. Natural stone and glass mosaic tiles blend seamlessly with large Spanish Marcello tiles, all complemented by warm sage green walls. 
A lighted mirror with a built-in Bluetooth speaker adds a modern touch, perfect for setting a soothing ambiance.

Patio & Gardens

French Windows lead out from the sitting room on to a large patio, with dining table and chairs. This area is in full sun throughout the day and is a great place to enjoy al fresco dining, whether breakfast, lunch or dinner. An awning is available for a little shade on the hottest of days in the sun!

Opposite the patio is a private garden, where you can enjoy the sunshine from morning till sunset.
Dartmoor View is a shared seating area, with sun loungers providing shade on a hot afternoon. Also great for a sunny morning breakfast.
The patio is also a perfect area for a yoga or meditation practice, as is Dartmoor View, both of which attract the early morning sun.

    "Georgina's cottage is stylish, beautifully decorated and equipped with the latest gadgets. There is also a lovely patio and garden for the guests' exclusive use, and these are great places to watch the sunset over Bodmin Moor. Being in the country you can enjoy a breathtaking starfield on a clear night, and the sunrises over Dartmoor are stunning. Georgina herself is an excellent hostess, keen to ensure everything is just perfect for your stay, but at the same time making sure your peace and quiet isn't disturbed. We really enjoyed our stay and can't wait for our next visit!" Dave & Wendy.

    "The Cottage is very well appointed and comfortable with all modern amenities. Location is rural and quiet but only a mile or two from the A30 Oakhampton/Launceston Road. It would be an excellent central location to explore North or South coast or Dartmoor. So we went down South as far as Tavistock and up to Bude in the North. The countryside is pretty with rolling hills and single track roads and lovely little villages. Location is adjoining the main house but feels very private and has great views over the countryside. Ideal for couples who like exploring in the car." Paul

    "The cottage is in a beautiful location with views of the sunrise over Dartmoor and is perfectly located for exploring both Devon and Cornwall, whether you wish to visit the coast or take a walk on the moor. It is fully equipped with everything you need, is beautifully decorated and was spotlessly clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can highly recommend a stay here - the super king size bed is the most comfortable we have ever slept in too!! Special thanks to Georgina for making it a wonderful stay in her beautiful cottage." Helen & Tony, Tewkesbury.

    “Maria and I would like to thank you for your hospitality during our stay. Your attention to detail, and all those extra little touches, made all the difference if we compare to other places we have stayed. You should give yourselves a huge pat on the back for a job well done. Make no mistake, we will most definitely recommend a stay at higher kellacott cottage, to anyone travelling to your neck of the woods. Thanks again.” Rob & Maria, The Wirrel.

    “My boyfriend and I stayed in Georgina's cottage during August Bank Holiday, and it was the most amazing stay. The cottage is a few minutes drive from the main road and is very quite and peaceful, perfect for a relaxing vacation. We could only stay one day in the cottage during the sunset time (due to busy schedule we planned for Cornwall), but I highly recommend sitting outside to enjoy the view of beautiful Cornwall sunset! The cottage itself is well maintained with great amenities and decor. Georgina and her husband are very kind and they also let us borrow few blankets ahead of the play at Minack theater. I would definitely revisit her cottage.” Rachel, Indian Springs.

    "What can I say - Sparkling clean accommodation and very well located for visiting Devon and Cornwall. The cottage had everything we needed and more with extra touches here and there. Fresh flowers and fruit and Georgina was on hand to check us in and show us around. Beautiful surroundings with amazing views and a great nights sleep thanks to the huge bed and very comfortable mattress. Everything is so well thought out and fixtures and fittings are top notch. We wish we could have stayed longer, but will be back." John & Michell, Kent.
