A warm welcome awaits you at Shute Cottage, Doddiscombsleigh, Devon, a home steeped in charm and character.

Shute is situated in an idyllic, secluded setting within the beautiful, wooded Teign Valley, a mile from The Dartmoor National Park.

The house nestles amongst rolling hills, a 5 minute stroll from the historic village of Doddiscombsleigh and only 8 miles from the cathedral city of Exeter with its mainline station, access to the M5 motorway, and busy airport.

Shute is a 15th century, thatched, Grade II listed Devon longhouse. It stands in 5 acres of sunny gardens, woodland and meadows with stream, which you are welcome to explore during your stay.

Shute consists of two tastefully decorated double bedrooms, each with their own private bathroom for your exclusive use. One bedroom has a king-sized bed, the other a super-king bed. Twin beds can be organised.

The house is centrally heated during the winter. Both rooms have uninterrupted views of gardens leading out to sweeping meadows and woodland. The only sounds are birdsong, trickling water from the stream, bleating sheep, and horses trotting down the lane. Each room has its own coffee/tea-making facilities and Sky TV. The house has a non-smoking policy.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Shute is in an ideal position for a rustic, relaxing break with the popular Nobody Inn a short stroll down the lane and a public footpath across the fields into the next valley. It is a perfect base from which to explore Dartmoor with its beautiful villages, varied activities and attractions.
