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

room, per night. Concessions available for longer stays.
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,

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 offers two large,
stylish, double bedrooms, each with their own private bathroom.
The rooms overlook unspoilt wooded countryside and meadows doused in birdsong.
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.
You are welcome to relax in the dining room with its open-hearth fireplace,
wood burning stove and bread oven.
