Tuckenhay Cottage | Waters Edge, Exclusive Village Location

2 Bedroom Cottage in Tuckenhay

Duck Cottage is a superb holiday home in the delightful waterside hamlet of Tuckenhay, just 10 minutes from Totnes. Right on the water's edge on the tidal Bow Creek, it's one of South Devon's prime spots for a self-catering holiday. Ceiling-height windows and French doors give sweeping views of the creek – as does the private patio. Perfect for couples - with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and private parking. Tuckenhay has two renowned waterside inns – ideal for a hearty meal after a country walk.
Accommodation:
The front door opens into the cosy living room, with a sofa and armchairs, TV and DVD player. The exposed beams give the room a real country cottage feel. The far end of the living room leads into the sunroom, a lovely light-filled room with French doors into the patio garden. The sunroom and patio overlook Mill Creek and are wonderful quiet spots to read or watch the birdlife on the river. At the back of the sunroom, there's a utility room where you will find the tumble drier and freezer.
The well-equipped kitchen-diner gives the classic country cottage theme continues throughout with tiled floor and exposed beams. The kitchen window offers views over the creek and is complete with an induction hob, oven, fridge, microwave, washing machine and dishwasher. The dining table seats four comfortably.
Glass-sided stairs lead up from the living room to the two bedrooms and two bathrooms. On the first floor is the first of the two bedrooms, a beautiful room with exposed beams overlooking the water. Furnished with a superking-size bed (which can be configured as two singles upon request at the time of booking). The family bathroom has a bath and an overhead shower also with views of the creek.
Upstairs again and there's the en-suite master bedroom with king-size bed and dual aspect views over the water. The house has central heating as well as underfloor heating on the ground floor.
Please be aware that, due to the proximity to the water, we do not feel this property is suitable for young children (over 12s and babies are welcome).
Outside:
The patio garden accessed from the sunroom is right on the water and has wrought-iron garden furniture. It's a truly lovely tranquil place to unwind at the end of the day.
Parking:
There is space to park at the front of the property.
Nearby:
A 5-minute walk will take you to two great waterside pubs: The Maltsters Arms and The Watermans Arms. Sharpham Vineyard is also within walking distance Ashprington village. Historic Totnes is a 10-minute drive, as is the closest beach, Blackpool Sands.

Summary: Lovely cottage, it had everything we needed ….. although maybe a pint of milk would have been useful, as there is no shop in the village. A very restful weekend ……..and beautiful weather was the icing on the cake .

Summary: Comfortably exceeding all expectations, we hope to return for longer stay soon. .

Summary: We had a lovely stay at duck cottage. The perfect place for a restful break. Our only issue was parking we had two cars and it proved to be difficult. Very limited space to park in the village. If we had know this it would have made our trip easier

Summary: Duck Cottage is a hidden gem nestled in the picturesque countryside of Tuckenhay. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the serene surroundings and the charming character of the cottage itself. The property is immaculately maintained, with beautifully landscaped gardens and the river running by attracts an array of wildlife, making it a perfect retreat for nature lovers. The cottage interior is tastefully decorated, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. We were particularly impressed with the well-equipped kitchen, cozy living area, and comfortable bedrooms, all of which made our stay feel like a home away from home. The location is ideal for those looking to explore the surrounding countryside, with several scenic walking trails and quaint villages nearby. Overall, Duck Cottage exceeded our expectations in every way. It’s the perfect place to unwind, recharge, and enjoy the beauty of the countryside.

Summary: Duck cottage was as described and was well equipped. Such a relaxing and comfortable few days. We loved sitting on the patio (or in the sun room when a cold wind was blowing) and watching the changing views of the tidal creek. Good for bird watching and beautiful scenery in the area. Thoroughly recommend as a tranquil place to get away and unwind.

Summary: The cottage is very well equipped with everything we needed and very tastefully designed and decorated. We loved the hamlet of Tuckenhay and the location of the cottage , right on the river, is very special. We loved seeing the river in its different moods as the tide changed, and the profusion of bird life on the river was a joy. Very helpful agents.

Summary: Had a great stay in an idyllic position. Very comfortable, clean and well-equipped. Definitely hope to return.

Liz P. Apr 11, 2024 09:36:51 PM

Summary: Loved our return visit to Duck Cottage - everything you need, and more, and in such a cracking spot . Even the rain didn’t dampen our spirits . Thank you !

Summary: Stylish and comfortable cottage in an stunning, idyllic location in rural Devon. Attention to detail throughout and very well equipped. There are beautiful river / creek views. Some of the driving in the local lanes is only for the brave hearted - be prepared to reverse back to passing places to let other drivers past. It's not a problem - but good to be aware of it if you are not a confident reverser.

Summary: I’ve given Duck Cottage excellent reviews in all areas bar one :- Safety The stairs- particularly the second flight are very steep and dangerous for older people and young children. Any wobble leaving the first floor bedroom which is directly off the first flight of stairs could prove fatal. Our grownup children were equally concerned about slipping on the second flight. They had to put a child’s stair gate across the first flight outside the bedroom to help avoid an accident. The second issue was items such as the coffee machine being placed on the window alcoves which were so low that hitting your head to access anything was a certainty. Finally there is a high step/low wall behind the garden gate which makes it hard to use that entrance.
