Scenery Cottage is a quaint cottage in the centre of the ancient village of Bridford, high up on the eastern edge of Dartmoor. The cottage, which accommodates up to four adults, is believed to be over 200 years old and was once the village school. Scenery Cottage is close to the 17th century Thomas Becket Church as well as the highly recommended Bridford Inn. Best of all, the cottage looks out over wonderful scenery (hence the name) and there are stunning walks literally from the doorstep. Whilst it is the perfect place for a long weekend break, there is more than enough to do and see to reward an extended stay too. The cottage has a kitchen/dining area which is fully equipped and with a wood burner. After a fun filled day exploring Devon, you can kick back on the sofa in the cosy living room, relax and watch your favourite programme on the Smart Freeview TV. Heading up to the first floor, there are two comfortably furnished bedrooms. One has a double bed and an en-suite shower room and the other has twin beds. On the same level is the family bathroom which has a beautiful freestanding bath.
Bridford is located in the beautiful Teign Valley, providing an excellent base from which to explore this wonderful area. Although very popular with walkers and horse riders, the village is not on the usual tourist trail and has remained unspoilt. This area is one of Dartmoor’s best kept secrets, a quiet, traditional village set in beautiful countryside in an area that has been captivating visitors for generations. The magical waterfalls, lakes and ancient woodlands of Canonteign Falls are just 4 miles away as well as the Teign Valley Golf Course. The wild bird sanctuary and reserve at Dawlish Warren is nearby, as is Dartmoor National Park which offers excellent opportunities for outdoor pursuits including walks around the local reservoirs and to explore the various different tors on the moorland.
Whether you want a quiet gentle stroll or an exhilarating mountain biking experience, there’s something for you at Haldon Forest Park. Go Ape and Go Segway are based at Haldon Forest as well as a range of four walking and five cycling trails to suit all abilities. South Devon’s bustling resorts and beautiful beaches are just a short drive away including Teignmouth which is 30 minutes, 35 minutes to Dawlish and Exmouth can be reached in around 40 minutes which offers opportunities for paddleboarding, windsurfing and sailing. With beautiful surroundings, Scenery Cottage is the perfect choice for a truly memorable holiday. This is a great base for touring Dartmoor and South Devon. Beach 16½ miles.

Scenery Cottage is in the most beautiful location, the views from the front are gorgeous and the village is pretty and peaceful. We really appreciated the milk, wine and logs- a really thoughtful gesture. We enjoyed the open fire in the lounge and the big bath upstairs.However, as previously mentioned in other reviews, the decor is dated and in some places looking quite scruffy and frankly a bit ‘grubby’ ( skirting boards, inside cupboards and draws) . The lounge and front bedroom curtains were difficult to close as the hooks on the rails were broken. The en suite shower room light was broken as the string was too short to reach. We had a lovely week as the weather was fantastic and wonderful walks abound. It’s a shame as with a few hundred quid spent on some paint and a bit of time and effort this place could be a gem.
