About this property
This detached cottage converted from an old milking parlour is situated amongst farmland in Sampford Courtenay. With a charming garden, this is a calming cottage for a relaxing break to recharge your batteries. Head on in to the open plan living area, all big, bright and beautiful, where you can watch TV, sit back and gaze over the garden or open the doors to the sunny patio on a fine day. You have a handy bedroom on the ground floor, or take the stairs from the sitting area up to the gallery, a quiet area to read or play board games, then through to a twin bedroom which is made private from the sitting area below with a curtain. All around the cottage are lovely gardens, well tended and a special place to wander and spot a wide range of plants and wildlife around the ponds and brook. Stroll beyond to the good village inn, just ¼ mile along a lane, to enjoy an excellent menu, or the bustling town of Okehampton offers a choice of eateries as well as a cinema and leisure centre. You can coarse fish nearby or head to Dartmoor for excellent walking or off road cycling. With its central location, The Old Parlour is a brilliant place for soaking up the peace or touring the countryside and coast of Devon.
Sampford Courtenay, a sleepy but picturesque Devon village, and Okehampton, a thriving community known as the gateway to the moor'. The whole area is a country lover's dream. The high tors of northern Dartmoor dominate the scenery and provide a splendid backdrop to nearby Okehampton

Wonderful gardens, like having a mini Wisley just on your doorstep. Andrew, Gillian and the wonderful Lombok are great hosts. Can't rate it highly enough.

We enjoyed our stay. 2 areas which could have been improved included. 1. On day 3 we woke to find a stream of ants running across the living room to the kitchen, some ants on kitchen work surface which wed wiped down the night before and despite using the outside bins for food waste or recycling etc. 2. On calling the property owner ahead of our arrival I was disappointed by the phone reception from a family member landline. When I explained the reason for my call advised by Sykes re arrangements for key collection. I was told rather dismissively 'it was pretty obvious. The key would be in the door'. Shortly after, I did get a call back from the property owner who was far more welcoming. Whilst we enjoyed our stay, the phone interaction with the family member meant if we were to recommend the property to others we would advise not using the landline number.
