As you enter Tubs Cottage you are instantly greeted with its cottage-like charm. Refurbished in 2022, you find yourself in the well-equipped kitchen area, with its wooden beamed ceiling and quirky shaped corners. There is a door from the kitchen area leading onto the family bathroom, a spacious room with bath and shower above. The living area is accessed via the other side of the kitchen and it is as if this cosy room hugs you when you enter, a great place to relax in front of the electric fire, watching TV with a glass of wine after a long day out. From here there is a couple of steps up leading into a conservatory-like ’breakfast room’ area with table and chair seating. The staircase leads from the living room to the first floor where two of the three bedrooms are located. These bedrooms both have a double bed and good size with storage. Up a second flight of stairs leads to the loft room (guests are advised that there is a fixed rope handrail leading up to this room and there is a restricted head height due to the pitch of the roof). This room makes a 2nd living area with twin beds. The small front garden/patio with garden furniture and parasol is perfect for watching the world go by on summer’s evenings.

Tubs Cottage is Grade ll listed thatched cottage dating back to around 1450. It is situated just outside of the heart of Newton Abbot and benefits from an array of amenities on your doorstep. There is a local pub with pool table directly across the road with private car park serving food and drinks. Local takeaways and fish and chip shops are just down the road, as well as a local convenience store and post office. There is also a small retail park with a variety of shops all within walking distance. The local seaside town of Shaldon and Teignmouth, with its pier and beaches, is just a short 10-minute drive away, and the city of Exeter is just a 20-minute drive from the cottage. There is a railway station just 1½ miles away, if you want a car free day out. The surrounding towns which make up the English Riviera are also all nearby and make great days out for all the family!
