Property information

MONKLEIGH – COACHMANS COTTAGE OVERVIEW Coachmans Cottage is a characterful self-catering retreat nestled through an archway in a cobbled courtyard within the historic grounds of Monkleigh’s old rectory. Dating back over 400 years, it’s believed to have once served as the main house's bakehouse. The original bread oven still sits beside a cosy wood-burning stove, adding a touch of history and charm. Located on the edge of Monkleigh village, the cottage offers a peaceful escape within walking distance of the popular village pub, The Bell Inn, known for its welcoming atmosphere and excellent food. Set in 3 acres of private gardens and grounds, including a wildlife garden and tranquil pond, it’s the perfect setting to unwind and reconnect with nature. Guests have full access to the grounds, with outdoor furniture and a charcoal BBQ provided for al fresco dining. Please note: due to the open nature of the garden and unfenced pond, children must be supervised. Private off-road parking is available directly in front of the cottage. LIVING AREA The open-plan living space features rustic beams and a wood-burning stove that keeps the cottage cosy year-round. Logs are provided free of charge on request, making it an ideal spot to relax in any season.
