In the vendors words -

'My three daughters and I have shared 15 years of happy memories in Knowle Cottage. Our endearing cottage is embellished with charming 16th century characteristics and generous thriving gardens. The summers have been sublime as the garden is drenched in sunlight all day. The girls and I have enjoyed barbecues, badminton and Aperol spritzes in the glorious summer evenings, whilst we watched foxes, deer and rabbits in the field behind. Our rented field has been a delight, as we have welcomed two horses into our family, which we ride along the glorious woodland paths to Castle Drogo for coffee and cake. My family have enjoyed many warm and cheerful Christmases in Knowle Cottage, which has been a true highlight of our stay. We embraced local festive traditions such as singing carols in the popular village Church, cutting our own tree at the nearby farm and sipping mulled cider at the pub.'
