Within the orchard, each cottage has a private sitting-out area; Grattan Cottage has a raised gazebo whilst Manor Cottage has the use of a private barbecue hut.

Croquet is available by prior arrangement with the owner.

The village of Bow is a short distance away and has a pub and well-stocked local convenience store. Due to the central location, the cottages make an ideal base from which to explore the surrounding Devon countryside.
