About North Cottage

WELCOME to North Cottage. An intriguing visit awaits you. A small garden which has the Tardis effect. It has gradually evolved over the years, and is continually changing. Owners are plant enthusiasts and always find room to shoe-horn in another interesting specimen. Plenty of flowers, fruit and vegetables, some areas are formal, others less so. Garden cleverly segmented; corners to explore, secret hideaways to reveal, sheds and shelters into which to retreat. Pottery and sculpture enhances garden and orchard. Herbaceous borders, fruit trees, vegetables, pond and coppice wood. Pottery and handicraft are all made by owners, (https://northcottagecreations.com/) as are the delicious home-made lunches and teas. On our smallholding are Greyface Dartmoor sheep, ponies and cattle, free range runner ducks and bantams. We are wildlife friendly, with compost and muck heaps for snakes, nest boxes in the woodland, ponds for frogs and newts. The coppice produces firewood, chestnut for hurdles, hazel, willow for weaving, bean poles and raw material for the furniture. Altogether, it feeds us, warms us and delights the spirit, we hope you will enjoy your visit, and find some real pleasure, inspiration and amusement. New to see is a Shepherds Hut for B and B guests, find details on Facebook – Duck House – Tisbury Row. For more craft/smallholding information see Website- North Cottage Creations.

There are also exciting metalwork sculptures, decorations and plant supports by Metal Menagerie. Please see NGS website for extra pop-up open days.
