Great day out. Ample pay and display parking. Beautiful thatched roofed cottages to stroll around and then the main green leading up to the house is fabulous! Great for taking kids to ride their scooters and bikes. Also has the cutest little church on site that you can light a candle in. And a small play park nearby some quaint shops. Then the other side is beautiful ponds with ducks. Really lovely day out and a beautiful place.

What a beautiful little village, so peaceful and quiet. It's like you stepped back in time. We had some dinner at the weavers cottage tea garden, and the food was amazing. Which was followed by a beautiful cream tea, highly recommended, lol. Even the toilets was immaculate. Well done

If you can......walk through the water meadow to get there, it is mostly boardwalk but abit rough for wheelchairs in places( you can take the road which is wide and tarmaced and easier for wheelchair user) it is really pretty with it's meadow streams, wildlife, plants and flowers (it's about a mile maybe less) the main part of the park is paved and in the midst of a quaint village with tearooms, gift shop, ice cream and the beautiful large Drum Inn with loads of outdoor seating for drinks / food. There are no WC's in the village unless you use the pub (unless they have reopened the carpark ones) there is plenty of parking in the car parks in the village. Take a walk to the park and follow signs to the ponds it is all paved so wheelchair access, the ponds are full of ducks, fish, dragonflies, tadpoles, ducklings, birdsong and colourful planting, then take the path up to the Manour house tea rooms where public toilets can be found, they are clean. Across the way is an old church where you can go in and look around (it is quite beauful) then across the way to the pretty walled rose garden and through the arch to the stableyard where you will find a glass blower shop, blacksmith, gin maker and jewelry maker (worth a look!!) There are also other craft units...chocolatier, mosaic shop etc. There are also woodland walks. All in all this a super place to visit which will heighten your senses in every way

Lovely spot, so much space and peace, great for families or just a picnic or walk, had a scone and tea in the main hall was lovely so were the staff. Highly recommend a visit. We were on holiday.

Cockington village and country park. What an absolute little Gem of a place! Beautiful "chocolate box" village full of thatched cottages, tea rooms and a huge pub. What more could you want? Well, there's a crackingly good park to wander round, complete with its own little lakes, play areas and we'll tended gardens to tickle your fancy too. Access to the park and village is easy, albeit down a lot of narrow Devon lanes and, im sure in high season, parking would be a nightmare, but we arrived just before 10 AM and there was no problem getting there or parking up. Parking is a bit pricey, but its well worth it. Highly recommended 😀😃
