Welcome to The Garden Apartment at One Drake Road, a characterful two-bedroom retreat in the heart of Tavistock, newly refreshed with bold colour, hand-painted detail and layers of warmth and charm. Tucked beneath the main townhouse, this self-contained space blends cottage comfort with creative flair. Think rustic beams, stone floors, and vibrant walls in Marmelo orange, mustard and blush pink ~ all softened with new textured rugs, patterned curtains and fresh linens. Every corner tells a story, from the hand-finished beams in the main bedrooms to the vintage “Circus” signs that glow by the fires. The open-plan living areas feature two cosy sitting zones, perfect for curling up with a book or a glass of wine. Both bedrooms are styled with quality bedding, cushions and florals ~ one with a statement blue headboard and another with a patchwork of botanical prints, each bringing its own personality and calm. The shower-room offers a generous rainfall shower with patterned tile flooring, complemented by soft towels and greenery. The adjoining kitchenette and bar area, finished in cheerful red and yellow, opens to a small private courtyard — ideal for morning coffee or evening drinks. Eclectic, welcoming and distinctly One Drake Road, this apartment captures the spirit of Tavistock: a place where heritage meets creativity, and every stay feels like coming home.

Tavistock is a thriving, beautiful friendly market town that is worthy of any visitor. An ancient stannary town and home of the cream tea, Tavistock is the only town in Devon to hold world heritage status. The vibrancy and uniqueness of Tavistock is undeniable with a range of beautiful local independent shops which are a far cry from today's typical high street. Not to be overlooked is the famous pannier market or the award-winning farmers’ market. It is truly a shoppers paradise.
