A PLACE WORTH KNOWING

Thoughtful coffee beneath the thatch

Speciality coffee in a characterful village building, from a roaster supporting animal charities.

Sanctuary brings a modern coffee stop to thatched Cockington. Founders Marcus and Rhian built the brand around good coffee and support for animal charities, before opening their Devon shop in May 2025. Come for a cup during a village wander, ask about the beans and choose something to brew at home. The old stone building is part of the pleasure: an unexpectedly contemporary little stop within this historic village.
