  • Fantastic walks on the doorstep through Dartmoor National Park
  • Pretty, enclosed garden, perfect for summer afternoons outside with children and pets alike
  • Within easy reach of the historic cathedral city of Exeter
Property code: 46409


You and your canine companions will never be short of stunning scenery to discover when you choose to stay at this gorgeously quirky one-level property at the base of one of Dartmoor’s most iconic tors. Mile upon mile of walking trails through the national park is just waiting to be explored on two legs or four, or you can head out on your bike to take a more energetic four-legged friend on a two-wheeled adventure.

After a day spent roaming the wilds of South Devon, you don’t have to head straight indoors, as the enclosed garden and private patio are perfect for children and hounds alike, with a convenient outdoor sink to clean up those mucky hands and paws before you turn in for the night. But before lights out, make time to cosy up in front of the coal-effect electric fire and relive the day’s adventures; whether you choose to snuggle up on the sofa, in an armchair or on a favourite blanket or bed, the open-plan living space ensures that no one will be left out in the cold.

Although Dartmoor is quite literally on your doorstep, civilisation is not that far away. There is a pub and tearoom within 1 mile, less than 2 miles away you can discover a farm shop bursting with fresh local goodies and a 4-mile drive (or walk or cycle if you prefer) will lead you to Bovey Tracey, with a supermarket for the humans and pet grooming for the pampered pooch. For cultured hounds, the historic cathedral city of Exeter is 20 miles north-east.

This is a really lovely place, comfy and cosy but also a bit quirky as an old WI hall. The fittings and equipment are all top quality and everything clean and in great condition. Magical fairy lights along the beams are the final touch. It's the perfect place to return to after a long hike.

Lovely stay. This is the second time we have stayed here. The location is perfect for walking on Dartmoor. It is well equipped, warm and cosy but also has a very spacious living area. Washing machine and heated airer were very handy. Two lovely pubs within walking distance. I would highly recommend.
