A fantastic family retreat on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, there is something for all generations here. With roots dating back to the 1400s, this property has embraced every aspect of its most recent chapter and provides an ideal haven for all, whether you are looking for a relaxed getaway immersed in nature or a fun-filled family break.

A picturesque thatched cottage, both the exterior and interiors unpretentiously hark back to bygone years. With sloping floors, split levels and exposed beam ceilings, it is brimming with character and has a quirky, welcoming feel throughout. Come inside and wrestle off your layers in the utility area – a useful space post-walk. Whether you are gathered around in the spacious lounge, seated around the dining table or chatting away in the kitchen, there is plenty of space for both socialising and relaxing as you please. A favourite amongst budding chefs and eager pups, the kitchen is well-equipped with everything you could need. Make use of the ample worktop space and large gas range-style oven as you prepare family favourites. A winner amongst little kids and big kids at heart, the ground floor’s games room with table football and games is the perfect solution for rainy days. Up the steep, cottage-style stairs, you will come to a sloped landing that branches off to each of the bedrooms and family bathroom with feature roll-top bath. So that everyone has somewhere to snuggle into, there is a twin bedroom, small double bedroom, double bedroom (access by one side of the bed) and a master king-size bedroom with en-suite steam shower. Outside, relax in the private hot tub and sauna as the kids play on the lawn with the dogs. A shared dog walking paddock is available and is accessed via a short walk along a road. Guests will be responsible for their dogs when using the paddock.

The cottage is full of character and very well equipped. We were very warm and comfortable and had plenty of space. The hot tub and sauna were a welcome respite from the dreadful January weather.

Stayed here for a girls weekend, March 2023. Absolutely fell in love with the property as soon as we walked in. Very spacious, clean and well equipped.

Wonderfull old quirky cottage with plenty of character. A garden full of surprises. Well equipped, completely dog friendly and welcome hamper was a lovely treat. Hot tub was great addition for those tired bones after walks on the moor ( 10/15 mins drive away) would recommend for any dog lovers

This is a beautiful country property which is well set up! The attention to detail is fantastic, from the well equipped kitchen to the games cupboard/room. The only negative things I'd say is: there is a leakage problem in the property, we woke up one morning after heavy rain and the dining room was completely flooded. The beams in this property arRead moree very low and the floors are uneven so you have to walk around with caution. Finally, the wifi does not work and there is no/very minimal reception. Hide

Lovely quirky cottage with loads of room. Only downside are the low doorways which are typical of this type of old building but for me at 62 and my son at 64 we must have hit our head on every door frame. Nice secluded location but is at least an hours drive from most attractions. Hot tub and sauna are a nice touch. Owners also lovely & helpful.

Spacious thirteen century thatched cottage full of character. Lots of comfortable space to live in. Great hot tub and sauna at the very private end of the garden. Kids loved the garden and the games room. Beds and sofas are comfortable and the garden was very secure at the front of the property (where the busy road is) and reasonably secure (unlessRead more a child or dog is an escape artist) at the back which leads onto fields. Would definitely recommend for a family with dogs and kids. Hide

Although the cottage was full of character and had its quirks it definitely requires some TLC. Sofas were uncomfortable, could do with replacing. We'd advise you to bring your own towels. Unfortunately cleanliness wasn't of the highest standard, mainly the kitchen.

Hot tub was a great extra although chlorine was too strong so only managed to use a couple of times. Hide
