Tottiford, Trenchford and Kennick reservoirs are about an hour away on foot or a ten minute drive. Also the National Trust estate of Parke in Bovey Tracey is well worth a visit. There is easy access to Dartmoor National Park; highlights include Haytor, Houndtor and Widdecombe-on-the-Moor. Visit beautiful coastal locations in South Devon such as Teignmouth, Shaldon, Torquay and Dartmouth. The cathedral city of Exeter is just half an hour away by road or why not take a scenic railway journey there from Newton Abbot train station.

One of three cottages at Greatrock Farm sleeping up to four guests, this charming ground floor cottage is part of the main farmhouse.  The three cottages altogether can sleep up to eleven people which is perfect for gatherings with family or friends. There is an open plan lounge, dining and kitchen area with a double sofa bed. The main bedroom has a king-size bed and the bathroom has a walk-in shower, WC, wash basin and heated towel radiator.

There are large gardens to explore with additional shared seating areas, an outdoor kitchen (with a wood fired BBQ and pizza oven), a croquet lawn, petanque court and an ornamental greenhouse from which you can observe a large variety of woodland birds feeding throughout the day.  The games barn (with home cinema) has a wood burning stove for cooler days and bi-fold doors which can be fully opened in good weather. Enjoy listening to music on the sound system whilst playing pool, table tennis, darts, table football and traditional pub games with competition standard equipment. Or relax watching your favourite film online or choose a DVD from our extensive collection. As guests you will be welcome to visit the resident alpacas whenever you like.

Lovely little cottage. P Beautifully furnished with top quality fittings. The kitchen is small so dont plan to cook a master chef meal, but it is very well equipped.

Following a difficult and stressful final 8 mile drive through narrow, unmarked lanes, the Cottage was a delight to eventually come upon. 10 out of 10 for walkers, situated on the edge of Dartmoor. Wonderful for returning to after chosen hikes, from several routed beyond the Cottage front door. Don't attempt to use the car until going home time.
