This property enjoys a tranquil countryside location close to the edge of Dartmoor National Park, where visitors can enjoy access to miles of stunning walks, cycle rides and pony treks, across the ancient moorland. The nearby town of Tavistock offers a weekly market, as well as an interesting array of shops and eateries, alongside a leisure centre and a theatre.

The heart of the property is the lounge/diner, with its unusual rounded walls, exposed beams, woodburner effect electric stove , small dining table, TV with DVD.

Patio doors from the lounge bring guests out to the private patio area, a lovely space surrounded with plants, with a table and chairs, giving guests a space to enjoy al fresco drinks or meals amongst the farm’s peaceful surroundings.

Very relaxed stay in comfy, homely, well equipped, quiet holiday cottage. Appealing quirkily shaped building, with a pleasant, sun-trap patio with views of Dartmoor. Easy parking right outside the cottage. Excellent location close to the lovely town of Tavistock with all its facilities on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. Also within a day trips Read morereach of the south Devon coast. Would definitely recommend. Hide

We really enjoyed staying here. It was a lovely setting quite remote in its location but not too far from Tavistock and other attractions. The host was extremely welcoming and friendly and flexible with the checking in time. We would recommend it. The only slight downside was there was very little in walking distance, but this can also be its appeaRead morel. Hide
