Overview
Description
The house is a Grade II* listed sixteenth century house with a rambling garden in a hamlet in the Dartmoor National Park in South Devon.Offering accommodation for up to eight people, the house is at the south end of a range of three dwellings, and has views across fields and moor. It is full of historical interest and original features, with carved and painted beams, mullioned windows, granite fireplaces, a stone spiral staircase, recessed window seats, and many other interesting nooks and crannies to explore. Due to the staircase, the house is not really suitable for toddlers.
Comfortably but not luxuriously furnished, it is a much loved family house with a very welcoming atmosphere, showing some signs of wear and tear (not everything matches!), filled with paintings, antiques, curios, books, maps and games. With the south moor and winding Dart valley on its doorstep, it is an ideal base for walkers and there is also a wide range of activities for children in the area. The south Devon coast is within an hour’s drive.

Leave ReviewAmazing new year's week in this gorgeous house
By Hannah on 04-Jan-2026What an amazing new year’s week in this gorgeous house! Perfect for my group of friends, including furry friends! All of us love walking and we enjoyed numerous walks directly from the house and just a short drive away, so many options, river walks, tors, snow covered hills, just beautiful. The house was perfect, warm, cozy, plenty of towels and blankets, games, plenty of space and we lit the log fire every night. NYE we cooked a big group dinner and ate at the big kitchen table. We visited a local riverside sauna 10 mins away, the riverford field kitchen for a New Year’s Day special meal and the gorgeous cafe on the green for a big cooked breakfast - all just a short drive. Hosts are so friendly, helpful and kind (sorry for the lost key and thank you so much for not minding!) and left lots of suggestions for places to go! We all loved this trip and would definitely come back in a warmer season too…. Thank you to our lovely hosts for making us feel so welcome.
Privileged to come and stay
By Alexandra Malm on 01-Aug-2024We had a wonderful time in what is clearly a much loved family home. We felt privileged to come and stay! The surroundings are beautiful, this is a fantastic place for people who love nature and wish to relax in a quiet environment. We loved walking across the fields for a cool swim in the river. Our hosts were very friendly and gave great recommendations.

So peaceful and a lovely garden too
By Sarah Bowden on 20-Jun-2024Beautiful homely cottage in great location on Dartmoor. So peaceful and a lovely garden too. So much to see and do locally. Climb the tors, swim in the dart, seek out the great food. We had a brilliant time. Thanks Will.

Fantastic huge cottage, steeped in history, oozing character
By Nichola Ronchetti on 12-Sep-2023We''ve just had 7 glorious days staying at this fantastic huge cottage, steeped in history and oozing character. The setting was perfect, really close to the River Dart for fantastic wild swimming spots, water activities and walking. The lovely walk to the Tavistock Inn was done quite a few times! I''d thoroughly recommend for a large family gathering in beautiful surroundings.
