Overview
Description
Step back in time in this 16th-century Grade II listed cottage, situated on its own in 2.5 acres of woodland abundant in wildlife. Rabbits, foxes, squirrels. Badgers, deer, and many species of birds are often seen. Because of its location (the cottage is surrounded by moorland), it is a true walker's paradise, with Hound Tor a couple of minutes' stroll. The moorland villages of Ashburton, Bovey Tracey, Chagford, and Widecombe-in-Moor are within a 20-minute drive.Please note we only accept bookings from Friday to Friday.
There is no vehicular access to the property, you park at the top, then walk 250m downhill through the woods. We supply a wheelbarrow for your luggage
The property is not suitable for those with walking difficulties

Leave ReviewBreakfast with the birds
By Stephen B on 12-May-2025An absolute gem of a place. We were blessed with a week of good spring weather, which meant that every day we were able to have breakfast outside and enjoy the plentiful variety of bird song in the woodland. The walk down and up from the property is definitely not for those with any mobility or strength issues, but it just added to the sense of peace and isolation for us. 5/12/2025 at 7:47 AM

Red Riding hoods Grandma's house, Idyllic!
By Penelope B. on 20-Jul-2024We had an amazing week at this little idyllic cottage. Family of 4, the 'Kids' are 16 and 20 happily shared the twin room. I wished I had taken less when we first descended the steep path through the woods, but after a couple of ventures out, it became the perfect warm up to our Dartmoor tor adventures! We cooked, talked, played games by the fire and my son took his guitar to entain us. It really was the most perfect holiday. The circular walk from the cottage around Houndtor to Haytor (8miles ish) was our favourite day. It was an easy walk with moderate elements. It was a hot day and we cooled off in streams along the way. The medieval village was beautiful.
Perfect getaway from everything!
By Katrina R. on 01-Apr-2024Gratnor is a fairy tale place. Leave your car at the top of the hill, walk across a field and down through the woods, over a little stream and into another world. You could stay here the whole time and not see another soul (other than the sheep in the field next door), or you can walk up on the moors all day and return for an evening by the fire. One week at the end of March and we had sunshine, torrential rain, high winds, hail, snow, thunder and lightning and a mini flood. And we loved every moment. If you like an old world adventure, this is the place to go.
