Property code: ROUND

Experience a one-of-a-kind holiday in this entirely unique property, a converted roundhouse within reach of the Dartmoor National Park. Sleeping just two guests, this holiday home lends itself wonderfully to couples seeking romance and adventure amongst Devon’s magnificent countryside, with walks on your doorstep and beaches a short drive away. Having filled your days with exciting excursions, head home and enjoy the marvellous views out over Dartmoor from the comfort of this first-floor apartment.

Rustic charm meets comfort in this expertly blended property, where exposed stone walls, sloped ceilings with wooden beams and a distinctive round layout are combined with all your up-to-date furnishings and appliances. Venture up an external stone staircase to reach the interiors. Inside, you’ll find a lounge/diner with exceptionally comfy seating, a Smart TV, and the kitchen just adjacent, a one-stop place for enjoying slow mornings and restful nights. The double bedroom is also on this floor, along with a full-sized family bathroom. Whilst the accommodation sits on a sprawling 160-acre farm, you’ll be pleased to find a designated patio area with furniture that’s for this property’s sole use, ideal when enjoying gentle warmth at the end of a summer’s day. You will also have access to shared gardens.

One particular Devonshire destination is the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), just a couple of miles from home. Amongst so many other Tamar Valley Trails, a particular call-out is the Tamar Coast to Coast Way, a route you’re welcome to move into from the nearby town of Gunnislake (3 miles), following a pathway down to its endpoint at the Rame Head Heritage Coast (18.5 miles). This walkway largely encompasses scenery along the River Tamar and also shares some sections with the AONB’s 35-mile Discovery Trail.

Second stay in the fabulous Upper Roundhouse. Everything was clean, nicely laid out and those views over Dartmoor are wonderful. For us it's the perfect holiday accommodation: great location, good local amenities, comfortable and clean. We would love to return again. Thank you.

This property is an upstairs flat it is tastefully designed and carefully decorated. Very comfortable and the owner is friendly and thoughtful. It is not suitable if you are slightly infirm or cant manage stairs. But for a single or couple it is well equipped and if you need anything the owner tries hard to meet most needs. Situated near the CornisRead moreh border there is a wide variety of places to visit in easy driving distance. Hide
