Deep within Dartmoor National Park is a quirky single-level former meeting hall, that was once the local HQ for the Women’s Institute (WI). This property is layered in 20th century-style elegance, surrounded by rocky terrain and preserved woodland. In the cosy hamlet of Haytor Vale, just 10 miles away from Newton Abbot, you could enjoy exploring both historic market towns and whimsical waterfalls within the diverse habitats of Devon.
The exterior of this welcoming holiday home belies the true size of its interior. Its picture-perfect appearance evokes thoughts of a quaint village life, yet the inside is reminiscent of a dolls house. In fact, there is a dolls house in the open-plan living area where you can relax and dine after a long day walking the trails and lanes of Dartmoor. The galley-style kitchen can be put to work when you conjure up some tasty meals concocted from Devonshire produce before unfurling in front of the TV and wood burner-effect electric fire. Retire to cosy beds after planning more adventures in the vast open moors.
Don’t miss the chance to hike through one of the best national parks in the UK. This property is only 3 miles from Becky Falls which is at the heart of Dartmoor - a photographer’s dream. For an equally special experience, the Bronze-Age Merrivale Monuments are a must-see on a foggy morning, 16 miles from the property. This area is steeped in historic wonder and spectacular nature, so take advantage of both without ever having to leave the boundaries of the park.
