Discover the hidden wonders of West Devon, famous for spectacular views, a rich history and the ancient landscape of Dartmoor National Park. Exclusively for adults, this charming property offers a rural retreat for couples seeking homely comforts in tranquil surroundings 3.5 miles away from the market town of Tavistock. By day, navigate majestic Dartmoor, stroll through nearby villages or absorb the local history. Return to the cottage to share a bottle of wine, taking in the countryside views in the fading light.
Compact and cosy, this property adjoins the main farmhouse of a family run working farm, covering 160 acres of land. Light-filled and decorated in neutral tones, the well-equipped kitchen leads through to a comfortable lounge with an electric fire, perfect for warming your toes on a chilly evening. Dine a deux in the dining area towards the back of the cottage, or head outside through the patio doors to eat alfresco in your own private area of the farmhouse garden. After a busy day, refresh yourself with an invigorating shower in the contemporary shower room, before sinking into the double bed for a restful night’s sleep.
With the heart of Dartmoor just 5 miles away, this secluded part of the world is a haven for keen walkers. Follow trails through wooded valleys, across crystal clear streams or past ancient relics such as those found in Merrivale, a prehistoric site 10.5 miles away. Take a scenic drive to one of the villages studded throughout Dartmoor, such as Horrabridge (6.5 miles away), known for its winding river and salmon fishing, or Buckland Monachorum (9 miles away), once the home of Sir Francis Drake.
