This property is accessed via a single-track road, which brings guests to the wonderfully rural property, where it is one-of-two on the owner’s farmland. Surrounded by the rugged beauty of Dartmoor National Park, guests can leave the property and immediately join the miles of scenic walks, cycle routes and bridleways. In complete contrast to Dartmoor, the elegant seaside resorts of the English Riviera, with its warm micro-climate, azure seas, and sandy beaches, is just twenty miles. Other attractions in the area include Paignton Zoo, the Living Coasts Aquarium in Torquay, and the ancient network of caves at Kents Cavern.

The front door of this property opens onto an unusual hallway with exposed stone floors, beamed ceiling, and whitewashed walls. From here, a door leads to the property’s cosy flag-stoned lounge, which has as its focal point, a stunning inglenook fireplace, which now houses the warming wood burner. Armchairs and a sofa give guests a comfortable place to unwind here, perhaps planning the next day’s sightseeing or may be watching a film on the Smart TV. The dining room, which features the same well-maintained flagstone floor, has a dining table seating six. The property’s kitchen, though modestly-sized is, nevertheless, well-equipped with an oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine, and tumble dryer. Stone stairs lead to the property’s three bedrooms on the first floor. The first of these is one of two twin rooms, whilst the other two rooms are both cosy and comfortable. The bathroom has a ¾ sized bath with handheld shower and WC. 

Outside, to the rear of the garden, is a private enclosed lawn with garden furniture.

Cottage was comfortable, plenty of space and garden good for dog. Kitchen was well equipped but will not to bring everything if you plan on cooking proper meals. No local shop to pop to. Location was great for exploring Dartmoor and we enjoyed our week away.

Lovely base to stay. Ideal location for walking. Garden was fantastic for the dog. Comfortable accommodation for the 3 of us, feel the bathroom and kitchen would be a bit small for 6, but at the price a bargain. Only thing I was glad to come home to was a decent shower! There is a bathtub with an old fashioned hand held mixer shower head that was hRead moreard to keep at right temperature/ use when not used too although loads of very hot water. Can walk/ cycle straight from property. Very quiet too. Hide

We can warmly recommend the Longhouse. As a group of 6 friends, we stayed for a week and our highlights were the very comfy beds, cleanliness, the garden, well-equipped kitchen, the abundance of hot water, and the quick and friendly responses from the lovely hosts both before we arrived and when we were there. Navigating the 1 bathroom between 6 waRead mores very doable with a little communication! The location is beautiful - a quiet lane with a stream running close by, with Dartmoor on your doorstep.

This place is beautiful. lower Cator is the perfect base to explore the moors. So much to see and do. The garden of the long house is large and secure. If you have dogs its the place to stay. The long house has so much character.

Lovely cottage in a lovely area of Dartmoor. Lovely area tucked up in the moors away from it all (especially fireworks) yet there Id good access to all surrounding areas, including the coast. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting the tranquility this area offers.

We loved this property for the two of us and our dogs, owners hugely helpful and friendly. Great location for hiking and seeing the best of Dartmoor , remote enough to truly get away from the worlds nonsense for a while. Lovely garden which is really safe. No phone signal at all but good WiFi in the cottage. One bathroom for six would be difficult Read moreand we found the water pressure upstairs to be quite low which was mildly frustrating however the cottage is warm and well equipped Hide
