This delightful, secluded retreat is within a 10-minute drive from the edge of Dartmoor National Park famed for its spectacular walks and scenery, creating the perfect bolthole for couples or small groups looking to enjoy a walking holiday. Close by is the National Trust Castle Drogo (6 miles), the historic landmark Scorhill Stone Circle (2.4 miles), or enjoy the calming ambience of Wistman's Wood for an impressive walk amongst ancient moss-covered trees and granite boulders (14 miles). Haldon Forest and Tamar Valley are approx. 25 miles away, and with the cottage's central location in Devon, the coastlines can be reached within 30 miles. For local amenities, the town of Okehampton is 7 miles away and has shops, pubs, supermarkets, restaurants, as well as a direct train link that runs to and from Exeter, enabling car free visits to the vibrant, historical city. With many walks available from the doorstep and close to the picturesque town of Chagford with great facilities such as cafes, restaurants, a public tennis court and an open-air swimming pool to enjoy at your leisure, this property offers a great touring base.

Up three steps from the lounge leads you to the second king-size bedroom; a beautiful hideaway with the luxury of its own wood burner with seating area and exposed beams.

The cottage was clean and tidy. The beds were very comfortable. We went in September and it was a bit chilly in the mornings, but I could not see where to advance the central heating. I shouldve spoken to the host, but I did not find out how to do it but we still had a very pleasant stay.
