About this property

Cosy holiday cottage in the National Park with stunning views and new kitchen.

The cottage makes an ideal location for active guests who like hiking, cycling, geocaching and horse riding & there is never a dull day in Dartmoor National Park! The moor is on the doorstep (literally) and for most people this is the main attraction. The beaches are not far away and the Two Moors Way runs across the top of Wind Tor and this takes you right through to Exmoor. The two pubs (The Rugglestone and The Old Inn) in Widecombe do a thriving trade and are both well worth visiting. The Cafe on The Green in the village has a countywide reputation for great food, atmosphere and service. We have just installed a new kitchen which includes a Bosch induction hob, double oven and microwave. The dining area has beautiful views over the garden and open fields. The lockable garage is available for the storage of bikes and other activity equipment. We offer very economical EV charging at the property.

The accommodation consists of 1 twin bedroom, 1 double bedroom and a small box room suitable for a young child. There is a new fully equipped kitchen and diner, modern bathroom and living room. Off road parking for 2 cars, and 20 metres away further parking. The EV charger is attached to the house. The cottage and garden have stunning views across the Widecombe valley; there are guides to walks and rides from the doorstep, most of which take in a local pub. Birds, butterflies and bees can all be seen in the garden.

The garden is one of the main features of the cottage and it has benefited from a lot of investment over the years. In order for it to be maintained to a high standard, the gardener does need to attend regularly and because of the vagaries of the weather and the tight schedule he has to adhere to, we cannot always predict when he will arrive so we apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. Hot pasties are for sale daily at the kiosk on the village green.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Peter Graves

Host profile image
Our family has resided in the area since 17th century and Windtor cottage has been in the family for 4 generations. We love its location and the tranquility of the area, with such easy access to miles of open countryside.

Why they chose this property

The area is ideal for people who are active and enjoy hiking, geocaching, cycling and horse riding. Access to the national park is from the back door and there are loads of walks from there which are available in the welcome pack. You won't need your car all week as food is delivered to the door by most supermarkets. We are an active family and love the outdoors but there is loads of other stuff to do locally - check out the ‘things to do’ section of the welcome pack. Exeter and Plymouth are about 40 minutes away and you can get to the south coast beaches in about the same time.

What makes this property unique

Views from the sun room and sundeck are amazing and it is the perfect place to relax, away from the stresses of work and daily life. The views from the cottage of the Widecombe valley are hard to beat and are best taken in while sipping your breakfast tea or sundowner cocktail on the sun deck. It boasts 1 double and 1 twin room and a small downstairs single room. The new kitchen is equipped with an induction hob, double oven, microwave and fridge freezer. It has all you will need in the way of utensils and the dining sunroom is accessible directly from the kitchen.

Wifi is available for free and to use the Ohme Pro EV charger, please contact me directly. This is available for as little as 10p per unit.

You can walk from the door straight up onto the moor and from there you have access to miles of open countryside. You can even follow the Two Moors Way to Exmoor, 90 miles away! Walking and cycling guides available are available in the cottage.

You will be surrounded by the sites and sounds of the countryside during your stay and don't be surprised to see Dartmoor ponies at the gate. Bird seed is provided and you are welcome to top up the feeders.
