About this property

Idyllic Cottage in the heart of Dartmoor!

Southmead Cottage is a recently totally renovated property in the stunning hamlet of Lettaford. This medieval hamlet is made up of just 5 properties which sits in the heart of Dartmoor. Southmead Cottage adjoins Southmead Farmhouse.
The Property has 3 bedrooms and has been refurbished to a very high standard throughout.
The cottage sits on a bridle path which takes you directly onto the High Moor so is perfect for those who enjoy donning their walking boots and forgetting their car for their stay. It sits directly on the Mariner’s Way, a beautiful walk that takes one from North to South Devon coasts.
For provisions, restaurants and excellent shopping, it sits between the 2 lovely towns of Chagford and Moretonhampstead .
Children can be delighted with The Miniature Pony Centre just a mile away and for a little spa or restaurant luxury, Bovey Castle is 1 1/2 miles away.
The cottage itself has 3 bedrooms , 2x doubles( well super king and king!) and a smaller room which has 2x bunk beds (adult size). There is a full bathroom downstairs and an ensuite for the upstairs.
There is WiFi throughout the cottage (bearing in mind it is rural Dartmoor so the speed is sometimes interrupted) and there is a television in the kitchen, upstairs and downstairs larger bedrooms.
We have 2x cotbeds and a high chair for those visiting with small children.
There is a washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, fridge and separate freezer and a well equipped kitchen.
The cottage has a small courtyard garden which can be accessed through a door in the downstairs bedroom as well as the kitchen.
We will consider well behaved dogs as long as they stay downstairs and not on the furniture!
We have a FRIDAY changeover.
We have always said we would want to make a holiday cottage one that we would want to visit and this is certainly it!
We look forward to welcoming you.
