Dartmoor National Park in Devon covers 350 square miles and is bordered by Torbay, Exeter and Plymouth. Newton Abbot, Bovey Tracey and Ashburton are also worthy of mention. Between here and Okehampton you will be hard pushed to find more than a handful of hamlets, but some stunning scenery. And as you pass the ruined mine head of Wheal Betsy, consider that this was once one of the most profitable, modern and philanthropic mines in the world, and all due to the presence of water power. Anyway, this is a good place to stop for walkers, riders, and cyclists, and has an excellent pub or two. On the northern edge of the National Park is Okehampton, a great centre for walkers and the start of the annual Ten Tors race. This is a two day 'yomp' across the moor for the young, the oldest participant allowed is only twenty, and takes place over three different courses, dependent on age. The longest route takes you over 55kms and you have to carry all your supplies and equipment, so there is no nipping into the Prison for a cosy night with the warders. The Army have a substantial training camp just outside the town on the moor and look after the 2400 teenagers who try this event every year. The town is basically grey, being made of the local granite, and has most of the local amenities you would expect in a small town anywhere else in England. There is a large ruined Norman Castle, a museum of Dartmoor Heritage, and a couple of shops that will kit out the novice or experienced walker. A range of Devon holiday cottages, pubs, restaurants, and cafes completes the picture. To the north the green and rolling hills and cottages in north Devon, to the south, the bleak and granite-strewn moor land. Now this is not to say that there is nothing to do on Dartmoor as you can try walking from one side to the other, or go by pony. Challenge the elements with your camping prowess, but be prepared the weather can change here just as quickly as it can in the Scottish Highlands. You can visit Neolithic cairns and stone circles, secluded country houses, castles and nature reserves; see hidden waterfalls, or even try and find the famous Prison. This is the only wilderness in England so if you bump into anyone else you will be unlucky. Haytor is a tract of moor and heathland. The distinctive granite tor is common land and has long been an attraction to visitors. Dartmoor National Park was immortalised recently in Warhorse, the Hollywood blockbuster filmed on location on Dartmoor. The Dartmoor Pony Heritage Trust's charitable mission is to preserve the indigenous famous Dartmoor Pony; unfortunately this tough breed is at serious risk, the herd is numbering less than 300 mares. Buckfast Abbey founded in the 11th century, in Buckfastleigh from where The South Devon Railway operates a heritage steam railway to Totnes running alongside the River Dart. Widecombe Fair, well known in the folk song of the same name featuring Uncle Tom Cobley (and all!) is famously held on the 2nd Tuesday in September, attracting thousands of visitors to the tiny Dartmoor village of Widecombe-in-the-Moor.

What our customers say about their holidays

  • Luanne - Verified booking

    The Hideawah is a lovely cosy cottage set in beautiful countryside.

    If you want a peaceful getaway Thr Hideaway is perfect. Loved the quirkiness - small cottage windows, beamed low ceilings and uneven floors. The garden was idyllic with views over the pond to the hills beyond. Even though the cottage is right next to a narrow lane, hardly any cars drove past. Beware of the steep stairs to the bedroom, low ceilings downstairs (it was perfect for me and my husband, I’m 5’2” and he is 5’5”). Beware, the cottage is also surrounded by very narrow lanes with blind bends. Saying that we never encountered a vehicle coming the other way as the cottage is quite remote. Otters Saint Mary was a 5 minute drive away, Sidmouth was 20 minutes away. Would highly recommend The Hideaway and would consider returning in the future.

  • Paul - Verified booking

    We loved the cottage and the location was perfect BUT the cottage suffers from a serious damp issue (highlighted by a previous review in June).

    The kitchen cupboards smelt damp and musty and we had to move all the plates and dishes and wash them before use and then leave them out which cluttered the small kitchen. Also we came down every morning to find snail/slug trails all over the floor and worktops so again a clean up was required before we could start our day. Another issue we had was whilst we were out on the Tuesday the owner took it upon herself to go into the property without informing us first to put the rubbish bins out for the following day, we were going to do this as per instructions. Apart from the above issues we would have been happy to book this cottage again in the future.

    A beautiful property in a fabulous location.

    So close to everything you need in Teignmouth and an excellent base from which to explore that part of Devon. The cottage itself is really lovely, so beautifully renovated and with everything needed to self cater. Could do with a second small sofa or more comfy armchairs in the living room but the beds were great. The addition of fresh bread, milk, biscuits and doughnuts and already having tea bags at the house was a lovely and really welcoming addition. As was the dog bed, a lovely touch. A fantastic stay. Would definitely recommend.

  • Donald - Verified booking

    We were delighted with this cottage.

    It had thick cob walls and thatched roof. There was a large wood burner for heating, but we did not need to light it, as the house was warm enough. The views were superb, there was a duck pond with waterlilies, a vineyard and we were allowed to walk are dog in the adjoining fields. The kitchen had everything you needed, except a microwave (we use ours a lot at home). The roads are very narrow with high hedge banks either side, but little traffic. This is Devon, so you have to get used to it. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
