Dartmoor National Park, located in Devon, South West England, offers a remarkable retreat that accommodates up to 12 guests. This stunning property is surrounded by natural beauty, including the enchanting Whitelady Waterfall, which stands at a majestic 30 meters high. Visitors can embark on scenic walks through the gorge leading to Lydford village, known for its traditional Devon inn. The park, often referred to as 'England's last wilderness,' is rich in myths and legends, providing ample opportunities for exploration on foot, by bike, or horseback. Nearby attractions such as Roadford Lake, the largest lake in the South West, offer water sports and fishing, enhancing the outdoor experience.
The property itself is designed for comfort and relaxation, featuring a spacious entrance hall with a beautiful flagstone floor that leads into the main living areas. The lounge, with its inviting sofas and original inglenook fireplace, overlooks the garden and serves as a cozy retreat after a day of adventure. A second lounge with a wood burner and TV/DVD provides a more casual setting, while the elegant dining room, also with a flagstone floor, is perfect for gathering for meals. The well-equipped kitchen is a culinary delight, boasting modern appliances including an AGA, double electric oven, and a breakfast bar, making it ideal for both cooking and casual dining.
Accommodations are thoughtfully arranged across two levels, with a total of six bedrooms designed in a contemporary style that harmonizes with the property’s character. The ground floor features a twin room with an en suite shower, while the first floor offers two king-size bedrooms, each with a TV and en suite shower room, along with three twin bedrooms—two of which come with TVs and one that includes an extra day bed for additional guests. A family bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the sleeping arrangements, ensuring comfort for everyone.
The outdoor space is equally impressive, featuring a large garden with a croquet area, a gravel patio for alfresco dining, and a fire pit with a BBQ grill for evening gatherings. Guests can unwind in the hot tub after exploring the moors, while the barn offers entertainment options like table tennis and pool.
