This enchanting cottage in Newton Abbot, Devon, is nestled in the heart of Dartmoor National Park, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the forest. The traditional yet modern cottage features a cozy living and dining room with a log burner, a country kitchen, two double bedrooms, and a single bedroom. The master bedroom has an en-suite, and there is a contemporary family bathroom with a bath and shower. Outside, the garden is a magical space with multiple levels, small bridges, and seating areas to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Located in the peaceful village of Manaton, the cottage is surrounded by beautiful forest land and rolling hills. Local attractions include Becky Falls, "The Bowerman's Nose," and the bronze age settlement "Grimspound." Dartmoor National Park offers endless opportunities for hiking, cycling, and exploring historical landmarks like Tors and deserted medieval villages. Nearby towns like Bovey Tracey and Totnes provide amenities and attractions, while the South Hams region offers organic farms, markets, and seaside resorts for day trips.
Due to the remote location of Dartmoor National Park, it is recommended to have a vehicle for transportation. The cottage's garden features uneven surfaces and a shallow stream, so caution is advised, especially with young children. BBQs and open fires are not allowed due to the thatched roofs of the cottages and surrounding woodland. One well-behaved dog is welcome at an additional fee, with the condition of staying off soft furnishings and upstairs areas. Guests are asked to respect the tranquility of the location and keep noise to a minimum after 9 pm.
