The small village of Manaton, nestled deep within Dartmoor National Park, is ideally located for exploring the vast and varied landscape of the moors - from the remote barren beauty of the higher moorland to the rivers rushing through deep wooded valleys and rolling countryside.

Dartmoor is a haven for walkers and cyclists due to the abundance of footpaths and cycle routes that snake the moors, offering endless opportunities to get outside and reconnect with nature. Picturesque villages and hamlets are scattered across the rural landscape, offering unusual shops, museums, old churches, cosy pubs, restaurants serving delicious local delicacies, art galleries and craft workshops. 

Manaton village itself boasts a church, pub, and also the local landmark, Manaton rocks,famed for its much-photographed formation 'The Bowerman's Nose'. Manaton lies just a stone's throw from the beautiful Becky Falls, which makes for an excellent family or dog-friendly day out. Other nearby attractions include the Miniature Pony Centre, the House of Marbles, and the Devon Guild of Craftsmen, a converted Riverside Mill where you can watch jewellery, sculpture, prints, glass and textiles being created, and enjoy the spacious gallery, shop and Terrace Café.

The stunning Teign valley and the coast at Teignmouth and Dawlish are also within easy reach of the village, and the Cathedral City of Exeter is just 40 minutes away by car.

Whether you are looking for a relaxing rural retreat, or an energising action-packed break, a holiday cottage in Manaton provides the perfect base for a Dartmoor holiday.

April 2024


Highly recommended, the animals and the walk around the falls very enjoyable

September 2023


Expensive to park the car £9 per passenger didn’t bother

June 2022


We had a great visit to Becky Falls and completed all of the walking trails. The visitors centre provided games, a petting zoo, a gift shop and refreshments and the staff were friendly and helpful

June 2022


A rip off. We have similar, but more scenic, attraction in Cornwall with free access.

May 2022


Not impressed. A rip-off we have one in Cornwall that is free and very picturesque.

September 2021


pleasant place to visit. We chose to do the shorter red route, which gave excellent views of the falls, but involved clambering over boulders, which was a little too adventurous for us. Generally the advice and signage for the walking routes could be improved
