A warm welcome of cake and tea will greet you at this lovely 17th Century Devon farmhouse set in the folds of Dartmoor in its own beautiful valley close to the Dartmoor village of Manaton. The cottage is a wing of the farmhouse, part of a 200 acre mixed working farm with plenty of animals, where the very comfortable and attractive rooms with stunning views across meadows bordered by a stream will indulge the most discerning of guests. Anglers are welcome to fish along the property's private reaches of the River Bovey; walkers will revel in this perfect walking country (there is a different walk from the house each day of the week); and people of all ages will love the horses and various animals and are welcome to explore the farm. Dartmoor is stunning, wild and beautiful from the high craggy Tors to deep wooded dells and rushing streams - all just waiting to be explored. This property is a treat for anyone at any time of the year.
