About this property
Aunty June's cottage is a charming converted cottage located within the Dartmoor National Park on a family farm which has been in the family for generations. This pet-friendly holiday retreat, ideal for a group of friends or a small family, boasts an enclosed garden and far reaching views. From your allocated parking enter the cottage, passing the handy boot-room, ideal for pet owners, and enjoy the view of the Moors from the kitchen window. The chefs in your party will enjoy the well-equipped kitchen with its fridge/freezer, double oven, and induction hob. Gather for a meal in the dining room next to the large ornamental fireplace before relaxing in the living room with its Smart TV and a wood-burner-effect electric fire.
If the skies are clear, head out to the enclosed garden to try and catch a glimpse of the stars over Dartmoor. Guests are welcome to walk in the wider gardens, but please note there are ponds in the grounds, so those with young children should take care. At the end of the day, choose from one of the two well-appointed bedrooms, choose from a twin served by a ground-floor bathroom and shower room, or the king-size bedroom complete with its own en-suite shower. The owner runs Dartmoor Tours from his trusted Landrover. If you would like to explore the National Park with a local expert, do reach out at the time of booking.
With pubs and dramatic Torrs nearby, you should have a delightful day. If you wish to head further afield, then the beaches of Dawlish and Teignmouth can provide some traditional seaside fun and are within easy reach due to the well-connected position of the cottage near the A30. Enjoy a classic Devon break at Aunty Junes Cottage.
Whiddon Down has a fine pub, it's just minutes away from Okehampton which is one of the main gateways to Dartmoor, and in the other direction rests Chagford. A picturesque town at the northern point of Dartmoor National Park in Devon, Chagford is small in size but is packed with amenities and things to do. There is a wide range of shops and cafes as well as four pubs. Chagford also has more active facilities such as a public tennis court and a seasonal, open-air swimming pool to enjoy at your leisure. Its wonderful setting, beautiful 15th and 16th century buildings, stylish independent shops, arts and crafts, world-class festivals and restaurants make it an absolute must-see for any visitor to Dartmoor.
