Cosy holiday cottage in the National Park with stunning views and new kitchen.

The cottage makes an ideal location for active guests who like hiking, cycling, geocaching and horse riding & there is never a dull day in Dartmoor National Park! The moor is on the doorstep (literally) and for most people this is the main attraction. The beaches are not far away and the Two Moors Way runs across the top of Wind Tor and this takes you right through to Exmoor. The two pubs (The Rugglestone and The Old Inn) in Widecombe do a thriving trade and are both well worth visiting. The Cafe on The Green in the village has a countywide reputation for great food, atmosphere and service. We have just installed a new kitchen which includes a Bosch induction hob, double oven and microwave. The dining area has beautiful views over the garden and open fields. The lockable garage is available for the storage of bikes and other activity equipment.

The accommodation consists of 1 twin bedroom, 1 double bedroom and a small box room suitable for a young child. There is a new fully equipped kitchen and diner, modern bathroom and living room. Off road parking for 2 cars, and 20 metres away further parking. The cottage and garden have stunning views across the Widecombe valley; there are guides to walks and rides from the doorstep, most of which take in a local pub. Birds, butterflies and bees can all be seen in the garden.

The garden is one of the main features of the cottage and it has benefited from a lot of investment over the years. In order for it to be maintained to a high standard, the gardener does need to attend regularly and because of the vagaries of the weather and the tight schedule he has to adhere to, we cannot always predict when he will arrive so we apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. Hot pasties are for sale daily at the kiosk on the village green.

Quiet spot away from the center of Widecombe
If you like being on Dartmoor, this property is very well situated. It is surrounded by fields with cattle and sheep. It’s a quiet location with a great view from the back garden.

Great place to stay!
We enjoyed a wonderful, quiet week in this beautiful cottage. It has a very nice garden full of birds, a spectacular view, and fabulous Dartmoor is all around it. It is close to Exeter. A stack of leaflets helped us to find nice things to see and do.

Comfy cottage with superb views and excellent base for walking
We found the cottage to be cosy and well equipped. It was good to have a secure garden for our dog. It's a perfect place to walk 'from the door', and the view from the lounge was stunning. We had an excellent meal at the Rugglestone Inn and would happily stay in the cottage again.

Beautiful location, clean and well equipped cottage.
Really enjoyed the stay at this lovely cottage. There are walks form the door into the National Park and the views from the sitting room are amazing. The bedrooms all have duvets and are cosy with views over the valley and garden. The cottage has everything you would expect including free wifi and digital TV. The garden is equipped with garden furniture and amazing views. Only downside was we had only one week there.

Great views and lovely location
A cold February half term visit to Widecombe made all the more enjoyable by this comfortable cottage which was warm and welcoming. The view is of the Widecombe valley are amazing and uninterrupted. You can walk from the front door onto the hills of the National Park behind or, if you prefer, down to one of the two pubs in the village both of which serve food. One word of warning; 3rd bedroom is very small and only has a bunk in it.

Peace and tranquility
We have had an excellent time at Windtor cottage; I have never been to a more peaceful place in my life. We watched birds from our garden sundeck - we enjoyed topping up the bird feeders regularly. Since we don't drive, we had Tesco deliver our food and booked some taxi rides with the excellent Station Taxis. We particularly enjoyed the walk up from the cottage to Hameldown and Grimspound. I would thoroughly recommend this cottage, it's spacious and well equipped, sadly without real fire, but with outstanding features like a window- nook and a wonderful garden with fantastic views. Will definitely be back one time!

Perfect as usual
The house is always a charming place to get away from it all. It's just far enough away from anything touristy to give peace and quiet, but not so far away that you have to drive for hours to do anything. There's plenty to do, both in Widecombe and around it, including plenty of walks, and a lovely farm shop about 5-10 minutes drive towards Newton Abbot. I can honestly say each time we go, it's a home away from home. You'd never know it was a holiday home, not too posh, it feels like a family home. Obviously it's very well taken care of, very clean, and there's always some every day essentials in the kitchen cupboards. The only problem we had was needing more time to do everything we wanted. We'll certainly be back again.
