The new kitchen is such an amazing addition to the cottage. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable holiday and is perfectly situated right on the moor , with a lovely easy walk into Widecombe. Highly recommend this cottage. Will definitely be back soon .
Quiet, private, and pleasant home with a back garden with lovely views, right in the middle of the heart of Dartmoor, with close access to the lovely village of Widecombe.
Enjoyed the cottage so much that did not venture much further than walking to Widecombe via Wind Tor. Excellent food at Cafe on Green and at Rugglestone Inn on way back.
Lovely holiday cottage, had everything we needed. Check in was easy and communication with Peter was great. Very nice, pretty garden.
The main thing about this place is the location, it is perfect and the views are amazing!
If you like being on Dartmoor, this property is very well situated. It is surrounded by fields with cattle and sheep. Itâs a quiet location with a great view from the back garden.
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.
Stayed with family in this lovely place and greatly enjoyed. The views a great. Plenty of local walks to tors and remaining of bronze age settlements. Very quiet and relaxing place. Nicely presented extension to enjoy morning/evening views of the country side, birds and bouncing little sheep.
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.
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!
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.
Das HĂ€uschen liegt landschaftlich wunderschön. Die Ausstattung ist prima und die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber angenehm und unkompliziert.Hinter dem Haus bwginnt ein schöner Wanderweg nach Widecomb in the Moor. Weitere sehr schöne AusflĂŒge sind mit dem Auto von hier aus gut erreichbar.
Dit huisje doet je terug denken aan het huis van oma. Gelukkig zijn de belangrijkste zaken zeker helemaal van deze tijd. Prachtig gelegen met fantastisch uitzicht en zeer aangename tuin. Heel fijn verblijf gehad.
The weather was fantastically awful for the week we visited, however, this didn't matter at all as the cottage was so cosy and had such wonderful views, we just relaxed and enjoyed the storms from the big living room window and conservatory! Wonderful stay as always !
A lovely home-from-home with everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. Well equipped and spacious and the views from the windows and garden are stunning. Easy to find and within walking distance of Widecombe which has two pubs, a general store, gift shop and a lovely cafe - we loved our stay here!
Our family has resided in the area since 17th century and Windtor cottage has been in the family for 4 generations. We love its location and the tranquility of the area, with such easy access to miles of open countryside.
The area is ideal for people who are active and enjoy hiking, geocaching, cycling and horse riding. Access to the national park is from the back door and there are loads of walks from there which are available in the welcome pack. You won't need your car all week as food is delivered to the door by most supermarkets. We are an active family and love the outdoors but there is loads of other stuff to do locally - check out the âthings to doâ section of the welcome pack. Exeter and Plymouth are about 40 minutes away and you can get to the south coast beaches in about the same time.
Views from the sun room and sundeck are amazing and it is the perfect place to relax, away from the stresses of work and daily life. The views from the cottage of the Widecombe valley are hard to beat and are best taken in while sipping your breakfast tea or sundowner cocktail on the sun deck. It boasts 1 double and 1 twin room and a small downstairs single room. The new kitchen is equipped with an induction hob, double oven, microwave and fridge freezer. It has all you will need in the way of utensils and the dining sunroom is accessible directly from the kitchen.
Wifi is available for free and to use the Ohme Pro EV charger, please contact me directly. This is available for as little as 10p per unit.
You can walk from the door straight up onto the moor and from there you have access to miles of open countryside. You can even follow the Two Moors Way to Exmoor, 90 miles away! Walking and cycling guides available are available in the cottage.
You will be surrounded by the sites and sounds of the countryside during your stay and don't be surprised to see Dartmoor ponies at the gate. Bird seed is provided and you are welcome to top up the feeders.
