About this property

Authentic timber lodge located in Devon's heart at the edge of glorious Dartmoor

BUTTERCUPS - a unique opportunity to stay in one of three really cosy log cabins at Highampton which lies between Hatherleigh and Holsworthy. Our lodges are constructed from 8" pine logs and are exceptionally warm and welcoming. We offer clean, comfortable accommodation that has views which are absolutely fantastic - right across miles of beautiful Devon countryside to Dartmoor in the distance. South facing with undercover patio. Parking on your own driveway alongside your lodge and garden area for your picnics or for the children to play in. Our lodges are fully furnished for up to four people, and are centrally placed for both the north and south coasts of Devon, and for the North Cornwall Coast - Widemouth Bay and Bude being particular favourites.
Holiday for 7/14 nights or take a short break - our lodges take 4 people comfortably in a main bedroom with a double bed and two twins in the second bedroom.

The lodges and site do not really suit very young children so no-one under the age of 4 please unless it's been discussed and agreed.

The kitchen has an under-counter fridge and freezer, electric oven with ceramic hob and a microwave and in the lounge there's a large smart TV and recently upgraded superfast Wi-Fi throughout. The recently upgraded shower room has an electric shower and the water is mains, so no problem with pressure! There are heaters in all rooms and a log/coal burner in the living area. The veranda provides useful additional space and, if you have a dog, you can close the gate and enjoy outdoor dining in the knowledge that your dog is secure.
'Superfast' Wi-Fi, toy box with games for young children and a table-tennis table, badminton set and swing-ball with equipment. The village of Hatherleigh is about 4 miles away with a good selection of cafes and shops. There's also a couple of pubs, supermarket + skatepark.
The lodges face south towards Dartmoor - with absolutely fantastic views. See our website for more photographs and details.

Highampton is a small village with a pub which is situated in Ruby country with it’s fantastic selection of trails for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. The village of Hatherleigh is about 4 miles away and has a good selection of cafes and shops. There’s also pubs, supermarket and a new skatepark. The bustling town of Okehampton is a further 7 miles away. In the opposite direction about 7 miles away lies the pretty market town of Holsworthy with the beautiful beaches of Bude and Widemouth Bay a further 9 miles away.

We are centrally placed for all parts of Devon and Cornwall. The area is one of peace and tranquility, so if it's a quiet base you want for your holiday, then Dartmoor View Lodges is the place to be.

Highampton is a small village with a pub, school, village hall and visiting post office.

Hatherleigh and Holsworthy are larger and have all the amenities you need. Our site is quiet and tranquil and wildlife is plentiful. In the early morning it is quite possible that you will see deer grazing and there are usually a lot of rabbits around and foxes pay the occasional visit. Birds thrive and we regularly see woodpeckers, tree creepers and buzzards, at dusk the bats come out to feed. Butterflies are also attracted by the many wild flowers that emerge in the spring.

We're very lucky to enjoy really dark night skies, great for star-gazing, due to very little light pollution.

About the host

Hosted by Andrew & Sally Walker

Host profile image
Relocated in 2015 from Huddersfield in West Yorkshire where we ran a small business, we chose this fantastic location for the perfect home for us and our family plus it gives us the opportunity to provide fabulous self catering holidays.

Why they chose this property

We have 3 genuine timber lodges to choose from - Bluebells, Buttercups or Brambles. Providing luxury self-catering, the lodges are well equipped and have a 4 star rating by our partner agent which guarantees good quality fittings and bedding. The lodges are regularly updated and maintained and we have recently improved the site with extensive planting and fencing. There are plenty of varied walks a short drive away and we are lucky to have Garlands Trekking and Horse Riding Centre a couple of miles down the road. Opposite our site is the popular Arms of Old archery centre.

What makes this property unique

The location is the definition of peaceful and if like us you like wildlife, it really is perfect. We also get incredibly black nights as there is very little light pollution. It's also very well placed to explore Devon and Cornwall. Exeter is about 50 minutes away, Bude about 30 minutes. The site is surrounded by fields through which you can access a section of the Ruby Way which is popular with dog-walkers, cyclists and horse-riders.
The Warhouse Valley Country Farm Park is on our doorstep and places such as The Milky Way, the Big Sheep, Crealys and the Eden Project are all within a short drive.
The views from the lodges are spectacular and are dominated by the beauty of Dartmoor.
