About the host
Hosted by Peter Graves
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.
Why they chose this property
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 ‘things to do’ 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.
What makes this property unique
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.
