Widecombe Cottage at Lower Venton is a luxury cottage perfect for couples who enjoy countryside activities or looking for a romantic break in the heart of Dartmoor. A detached barn conversion, the cottage has been professionally designed and lovingly handcrafted in oak finished to the highest standard, and stylishly furnished for your comfort.

The space
The first-floor double bedroom features a handmade oak king sized bed and a stylish en-suite bathroom with a traditionally styled shoeer-bath. The cosy living room has a log burner and underfloor heating - perfect for a quiet night in watching a movie or listening to music. The kitchen is handmade in solid oak and granite and fully equipped with a 4-ring gas hob, double oven, fridge, dishwasher, microwave and washer / dryer and other essentials. We even offer a wine rack stocked with locally produced wines, beers and soft drinks and an honesty box arrangement for payment.

The underfloor heating and hot water are powered by a combination of solar power and gas - ensuring your comfort year-round, whatever the weather.

The south facing sun terrace and garden with BBQ and dining area offer breathtakingly beautiful views over the surrounding pastureland and the open moor.

Guest access
The cottage is set in the grounds of Victorian farmstead in an ancient hamlet and accessed via a shared drive. During their stay, guests enjoy exclusive access to the cottage and the large private garden to the rear of the cottage.

Neighborhood highlights

Lower Venton is an especially peaceful place to stay, part of a small hamlet set just off a sleepy country lane. Dartmoor ponies may be seen trotting past the gate and yet you are within easy reach of many of South Devon's main attractions. There are moorland walks from the doorstep and riding stables just down the lane offer stunning treks across Dartmoor for riders of all abilities. A five-minute level stroll takes you to “The Rugglestone Inn”, our closest local pub serving real ale and a menu featuring locally sourced, home cooked produce. The village of Widecombe-In-the-Moor, well-known for its annual fair, is a further five-minute walk. There you can enjoy brunch or a cream tea at “The Cafe on the Green” or relax over a pint at “The Old Inn”. Lower Venton has everything you could hope for in a country break.

What makes my home unique: The peace and quiet!
Helen and I have lived and worked on Dartmoor for over 25 years. We raised our family here and were lucky enough to be able to enjoy this beautiful place with its rugged tors, woodland walks, amazing views over open moorland and it's rural communities. We look forward to welcoming you to Dartmoor!
