2 bedroom accommodation in Ilsington, near Newton Abbot
This beautiful cottage enjoys a rural setting on the owner’s working farm, where you can cycle, walk or ride for miles, admiring the unspoilt scenery.. Ground Floor:
Bathroom: Bath, Walk-In Shower, Heated Towel Rail, Toilet. Oil central heating (underfloor in bathroom), electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Travel cot, highchair and stairgate. Patio with garden furniture. 1 small dog welcome. Stabling and grazing for horses available (at cost). Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking. Please note: The property has a natural water supply from a spring.. Situated in the heart of Dartmoor National Park on the owner’s beef farm, this semi-detached cottage has been decorated and furnished to a good standard in 2019 and still retains some of its original features. There is a private walkway up to Bagtor which has the most stunning view across rolling Devon Hills over Dartmoor, and you can see for miles. Stabling is available for horses at an extra cost, and straw and hay are available. This is a perfect opportunity to be able to ride on Dartmoor on private land, on a no-vehicle track, where you might encounter some of the Dartmoor ponies that wander freely all over the moor. Off road cycling is perfect here, and the walks, which start right from the front door are just amazing.
The farm has a lot of character, and you can often see the cows out in the fields; on some occasions there will be calves frolicking about too! This is a quiet part of Devon, and you will be able to discover Dartmoor and all it has to offer. There are many visitor attractions not far from the property. Exeter, with its Crealy Theme Park & Resort, is ideal for a family day out and is only 30 minutes away by car. Visit Plymouth and take a trip to the Aquarium, only 40 minutes away by car.

Lovely cosy cottage
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It’s spacious, comfortable and was very warm and cosy even in cold winter weather.
The location is peaceful - no disturbance from the farm - and the owners Carol and Russell are helpful and friendly. It’s a brilliant base for exploring this part of Devon, right on the edge of Dartmoor and also not far from the coast.
We did some great (hilly) bike rides and enjoyed walking along the lanes to the Carpenters Arms in Ilsington (great food and beer).
Hope to be back next year!
