This sensitively restored farm cottage in the hamlet of East Ash, is a mile from Whiddon Down and also a mile from the picturesque village of Throwleigh within Dartmoor National Park in Devon. Perfect for a group of friends or adventurers, the characterful, homely and stylish interior warmly welcomes you. The open-plan living area with wooden beams and a large inglenook fireplace with original bread oven is a reminder of the centuries over which this has been a dwelling. The fireplace now houses a large woodburner to warm those cooler evenings. Everyone can gather together for a cosy end to the day and make the most of the beautiful duck egg coloured kitchen, centred by a table and chairs. Upstairs, discover three bedrooms; the master suite is spacious and charming, with its own shower cubicle, and there is another double bedroom; fabulous views from both these rooms look out across the calming and beautiful countryside.

    Superb, quiet location with very little through traffic where the only sound was from birdsong and sheep - lovely to watch the birds on the bird feeder from the conservatory. Very little light pollution so the stars were amazing. The house itself was very clean, spacious and extremely cosy with the log burner in the lounge - and the welcome cake and flowers were a real treat! This was a wonderful place to stay, very relaxing and we were extremely lucky with some glorious weather in which to enjoy all that the moors had to offer. We will definitely return

    It has a beautiful walk to the lake and it's very peaceful. They welcome dogs but with restrictions, which is not made clear when booking. My dogs always sleep with us and they got very stressed and didn't settle because of this. I understand the reasons for this, and not being allowed on the furniture but it does impact on the restfulness of the holiday. I would highly recommend the cottage unless you have spoilt dogs.
