Torfield

In the protected countryside of Dartmoor National Park, this cosy cottage sits within 32 acres of farm and woodland. Part of a deluxe farmyard complex of holiday cottages, you’ve got amenities galore on offer in the grounds; a stone circle with fire pit, a heated indoor swimming pool, a games room packed with things for the kids to do, a golf practice area and walks through the woodland trails. If you’re not exploring the hiking trails across the heaths and past tumbling waterfalls, make the thirty-minute drive to the charming market town of Newton Abbot.

At the cottage itself, you’ve got a private patio with a picnic table and built-in stone barbecue for lunch outdoors on sunny days. The living room is natural shades of stone and sand, with a wood-burning stove in the corner should the temperature dip in the evening. The kitchen is a delightful place to cook, with exposed stone walls adding a bit of cottagecore charm. What’s more, your host provides some Devonshire delights in the welcome pack, like locally brewed cider, apple juice and the bits you need for a Devon cream tea.
