“Lovely remote location amongst the hills and narrow lanes.”

Outside balcony with great views. Very clean and has a nice wood burner. The chilled wine on arrival was appreciated.

“This was the second stay at The Coach and it was as good as expected.”

The weather was also as expected in August : wet! Jonathan and Michael are wonderful hosts and there was a very welcome bottle of wine in the fridge. The bed was even more comfortable than before and the views (when it's not low cloud!) are stunning. This area is a little piece of heaven and The Coach House is perfectly placed to enjoy it to the full. Thank you!

“The Coach House is perfect for us and for us it "met expectations" because we had stayed before and it was exactly the same as previously - so equally perfect.”

The only significant difference is that ownership has changed, but as our new hosts were as charming and helpful as the host on the previous occasion there were no disappointments, quite the contrary. A lovely place to stay in a lovely location.

“Wonderful cottage.”

Just find the Sykes system very formal and a bit unfriendly. Also too many sales emails sent.

The property

A uniquely positioned, detached coach house resting in the foothills of Dartmoor within the peaceful village of Gidleigh, close to Michelin-starred Gidleigh Park, only two miles from Chagford.

The perfect romantic holiday for two, The Coach House invites the dramatic moorland to its doorstep, beckoning from the raised deck that overlooks the valley and up towards the hills.

Upon entering, be welcomed by the sitting room with its comfy three seater sofa, and magnificent stone fireplace which houses a cosy woodburning stove.

Beyond this, the double bedroom awaits, a classic arrangement with bedside tables, a wardrobe, and a freestanding mirror; amidst a spattering of original retro influences.

There is even a charming second room with a sofa bed should an extra guest wish to come along.

A fresh white bathroom lies nearby, along with an immaculate kitchen, wrapped in warm coloured tiles.

Lastly, a utility area houses all those extras you may need to feel right at home.

With no traffic or light pollution this destination is perfect for nature lovers, with buzzards, owls and butterflies.

It is a walkers paradise and a break to truly get away from it all, recharge and unwind.

Nearby, Chagford is well known for its culture, film, literary and music festivals in the village as well as an annual running race.

Beautiful 15th and 16th century buildings, stylish independent shops, arts and crafts, make it an absolute must-see for any visitor to Dartmoor.

Fine dining, unique pubs and places to stay plus literary links, only add to the precious experience.

The town is full of history and stories.

Just over 15 miles away is the bustling city of Exeter.

A peaceful place to stay.
