The property

Aunty June’s Cottage is a delightful converted property nestled within Dartmoor National Park, set on a family-run farm that has been passed down through generations.

This welcoming, pet-friendly retreat is perfect for a small family or a group of friends, offering an enclosed garden and far reaching views.

From the designated parking space, step into the cottage via a practical boot room—particularly useful for those with dogs—and enjoy the view of the moorland from the kitchen window.

The well-equipped kitchen features a fridge-freezer, double oven, and induction hob, ideal for those who enjoy cooking.

Meals can be shared in the dining room beside a striking ornamental fireplace, followed by a relaxing evening in the sitting room, complete with a smart TV and a wood-burner-effect electric fire.

On clear nights, the enclosed garden offers a chance to stargaze under Dartmoor’s expansive skies.

Guests are also welcome to explore the wider grounds, though please be aware of the ponds—families with young children should take extra care.

At the end of the day, choose between two thoughtfully furnished bedrooms: a twin room served by a ground-floor bathroom and separate shower room, or a king-size room with its own en-suite shower.

The owner also offers guided Dartmoor tours in a trusted Land Rover—ideal for those wishing to explore the area with a knowledgeable local.

If interested, do enquire at the time of booking.

With characterful pubs and dramatic tors nearby, you’re sure to enjoy a memorable day out.

For those looking to venture further, the traditional seaside towns of Dawlish and Teignmouth are within easy reach, thanks to the cottage’s convenient location near the A30.

Aunty June’s Cottage offers a classic Devon escape in a truly special setting.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £175.
