“Rockmead is a beautiful stone property in a stunning location.”

My family including dogs and a three year old had a great week despite indifferent weather.

My family including dogs and a three year old had a great week despite indifferent weather. The house was spotless and extremely well equipped. The area is beautiful and walks from the door were much appreciated. Guides on every aspect of the house and suggestions for things to do were provided and very helpful. Highly recommended.

“Rockmead was warm cosy and peaceful.”

It rained nearly every day of the 2 weeks we were there, so we spent alot of time at the cottage. The beds were comfortable and the bedding of a good standard..The cottage was very clean and well presented in terms of everything we needed. The sitting room has too much furniture with 3 very large sofas and a huge dining table.and many dining room chairs. The sofas look comfy but are extremely deep and seating is hard, so not comfortable sitting. The 2 upstairs bathrooms while serviceable, and lots of hot water, really need updating..We discovered a leak in the the small bathroom, with water running down the pipe behind the pedestal, this is a long standing leak as the pipe is discoloured. There was water on the floor when we arrived which we thought had just been mopped. We dried it, but when using the toilet at night my slippers were soaked by water on the floor from the pipe. Mortonhampstead has a good Coop and provides local groceries, or choice of 3 supermarkets at Oakhampton . Abundant wildlife in the garden.and the moor is a wonderful wildlife and animal resource. Overall we had a peaceful relaxed stay.

- Mrs Robinson, May 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback and we are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Rockmead. Thank you for mentioning the leak: it was not a long-standing issue and the Owners would have been pleased to assist straightaway had you mentioned this during your stay (instead this was attended to between bookings).

“An exceptional cottage.”

It was beautiful and so was the garden. Wonderful walks and very peaceful. The cottage had absolutely everything that we could have needed. The wildlife was amazing and we particularly enjoyed watching and listening to the owls.

“The owners had obviously gone to a lot of trouble.”

Rockmead was spotlessly clean with every home comfort that we could possibly have needed. Despite the cold, damp weather outside, the cottage was extremely warm and cosy. This was our third visit and hopefully we will return.

The property

3 miles from Chagford, on the edge of the tranquil moorland hamlet of Lettaford - a scattering of mostly medieval granite cottages at the end of a lane from which a footpath leads directly to the open moor (1/3 mile) and the Two Moors Way passes through - a large, detached, Grade II listed house, imaginatively converted from a barn.

It is set back and tucked away from the other houses, sheltered at the front by a stone wall with pergola and swing seats, with a good-sized lawned garden at the back (barbecue, table/chairs, swings/slide for small children). Inside, natural wood (beams, floors/rugs, doors) and exposed granite.

Tiled hall.

Living/dining room with large fireplace (woodburner), Smart TV/DVD, WIFI, and refectory table.

Three steps up to kitchen (dishwasher, microwave, larder fridge, electric hob/double oven) with small breakfast table/chairs, floor-to-ceiling windows and door to paved area.

Drying room for coats/boots.

Two downstairs bedrooms - one with two singles and glazed door to garden, and a double; downstairs bathroom (suite plus hand-shower and separate shower, handrails).

Wood stairs (stairgates) curve up to two more wood-floored, good-sized bedrooms - a double (5' bed) with TV/DVD and en suite shower-room (suite), and one with three singles (truckles) and en suite loo, both with Velux windows with countryside views.

Outside, laundry room (washing machine, tumble drier, freezer, additional fridge).Spring water.

Arrival after 4pm.

An extremely peaceful base for observing nature (moon and barn owl watching), moorland walks or just getting away from it all.

Chagford: lively, friendly little town (pubs, shops, outdoor swimming pool, tennis) away from main roads in the shelter of high Dartmoor.

Past it the River Teign (fishing) hurries through woods and meadows below Castle Drogo (National Trust).

Excellent walking; superb views.

Open moor, 2 miles; golf, 3; Exeter (city amenities), 17; sea/beaches, about 20.
