“It would be nice to know when the bins are collected as we couldn't empty our rubbish due to the outside bin been full up.”

When other cars were parked, it was extremely difficult to turn the car onto the grass .

Thank you for your feedback. Information regarding recycling and refuse (landfill waste) and parking is displayed prominently on the board in the kitchen and also in the cottage information folder at Moorhaven. There is enough space for 2 full bin liners of refuse, if both the kitchen bin and outside bin are used. Further bin liners of refuse can, if necessary, be left out behind the outside bin. There is enough parking space in front of Moorhaven for up to 2 standard-sized cars, with additional/alternative parking close by in the lane next to the old, red telephone box. Owner relations

“Lovely comfortable cottage right next door to the cosiest pub ever!”
Mr Sterlini September 2019

“Very remote - and therefore quiet - location, but it's handily right next to a country pub that does home cooking on certain nights of the week.”

The parking is a little tight and somewhat tricky, but we were encouraged to use the pub parking (which charmingly also has a kiosk for jam/cakes/produce housed in a traditional red telephone box!)

“This was a fantastic two weeks.”

The cottage was superb. My dog really loved the tiled floors, as she hates carpet, the tiles were fabulous as they kept her cool! We loved the enclosed garden as the dog could not escape, as she is blind, this was obviously important. The bedrooms were so comfortable and the bathrooms are perfect. The pub across the lane was very welcoming with some excellent wine and beer! Dogs are allowed in the pub. There are so many places to see all within a short driving distance. We actually felt a little sad to leave the cottage as we had had such a wonderful time. I would recommend this cottage, it is so beautiful and comfortable, well situated to visit places of historical interest, also at the end of the day, just roll into a warm inviting olde pub for a few drinks! I cannot think of a more ideal place to be! Loved every minute and would go back in a heartbeat! Many thanks!

“We just want to say how much we enjoyed our stay.”

It was perfect for our needs (two retired parents and two adult sons) and the location was ideal for picking up/dropping off No.2 son from Exeter Uni. The house is very well appointed and equipped and we would certainly recommend both the house and its location to anyone looking for a quiet and restful, or indeed an active, holiday on north Dartmoor. We also want to thank the owners for their help/advice and tolerance as we struggled at first to manage the heating system. The house was soon lovely and warm & we really enjoyed lighting the wood burner each evening when we got in from our day’s activities – made us feel properly “autumnal”! Highly recommended.

The property

In the tiny edge-of-the-moor hamlet of Wonson, alongside a small, friendly pub and a lane-mile from Throwleigh, three cottages carefully and lovingly renovated from a long barn; we let two comfortable, welcoming cottages.

Steep drive leads to the parking area at the front, with views over the little pub garden to fields and moor beyond.

Behind, each cottage has its own enclosed, private garden.

A great base for exploring beautiful, dramatic moorland just a few minutes walk from the door. Moorhaven is end-of-row with, behind, private garden with huge granite table/bench and good planting.

Inside all hand-built, carefully designed, bright and fresh.

Glazed door into spacious kitchen/dining room (dishwasher, microwave, freezer, larder fridge, electric cooker); small utility room (loo, washer-drier) with space for drying boots/coats.

Four steps down to bright living room with woodburner and smart TV/DVD.

Stairs (stairgates) up to three bedrooms - a double (5' bed) and a twin, both with en suite shower-room (suite), and, down 4 steps, a good-sized double (6' bed) with en suite bathroom (suite, shower over bath).

Dogs permitted in kitchen/dining area only.

Throwleigh: little village (pretty church) in lanes below Dartmoor's edge, on the lovely Mariners Way walk.

½ mile to pub, and to open moor; 2 to service station (shop); 5 to Chagford and Okehampton (golf, tennis, indoor pool, leisure centre, cinema).

Exeter, 18.

Fishing and riding not far.

There is a wide range of shops as well as four pubs. Chagford also has more active facilities such as public tennis court and an open-air swimming pool to enjoy at your leisure. It is a village of great history, home to the Three Crowns Hotel which dates back to the 1200's. Chagford is well known for its culture, hosting film, literary and music festivals in the village as well as an annual running race. Just over 15 miles away is the bustling, beautiful city of Exeter for a different kind of break, definitely worth a visit. The charming, attractive town of Okehampton sits just 12 miles away.
