    “Our weeklong stay at Hole Farm was truly a wonderful, magical experience.”

    Everyone in our group loved the age and quirkiness of the house while appreciating the modern conveniences as well. My friends, family and I have been to Hole Farm many times over the years and have always enjoyed our time there.

Medieval threshing barn (45' x 15', unheated) in courtyard available for parties/activities, by arrangement (extra; large gazebo also available).

Inside, full of character.

Porch; thick oak door to central passage, off which utility room (washing machine, two tumble driers, fridge-freezer) with loo; bathroom (bath plus hand-shower, washbasin).

Living room with huge inglenook open fire, oak floors, beams, window seat, terrific ancient screen panelling, TV/DVD; study with jigsaw puzzle table and a finely tuned piano; 4 uneven steps up to large kitchen/dining room with brick floor, modern electric Aga (low heat May to October), dishwasher, microwave, fridge/freezer, refectory table seating 10, window seat, stone mullion window.

Two sets of steep, uneven stairs from the living room up to four wood-floored (rugs), white-walled bedrooms (all beds with footboards).

First set of stairs (bottom door) up to small corridor, 3 steep steps and 4'10" lintel into the master double (6' carved oak bed, limited clothes-hanging space) with 3 steps down to en-suite bathroom (suite, shower over bath, bidet, separate loo), and a twin which leads through to another twin; family bathroom (shower over bath).

The rear garden where the property is tucked into the hillside can be steep and has drops, so keep an eye on the children.There is a massive lawn for croquet and ball games.

A truly marvellous place. 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.

A picturesque town at the northern point of Dartmoor National Park in Devon. Chagford, one of the five Stannary towns of Dartmoor, is small in size but is packed with amenities and things to do. 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 town 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 town as well as an annual running race, known as Two Hills Race. Just over 21 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.
