Part of a medieval Devon hall house, this delightful holiday cottage is located on the northern edge of Dartmoor and only a fifteen minute walk up to the 1100ft high, 13th century Brentor Church which is one of Devon’s most famous landmarks.
Surrounded by beautiful countryside and located at the end of a private drive, this is the ideal location to escape the pressures of every day life and treat yourself to some relaxation time. In the summer months you can relax in the private garden amidst a riot of colour whilst watching the fabulous sunsets and enjoying the silence of the countryside with a glass of wine!. In winter, after a day exploring the many delights of Dartmoor you can put your feet up and unwind in front of the woodburning stove.
Five minutes by car takes you to the National Trust beauty spot of Lydford Gorge or in the opposite direction to the thriving market town of Tavistock which has a great selection of specialist local food shops and its bustling Pannier Market.
For those wanting to travel further a field the cottage is a good base for exploring all of the attractions of both Devon and Cornwall with their beautiful sandy beaches, quaint fishing villages and lovely rolling countryside.
This delightful retreat is perfect for couples and is ideally situated half way between the North and South Devon Coasts and just five miles from the border with Cornwall offering world renowned gardens such as the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan within one hour's drive.
For the more active guests, there are plenty of sporting activities to enjoy including off road cycle paths, golf, pony trekking, gliding and the hills and valleys of Dartmoor to explore on foot.
Three miles to the north lies the pretty village of Lydford, with its Norman castle keep, the Lydford Gorge (where you can explore the deepest parts of the gorge along parapet paths and suspended walkways) and the Saxon Castle Inn, which serves bar meals and offers restaurant dining.
Whether you are looking to simply relax or want to explore this beautiful area, Monkstone is an ideal destination.
