Utter peace in a simple, beautiful space with a sculpture garden to wander, an art studio to visit and walking and cycling on Dartmoor

Read guest comments

Your south-facing annexe is a homemade addition to Pat and Dave’s 1730s miller’s cottage and as cosy as can be for two. Walk straight into fields, woodland and Dartmoor National Park for hiking, exploring Tors and discovering 3,000-year-old bronze age hut circles; cycle route 27 passes close by for a challenge, off-road biking is equally exciting and you'll find plenty of wild swimming spots (ask Dave if you don't).

Wander the garden, help yourselves to home-grown veg in season, take part in cider making in autumn, enjoy Pat's homemade cream teas all year – and when they are laying, eggs from her hens. Dave's sculptures are dotted about the romantic garden and you can visit his studio – you're welcome to paint there too. It's a generous-spirited place.

A 10-minute walk along the footpath will bring you to the Peter Tavy Inn for a delicious lunch and a pint. Lovely to wander back to your homely space, light the wood-burner and be together.

"What a fantastic haven! Pat and Dave are so welcoming and respectful of your privacy. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable accommodation in a great location with wonderful pubs within walking distance. We were welcomed with a delicious cream tea. A truly creative and inspirational place to stay, highly recommended, thank you."

"A lovely little hideaway in a beautiful village on the edge of Dartmoor. Pat and Dave were wonderfully accommodating and kind, made us a delicious cream tea on arrival (even though we'd only told them last minute when we were arriving) and were there to ask questions when needed without ever being intrusive. Their garden is stunning and the Annexe is a wonderful little place to get away from the world. From the wood burner to the lovely outside tablet, the peg rail to the beautifully done up bathroom, you feel at home and in a secret place, the perfect place for a weekend break. Thank you!"

"Just about perfect, beautiful place a really fabulous garden, just a great spot to forget the M5! Pat and Dave made us so welcome in their charming environment. The Studio itself has a lovely interior with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Mary Tavy is also in a great position for exploring Dartmoor or the coast A cream tea when we arrived was fabulous! Three good Pubs nearby with good food, what more could you want--- We will be back!

"I could not have chosen a more perfect place in which to write. Pat and Dave were discrete, sensitive hosts who gave me space and privacy while also offering warm hospitality. I found everything comfortable and welcoming and the garden is completely beautiful. Tavistock is a lovely old market town and my walks on Dartmoor were memorable - so much wild space and beauty. I would recommend this lovely location to anyone who wishes to step outside the 'madding crowd'. I lost track of dates and time during my stay and did not want to leave! Thank you for for providing such an enchanting experience."
