  • "Aunty June’s was the perfect stay whilst home renovations were carried out."

    It’s a home from home with all the essentials. The bed was comfortable, the duvet luxurious and the surroundings were peaceful and beautiful. Would recommend to anyone!

    The hosts Debbie and Charlie were so welcoming , friendly and full of helpful advice. The cottage itself was one of the best we have stayed at. Everything was spotlessly clean, very comfortable beds, good Wifi and TV, all the kitchen equipment you could ask for , easy parking , nice garden , easy reach of the A30 ....and some GREAT pubs and National Trust properties . Oh , and our doggie loved it too ! Many thanks .

The property

Aunty June's cottage is a charming converted cottage located within the Dartmoor National Park on a family farm which has been in the family for generations.

This pet-friendly holiday retreat, ideal for a group of friends or a small family, boasts an enclosed garden and far reaching views.

From your allocated parking enter the cottage, passing the handy boot-room, ideal for pet owners, and enjoy the view of the Moors from the kitchen window.

The chefs in your party will enjoy the well-equipped kitchen with its fridge/freezer, double oven, and induction hob.

Gather for a meal in the dining room next to the large ornamental fireplace before relaxing in the living room with its Smart TV and a wood-burner-effect electric fire.

If the skies are clear, head out to the enclosed garden to try and catch a glimpse of the stars over Dartmoor.

Guests are welcome to walk in the wider gardens, but please note there are ponds in the grounds, so those with young children should take care.

At the end of the day, choose from one of the two well-appointed bedrooms, choose from a twin served by a ground-floor bathroom and shower room, or the king-size bedroom complete with its own en-suite shower.

The owner runs Dartmoor Tours from his trusted Landrover.

If you would like to explore the National Park with a local expert, do reach out at the time of booking.

With pubs and dramatic Torrs nearby, you should have a delightful day.

If you wish to head further afield, then the beaches of Dawlish and Teignmouth can provide some traditional seaside fun and are within easy reach due to the well-connected position of the cottage near the A30.

Enjoy a classic Devon break at Aunty Junes Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £175.
