“A real log lodge built out of 6 inch pine logs.”
It was well laid out, comfortable and well equiped. The view from from the lodge was outstanding and surrounded by fields and areas to walk.. It was a few miles from the nearest shop but when you are on holiday this hardly a problem if you plan ahead. There are several pubs nearby serving good food and a great Indian restaurant in Okehampton
Dartmoor View Lodges
A group of three immaculate lodges with south-facing views set in the stunning countryside of Highampton in Devon looking towards Dartmoor, just four miles from the bustling town of Hatherleigh.
These superb, luxury log cabins were constructed in 2006 from 8” pine logs and are warm in the winter and cool in the summer months. The current owners took over the business a couple of years ago and have renovated each lodge internally and externally and have carried out considerable landscaping in the grounds.
These are lovely properties, with traditional features such as the open fires and nothing on the walls except the hand-crafted logs that the lodges are made of. They have open plan living areas with big, comfortable seating, making it easy for guests to join together and relax in each others company whilst watching the TV. The kitchens are well-equipped and the inside is very spacious, making it perfect for families and groups.
Each cottage can sleep four people and have their own undercover patio area through the double doors in the living area, complete with furniture and unmissable views towards the incredible Dartmoor.
These terrific lodges are located in a stunning, tranquil location in Devon, with plentiful bird and wildlife, with incredibly black night skies due to very little light pollution. It is the ideal spot for an active outdoor holiday as the Dartmoor View Lodges prove to be great bases for people who spend a lot of the day out and about. Highampton itself is brimming with fields and farmland as well as a village pub, and many different walking and cycling paths.
Nearby is Hatherleigh, just a short drive away, it is a delightful old town bursting with thatched roofs as well as quirky craft shops, cafes and rural pubs.
A group of astounding lodges, perfect for family and friends to enjoy the unspoiled Devon countryside.

A small village in rural Devon, surrounded by beautiful farmland and boasting a popular village pub and shop. Highampton is within the area known as Ruby Country, and there are numerous trails for walkers and cyclists amongst Devon's unspoilt countryside. Nearby is Hatherleigh, which has a Ruby Country Market and a few interesting craft shops and galleries and, being an ancient market town, it consists of cob and thatch cottages and several old English pubs. Hatherleigh lies in the Torridge Valley, just seven miles from the edge of the Dartmoor National Park, and is a wonderful central location for the coast-to-coast long distance trail, which includes the popular Tarka Trail.
