    The cottage was perfect for us (3 adults, 2 kids). Everything was prepared when we arrived and the cottage is really good equipped. Really nice to have bed sheets and towels provided and we even got the towels changed after one week. The kitchen is fully equipped and we even found a small bottle of milk in the fridge. In North Tawton (a 3 minute drive away) you will find a small SPAR supermarket which has everything you need. Bigger supermarkets are about 15minutes away by car in Okehampton or ...

In North Tawton (a 3 minute drive away) you will find a small SPAR supermarket which has everything you need. Bigger supermarkets are about 15minutes away by car in Okehampton or Exeter (about a 25mins drive). There is currently one Pub in North Tawton which serves food (The White Hart) - try the Burger! ;-) The cottage is in a rural area which will give you privacy and time to relax but it also means that you will definitely need the car for whatever you are planning to do and the WiFi (or the Internet) is quite slow, so also a chance to take a break there - you are on vacation! ;-) We had a great time spending our 2 week family vacation at the Bale House and it is a really good location to explore Dartmoor and Devon.

Warden Farm Cottages

An attractive group of barn conversion cottages situated on the outskirts of the picturesque village of North Tawton, in the heart of Devon, close to the Dartmoor National Park. These North Tawton cottages are located in a rural setting surrounded by green meadows full of grazing animals, and have marvellous, far-reaching countryside views towards Dartmoor. These excellent, Devon stone cottages have been sympathetically designed to provide spacious accommodation of a high standard, each with their own contemporary style. There are five acres of private meadows surrounding these North Tawton cottages, where guests can walk the dog, sit and relax, or watch the abundant wildlife around the natural ponds. The Taw Valley provides lovely walks along the river banks, and the local long distance Tarka Trail follows in the footsteps of the character Tarka the Otter, from Henry Williamson’s famous novel. In Devon, you can always be assured of plenty of local produce shops, traditional pubs, and quaint villages with a slow pace of life, however, the more adventurous may wish to tackle the rugged and dramatic Dartmoor Tors nearby. The North Devon coastline is renowned for its long sandy beaches, ideal for safe bathing and surfing, whilst the historic cathedral city of Exeter is just a short drive away, with its cobbled streets, array of architecture, and interesting quayside area with cafés and antique shops. A stay in these beautiful North Tawton cottages will provide peace, relaxation, and a taste of rural life in stunning Devon countryside.

The property

Converted from a stone granary and hayloft, this North Tawton cottage provides cosy, elegant accommodation with plenty of character and a scattering of antiques for an authentic rustic feel.

The master double bedroom at this North Tawton cottage has an en-suite and is accessed up its own staircase, whilst the remaining three bedrooms share a separate staircase, offering plenty of space for everyone in the family to sleep comfortably.

There are lovely views from the south facing sitting room, which with external doors to the garden, makes it perfect for a large family gathering all year round.

At this Devon cottage, there is a private front garden as well as a walled rear lawn with a small pond and seating, a lovely spot to watch the sun go down and enjoy the views toward the hills.
