Luxury Self-Catering in the heart of Dartmoor
Widecombe Cottage at Lower Venton Farm is a cosy cottage perfect for couples who enjoy countryside activities or looking for a luxury romantic break in the heart of Dartmoor.

The cottage has a terrace and garden views, features 1 bedroom with king-size bed, en-suite bathroom with a bath, a living room and a flat-screen TV.

Underfloor heating throughout ensures your comfort, whatever the weather! Guests at the holiday cottage can enjoy hiking nearby, or make the most of the garden.
Lower Venton Farm is an especially peaceful place to stay, part of a small hamlet set just off a sleepy country lane. Dartmoor ponies may be seen trotting past the gate and yet you are within easy reach of many of South Devon’s main attractions. There are moorland walks from the doorstep and riding stables just down the lane offer stunning treks across Dartmoor for riders of all abilities. A five-minute stroll takes you to “The Rugglestone Inn”, our closest local pub serving real ale and a menu featuring locally sourced, home cooked produce. The village of Widecombe In the Moor, well-known for its annual fair, is a further five-minute walk. There you can enjoy brunch or a cream tea at “The Cafe on the Green” or relax over a pint at “The Old Inn”. Lower Venton has everything you could hope for in a country break.
