Description
Hartwell is a former farmhouse which was built in the 19th century close to the village of Sydenham Damerel in West Devon. It has a heated pool which is included with all bookings from May to October. Tucked away in the heart of the Tamar Valley, this attractive part of the country is officially an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The house has modern facilities (including wifi and blu-ray player) but retains its traditional feel, including original slate flagstones and old wooden floors. There's a large well equipped kitchen containing a Rayburn, and two living rooms each with a cosy wood burner. Furniture is mostly antique or older style, in keeping with the overall feel of the house.
Comfortably sleeping 10 people, the bedrooms are as follows
Bedroom 1 - (Double) Kingsize four-poster bed
Bedroom 2 - (Twin) 2 single beds
Bedroom 3 - (Twin) Bunk beds
Bedroom 4 - (Twin) 2 single beds
Bedroom 5 - (Double) Kingsize double bed
We also have a travel cot if needed.
The large attractive garden is great to explore or to play badminton or perhaps a communal game of cricket, football or rounders. You could just relax in the hammock next to the fish pond or go for a swim in the heated pool (May to Oct).
Surrounded by wildlife, we are visited by owls, buzzards, pheasants, rabbits and occasionally deer. Neighbouring fields play host to a mixture of horses, sheep, ducks and cattle. Footpaths lead in various directions from the house making it easy to explore the local countryside. And there's a 15th Century pub down the hill which used to be frequented by Charles I while on his way to Cotehele to visit his mistress!
Near by, Tavistock is an attractive and historic rural town with an eclectic mix of local independent shops and eateries as well as a few well known National stores. There is also a cinema/arts centre and swimming pool. Not to mention the wonderful Pannier Market which has been in existence since the 12th century!
A short trip in the car takes you to Dartmoor in one direction or Cornwall in the other, and we're equidistant from the North and South Cornwall/Devon coasts, making Hartwell an ideal base from which to explore the West Country.
See our website for some of the fantastic local activities and places to visit.
