Lower Willsworthy Cottage
AN EXCLUSIVE LUXURY RETREAT IN THE HEART OF DARTMOOR.
Featured and recommended by BBC Countryfile Magazine and Barbour Clothing, Lower Willsworthy Cottage offers a truly special countryside escape in the heart of Dartmoor, Devon.
Set within 40 acres of breathtaking countryside, this beautifully converted, traditional detached stone barn combines timeless rural charm with luxurious comfort. Surrounded by spectacular views, peaceful gardens and unspoilt natural beauty, it is the perfect place to escape and immerse yourself in the tranquillity of the Devon countryside.
As the estate’s sole holiday accommodation, Lower Willsworthy Cottage offers a rare sense of privacy and exclusivity. The beautiful gardens, grounds and surrounding countryside are yours to enjoy, creating a wonderfully secluded retreat for couples, families and anyone seeking a little space to unwind.
A PRIVATE COUNTRYSIDE HAVEN:
Discover the simple pleasures of country living, from relaxing beside the gently flowing Willsworthy Brook in your secluded guest garden, to exploring the estate’s picturesque walks and finding the perfect spot for a peaceful picnic.
Enjoy your own stretch of the magnificent River Tavy, complete with single-bank fishing rights, or experience something a little more adventurous with a refreshing dip in the natural rock pool on a warm summer’s day. Onsite clay pigeon shooting is also available for guests seeking an additional activity.
As evening falls, settle into the courtyard seating area and admire the far-reaching views across Dartmoor, with spectacular sunsets providing a beautiful backdrop to the end of the day.
A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE:
The estate is home to its own stable yard and Jerry, our much-loved and rather infamous Shetland pony, who is always a favourite with younger guests. Children can enjoy meeting, patting and grooming him, adding a memorable touch to their countryside stay.
For those who love horses, a horse and pony trekking centre is just a ten-minute drive away, offering the opportunity to explore the magnificent moorland on horseback.
Whether you prefer peaceful days surrounded by nature or holidays filled with outdoor adventures, Lower Willsworthy Cottage provides the perfect base for discovering the very best of Devon and Cornwall.
DISCOVER DEVON AND CORNWALL:
Just a short distance away lies the award-winning market town of Tavistock, renowned for its historic Pannier Market, independent shops, traditional pubs and excellent restaurants.
The beautiful beaches of the south Devon and Cornwall coasts are also within easy reach, making it easy to combine a tranquil countryside retreat with days by the sea.
Nearby attractions include National Trust destinations such as Lydford Gorge and Castle Drogo, the spectacular waterfalls at Becky Falls, and the historic maritime city of Plymouth, with its famous Hoe, characterful Barbican and National Marine Aquarium.
From exploring historic landmarks to discovering hidden countryside walks, there is something to enjoy in every season.
COMFORT, CHARACTER AND BEAUTIFUL VIEWS:
The cottage has been thoughtfully arranged to make the most of its exceptional setting. All accommodation is located on the first floor, apart from the twin bedroom, which is situated on the ground floor. This distinctive layout means that every room enjoys a wonderful view of the surrounding countryside.
Inside, traditional character is complemented by thoughtful comforts, creating a welcoming and relaxing place to return to after a day exploring the moors, rivers and coast.
Luxury bedding, quality soaps and fluffy towels are provided, alongside free, unlimited Wi-Fi, ensuring that everything you need for a comfortable stay is taken care of.
YOUR OWN PRIVATE ESCAPE TO DARTMOOR:
Whether you are dreaming of a romantic countryside break, a memorable family holiday or simply a few days away from the demands of everyday life, Lower Willsworthy Cottage offers something increasingly rare: space, privacy, natural beauty and the freedom to slow down.
With 40 acres to explore, a beautiful river, secluded gardens, magnificent Dartmoor views and the charm of a traditional stone barn, this is more than somewhere to stay. It is a place to reconnect with nature, make lasting memories and experience the quiet luxury of having the countryside almost entirely to yourself.

I cannot speak highly enough of the property, the hosts and the location, we simply had a fantastic experience. The property was really well appointed, in great condition and super clean. The location is stunning with fantastic views out across Dartmoor and direct access within minutes to some of the best walking in North Dartmoor. Lastly you will find it difficult to receive a warmer welcome and more accommodating hosts anywhere, thank you so much, we will be back !

This beautifully appointed property is only about three miles from the Mary Tavy Inn on the A386, meaning it's not only easy to reach but also you can submerge yourself and forget the outside world in an area of outstanding natural beauty without effort. The house itself was immaculately kept and the kitchen was well stocked with kit. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. We enjoyed swimming in the Teign river which forms part of the farm's boundary and climbing up the Tors was hot but enjoyable work. Sitting in the garden reading a book next to the brook was very relaxing and watching the moon rise over the moor was a treat. Thanks to the heatwave, we only ate a couple of dinners inside, with the bbq getting a lot of use. There's so much space and the air is so clean that it was difficult to leave and drive home on the motorway. We all loved our stay and are looking forward to returning when we can.

What a wonderful place to stay. Mike and Sophie are very welcoming and helpful. Loved being able to walk around the fields and down to the river. Visited the horses every day, especially liked Jerry the Shetland. My husband and son enjoyed clay pigeon shooting expertly managed by Mike. Thank you for a lovely holiday.
