About this cottage rental
Acorn Cottage is a self-contained semi-detached character granite barn and makes up part of a complex of converted former farm buildings.The property has been adapted for use by disabled guests, with the ground floor having wider doorways and being tiled throughout for ease of access by wheelchair. Downstairs, there is an entrance hall, a double bedroom (with direct access to the parking space) with TV/DVD, wet room fully equipped with shower seat and safety rails, kitchen with lowered work surfaces and hob, plus oven, microwave, fridge-freezer and dishwasher. A short flight of stairs leads up to a lounge, which includes a sofa, additional seating, TV and DVD player, and a second bedroom which is twin-bedded. Please note that the upstairs rooms have partially restricted height due to sloping ceilings. Outside, there is a small lawned area, and patio furniture and a BBQ are provided. There is an additional area of garden with flower beds and seating area located close to the cottage.
A travel cot and highchair are available. Wi-Fi is available free of charge.
A maximum of two pets are permitted (there is an additional charge of £30 per week or part thereof, which covers both pets). As there is livestock in nearby fields, dogs must be kept on a lead at all times when outside the cottage.
Although only minutes from the A30, the location is very peaceful and lies approximately 1.5 miles outside Dartmoor National Park, close to the villages of Sticklepath and Belstone. The nearby town of Okehampton has a range of shops and supermarkets, a museum, cinema, sports centre with swimming pool, and a golf course. Dartmoor is unsurpassed for walking, cycling and riding, and there are numerous National Trust properties in the area, including Finch Foundry, Castle Drogo and Lydford Gorge.
Please note that this property is only available for bookings not exceeding a maximum of 28 nights. A discount is available for stays of 7+ nights; please enquire about discounts for 4-, 5- and 6-night stays

Cosy barn conversion ideal for family of 4 with 1/2 pets.
Good access from main roads whilst offering quiet, scenic setting in farm area on the edge of Dartmoor.
Ideal location for exploring across Devon: the coast, Dartmoor and lovely quaint historic sites, villages, gardens and places of interest with plenty of recommended pubs, tea rooms and places to eat.
Acorn Cottage is well equipped offering everything for a home from home stay plus a wonderful welcome in terms of scones, clotted cream, home made jam, local apple juice and many essentials (milk, tea, coffee, wash up soaps etc) A freshly picked posy of sweet peas and some local soaps were offered. Our cat also had his own arrival basket with treats, a toy and instructions.
Alison is a wonderful host who thinks of everything and goes that extra mile: she provided comprehensive travel directions and checked our special interests and preferences in advance. So when we arrived she had typed up a list of skate parks & cycling options for our teen plus a comprehensive list of local & rated pubs/restaurants which proved very helpful and the ones we tried were excellent!
We had mixed weather yet with the micro climate were still able to get out and visit North & South Devon, some of Dartmoor, the locality, Exeter and spend some time chilling in the cottage. There are plenty of books to read, some board games, DVDs, TV and lots of visitor information. We all had a great stay including our cat
Thank-you

Spent a wonderful week at Acorn Cottage. A good base to explore Dartmoor. Lovely welcome pack from Alison - including scones and fresh eggs. Close to villages that have great pubs to eat and drink in. Would highly recommend

A lovely little cottage, in the most lovely countryside. We were welcomed with a cream tea & eggs feshly laid by the hens a lovely welcome , and a little gift of some Dartmoor soap (thank you). The cottage was comfortable and clean and it was reassuring to learn that the owner leaves the property for 72hrs before new guests can move in. We would recommend this cottage, the nearby walks were lovely, easy access to Dartmoor, and a great near by pub for a meal out (The Taw River Inn) We loved the area and would happily return in the furture.
