We loved everything about the cottage, the location, just how lovely and quiet it was, the comfort of the property. Bonus was the welcome cream tea we had on arrival. Thank you!! Our only regret was we did not book more days! We can't wait to return and will book again.

Widecombe Cottage at Lower Venton is a luxury holiday home, perfect for couples who enjoy countryside activities or looking for a romantic break in the heart of Dartmoor. A detached barn conversion, the cottage has been professionally designed and lovingly handcrafted using local oak finished to the highest standard, and stylishly furnished for your comfort. The double bedroom features a handmade oak king sized bed and a stylish en-suite bathroom with a double ended roll top bath. The cosy living room has a log burner and underfloor heating - perfect for a quiet night in watching a movie or listening to music. The kitchen is handmade in solid oak and granite and fully equipped with a 4-ring gas hob, double oven, fridge, dishwasher, microwave and washer / dryer and other essentials. We even offer a fully stocked wine rack with an honesty box arrangement for payment. The underfloor heating and hot water are powered by a combination of solar power and gas - ensuring your comfort whatever the weather. The south-facing sun terrace and garden with BBQ and dining area offer breathtakingly beautiful views over the surrounding pastureland and the open moor. There is free parking on-site and EV charging available on request.
We have lived and worked on Dartmoor for over 25 years.  We raised our family here and have been lucky enough to be able to enjoy this beautiful place with its rugged tors, woodland walks, amazing views over open moorland and it's rural villages and communities. We look forward to welcoming you to our little bit of Dartmoor!
Lower Venton 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 and cycle rides from the doorstep, the riding stables just down the lane offer stunning treks across Dartmoor for riders of all abilities and nearby Bonehill Rocks offers some of the best bouldering in the country. A five-minute level 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”, pick up your daily provisions at the village shop or relax over a pint at “The Old Inn”. Lower Venton has everything you could hope for in a country break. Visit us in autumn or winter and curl up for cosy evenings in front of the log burner - or enjoy year-round walks and sightseeing in the fabulous Dartmoor countryside. Any time of the year, Lower Venton is the place to enjoy Dartmoor!
