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!
