About this cottage rental

Southmead Cottage is a recently totally renovated property in the stunning hamlet of Lettaford. This medieval hamlet is made up of just 5 properties which sits in the heart of Dartmoor. Southmead Cottage adjoins Southmead Farmhouse. The Property has 3 bedrooms and has been refurbished to a very high standard throughout. The cottage sits on a bridle path which takes you directly onto the High Moor so is perfect for those who enjoy donning their walking boots and forgetting their car for their stay. It sits directly on the Mariner’s Way, a beautiful walk that takes one from North to South Devon coasts. For provisions, restaurants and excellent shopping, it sits between the 2 lovely towns of Chagford and Moretonhampstead . Children can be delighted with The Miniature Pony Centre just a mile away and for a little spa or restaurant luxury, Bovey Castle is 1 1/2 miles away. The cottage itself has 3 bedrooms , 2x doubles( well super king and king!) and a smaller room which has 2x bunk beds (adult size). There is a full bathroom downstairs and an ensuite for the upstairs. There is WiFi throughout the cottage (bearing in mind it is rural Dartmoor so the speed is sometimes interrupted) and there is a television in the kitchen, upstairs and downstairs larger bedrooms. We have 2x cotbeds and a high chair for those visiting with small children. There is a washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, fridge and separate freezer and a well equipped kitchen. The cottage has a small courtyard garden which can be accessed through a door in the downstairs bedroom as well as the kitchen. We will consider well behaved dogs as long as they stay downstairs and not on the furniture! We have a FRIDAY changeover. We have always said we would want to make a holiday cottage one that we would want to visit and this is certainly it! We look forward to welcoming you.

Simon and Sally and Monty were the most fantastic hosts and really looked after us. The cottage was spotless and looked even better than all the photos. Wonderful walks from the front door, wild swimming close by , and our dog loved it all too. Can’t thank them enough

We stayed in this wonderful cottage on the very edge of Dartmoor for about three weeks at the beginning of summer. A bridleway passes by the front door that takes you straight out into Dartmoor with endless hiking options. Another trail takes you over Maldon Hill to Chagford. Moretonhampstead is close by car for groceries and Exeter is only 45 minutes away. I recommend the Ordnance Survey Explorer map for Dartmoor. The paper map comes with a digital download for your phone. The quality of the beds is very important to us due to a bad back. The beds were very good. The cottage was fully equipped with everything we needed. There was plenty of space and very homey. When the bandwidth did not stream Netflix, we binged 4 seasons of Friends from the large collection of DVDs. Our O2 mobile phone did not work well in the area. We hiked to Chagford for breakfast at Folklore to catch up on text messages. Dog friendly! The cottage is dog friendly and the whole area is dog friendly. You can bring your dogs to almost all pubs and restaurants, and people do. I highly recommend this beautiful property for a short or long stay. Thank you Sally and Simon!

I loved this place, it was spotless. There has been much thought put into this place, it really has everything you need. It is very tasteful and the location is perfect for some peace and quiet. The only downside is the internet WiFi is a little unreliable. But otherwise a perfect place to stay :)

Southmead Cottage was everything we had hoped for, and in a perfect, wonderfully quiet Dartmoor location. Great for walks and touring the Higher Moor. We enjoyed every moment.

Excellent property for a family holiday with plenty of room for a group of 2 grandparents, parents and 2 children under 12. Kitchen well equipped for catering for family meals, cottage is quite remote down narrow lane so ate in most evenings. Lovely evening walks on your doorstep and well located for day trips to lots of tourist attractions in Dartmoor. Friendly owners live next door and offer quick response if needed. Overall clean and comfortable accommodation which we can recommend to anyone wanting a quiet peaceful break in beautiful surroundings.
