About this cottage rental


Lower Willsworthy Cottage has been featured and recommended by BBC Country file magazine and Barbour clothing.
Situated within 40 beautiful acres, the property is a warm, traditional, detached converted stone barn, offering luxury, peace, tranquillity and stunning views all around. The property is the sole holiday home on the estate, so you don't have to share the lovely gardens and grounds with anybody else!

There are many great features for everybody. Relax and unwind by the Willsworthy Brook in the secluded guest gardens or enjoy some lovely walks and picnics around the grounds. There is your own stretch of the splendid River Tavy to enjoy (with single bank fishing rights). You can even take a dip in our rock pool, the perfect place to cool off on a hot summer’s day or why not try your hand at Clay Pigeon shooting, which is available onsite. In the evening you can take in the stunning views of Dartmoor and gorgeous sunsets from the courtyard seating area.

The estate also has a stable yard and an infamous Shetland Pony named Jerry, who is perfect for younger guests to pat and groom. Alternatively, you can explore the moors on horse back as there is a horse and pony trekking centre just ten minutes drive away. If horses aren't your thing, why not take an Alpaca for a walk at Lydford Gorge Alpacas.

Nearby is the award winning market town of Tavistock with its famous pannier market and plethora of shops, pubs and restaurants. The beaches on the south coast of Devon and Cornwall are easily reached. Nearby attractions include National Trust properties such as Lydford Gorge and Castle Drogo or visit Becky Falls and historic Plymouth, with its Hoe, Barbican and National Marine Aquarium.

All of the cottage accommodation is located on the first floor, except for the twin bedroom which is located on the ground floor. The great benefit of this arrangement is that each and every room has a wonderful countryside view. Luxury bedding, soaps and fluffy towels are provided, as is free unlimited Wi-Fi.

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.

Amazing stay at a fantastic property

Just on our way home from an amazing holiday in Devon. Would highly recommend Lower Willsworthy Holiday Cottage, Dartmoor as the place to stay. We had 40 acres of grounds just for us to explore. We swam... OK I dipped my toe and Lily braved the cold water in the rock pool, we had picnics and bbqs. But the best part was seeing how happy the kids were being surrounded by the animals. Lily had the best time feeding Jerry the pony and the other horses that lived there ( Lower Willsworthy Stables Dartmoor), helping with walking the horses in the fields, feeding the chickens and ducks and collecting the eggs each morning, walking Baggy the dog...the list goes on! Whilst I sit in traffic on the M5 with Max screaming in the back I sit with a very happy heart of all the memories we have created. 😍

We have just returned from a wonderful holiday at Lower Willsworthy. Mike and Sophia were so kind and helpful (Mike even unpacked our Tesco shop which arrived early!). The holiday cottage was spotless and equiped with everything we needed and the attention to detail was fantastic with fresh flowers, fresh duck eggs and homemade Easter cupcakes. The children really enjoyed going to see the horses, the chickens and the ducks every day and Sophia even let them groom Jerry a couple of times which they loved. It is such a special place and the views are amazing! We will definitely be returning. Thank you so much Mike and Sophia!
