The seclusion, privacy and clean air will really appeal to those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday city life at any time of year.

The house is situated at the upper reaches of the wooded River Teign valley in the foothills of beautiful Dartmoor with it's granite tor's, Bronze Age circles, mossy cleaves and wild ponies. There are countless walks from the doorstep of the house up on to the moor, into the lowland countryside and to the local pubs and restaurants.

The largest outside swimming pool in Devon is at a beautiful location in Chagford next to the River Teign.

We are a 5 minute stroll from the 2 Michelin starred Gidleigh Park Hotel (but totally private from it) and 1.5 miles to the attractive stannary town of Chagford with it's handsome 15th and 16th century buildings. Voted best village to live in the UK in the Sunday Times 2015 guide. It has several pubs, restaurants, cafes, boutiques and large range of useful shops including an excellent hardware and moorland clothing shop, butcher, greengrocer and delicatessen.
Details of the area, the many restaurants, walks, pubs and places of local interest are all in our House Book Guide.
Chagford is an easy 4 miles from the main A30 and Gidleigh Park is a further short 5 minute drive from the village.
Much of Dartmoor is remote so if you are looking to explore comprehensively and get to the coast then a car is a must. Either bring your own or hire one at Exeter St David's Station if you arrive by train. We can recommend a car hire company.
Alternatively, you can simply take a taxi from the station at Exeter and spend your time here exploring on foot. Chagford is a beautiful 20-25 minute walk or 5 minute drive from the house.

What a beautiful place to stay. So tranquil and the ultimate place to relax. The property inside and out has such a high level of finish and looked after so well. Look out for the deer in the forest behind - such a treat. Will definitely be booking again.

The house is down a peaceful lane and is very private. The garden is beautiful with a hill view at the front and it backs on to woods. Deer, owls and beautiful night skies. Inside, the living area and beds are very comfortable, there are luxurious showers and a huge modern kitchen. The owner Adam was very thoughtful and helpful at all times. We highly recommend One Gidleigh Park.

Perfect countryside retreat
Perfect countryside retreat
One Gidleigh Park was the perfect place for my wife and I (plus our four-legged companion) to have a relaxing week away. Once there, the car hardly moved and we spent our days walking and exploring the wonderful Dartmoor countryside, the local village (a 30 minute walk) of Chagford or just relaxing in the lovely garden (occasionally interrupted by deer wandering through). Afternoon tea at Gidleigh Park Hotel was a well earned treat after all the walking.

Our second visit to 1GP, and just as wonderful as the first time. A lovely welcome basket and stunning location allowed us to take a decent break from work and relax. Some great walks from the property and you have to try the Afternoon Tea at Gidleigh Park - just don't plan to eat dinner as well !

This was our second stay and everything was just as good as the first time. Everything spotless and working well. Such a wonderful location and beautiful walks straight from the door. Weather not so kind this time but it's a great house for hunkering down on a rainy afternoon.

We had such a wonderful stay in this very special house. The house absorbs the stunning surroundings which consists of a very private, well kept garden with mature trees and beautiful flowers. You can faintly hear the nearby waterfalls when your in the garden, which is a blissful sound. It is immaculately clean and every detail is considered carefully. The kitchen is so well equipped with everything you need. It was exactly what we needed and we came home feeling very relaxed and refreshed after our stay. Thank you for the hamper on arrival, I was a huge fan of the red wine. I would highly recommend this property to anyone, especially if you have a dog as there are some wonderful walks on your doorstep and a helpful guide in the information pack gives you clear directions for walks that we would not have found ourselves. I did not want to go home. Thank you Adam for being such a great host xxx

This is a first class accommodation and everything about it oozes style. The interior has a homely feel with everything you could possibly need. The perfectly manicured garden and attached woods are a delightful bonus. The owners were on hand when required. Massive thank you for the break and definitely returning next year.
