About this house rental

Whitelady House is a beautiful 6-bedroom Devon country house set in a peaceful location with Dartmoor on your doorstep and the gorgeous Lydford Gorge at the bottom of the garden. Accommodating up to 12, this luxurious, dog-friendly self-catering property is the perfect 'home from home'where groups of friends and family can come together to unwind and enjoy a private place to relax and party. The house has been renovated and lovingly refurbished, exuding style and character with oak beams, inglenook fireplaces and exposed stone work, whilst retaining a homely, relaxed atmosphere. We can provide a memorable venue for a fun and relaxing house party, either self-catering or catered. We can remove the burden of preparing and cooking for a large group by providing a fully catered service where we will prepare and serve meals at the house, or alternatively, we offer the option of preparing meals, leaving you to add the finishing touches before popping our delicious food in the oven. Sit back and enjoy the company of friends and family, while we arrange everything for you. Whitelady House really is the ideal venue for a short break, a weekend or a hen party.

On the ground floor of the house, guests will find a large well-equipped kitchen complete with integrated appliances and an AGA. Next to this is the spacious dining room with lots of character features such as original slate floor, there is also a large oak table to comfortably seat up to 12. The dining room leads into the tastefully decorated drawing room where guests can relax in front of the wood-burner on one of the comfy sofas. A second relaxed sitting room can be found opposite the kitchen, this has a wood-burner, leather sofas, a TV, a DVD player and an iPod docking station.

There are six good sized bedrooms at the house, the first can be found on the ground floor and is a pretty twin with en-suite shower room, a dressing room and french doors opening out onto the garden. Two separate staircases lead to the first floor where a further five bedrooms, including two doubles with king-size beds and en-suite shower rooms, three twins and the family bathroom can be found. There is also a reading area on the first floor.

Outside, Whitelady House has a south facing patio with garden furniture and a fire pit with BBQ grill attachment. Beyond this are landscaped gardens and a croquet lawn. An added bonus for guests staying at Whitelady House is the hot tub, which is a wonderful place to sit back and admire the clear black skies that can be found over Dartmoor. Also, outside is table tennis and off road car parking for multiple cars.

An excellent stay

An excellent stay

A fabulous house which is remote but easy to find. Its perfect for the Lydford Gorge. Clean, comfortable and has everything you would need. Wifi is patchy (it works in the front bedroom, the hallway and one living room) and there is little phone signal so its worth planning around that. But it was lovely not to be slaves to technology for a long weekend. The welcome was friendly. The outside space is incredible. Highly recommended.

House was beautiful. Very well equipped and plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Had some lovely meals in the huge dining room. We really enjoyed using the hot tub and pool table. Spacious grounds with a secret gate to Lydford Gorge. Lots of lovely local walks and wonderful scenery.

Lovely house, lots of room, very helpful owners. We made good use of the hot tub even in the rain. Thanks for the yummy flapjacks. All the flavours were good, but Chocolate orange was a favorite.

It was a perfect holiday for all the family plus dog

The house is in a quiet area perfect for all the family, children loved playing in the garden and games room, lots of outside space for our dog Poppy. The house is spacious and very well set out so each room was used by all of us. We enjoyed our BBQs outside. We visited Lydford Gorge which was next door to the house, the children loved walking through the woods and then going for a welly boot paddle in the river.

Just What We Needed After Lockdown!

Just What We Needed After Lockdown!

We had such a lovely stay at the Whitelady! The house was spotless upon arrival, and Carol, the owner, was generous in allowing us to check in early. In addition to responding to my emails in a timely manner leading up to our stay, she also dropped by shortly after arrival to answer any additional questions and show us where a few things were. The gardens were gorgeous, and we spent most of our time sitting outside and enjoying a drink (or a competitive game of croquet!). The house didn’t lack for anything...the kitchen was well stocked, there was plenty of firewood, games/puzzles, and information on local attractions, pubs, events, etc. I’m addition to the amenities, the house is absolutely stunning. The rooms were well fitted with solid, comfortable furniture and decorated beautifully. We have stayed in a few large houses in this area, and this was by far our favourite stay so far!

Fantastic cottage and lovely service

Fantastic cottage and lovely service

Our first trip since lockdown and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. A lovely cottage which was larger than expected with very generous bedrooms. The addition of a downstairs en suite bedroom is great as well particularly I imagine if a guest has problems with the stairs. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and cooking with an AGA is always great. The grounds are lovely, the hot tub a nice little bonus and the location is great for walking etc although for some of the more touristy places you do still need to book in advance. There’s plenty of Tors to scale though as well as plenty of pubs now open to have a meal afterwards - all of which are taking sensible precautions. The owner is lovely and made sure all was in order for us which was great in these more difficult times. The flapjack gift pack was amazing but I suspect I’ll be working it off for weeks. Oh and we availed ourselves of the recommended private chef one night (Harrie from Boo to a Goose) and we were treated to an outstanding meal from two lovely hosts who sorted everything. I’d definitely recommend having the night off and getting Harrie to cook! All in all highly recommended and we wish the owners all the best as they start having people stay again.

Great location.

Great location.

Good size house that can accommodate the maximum amount of people with ease. Large fully equipped kitchen allowed us to cater for ourselves every evening. Fantastic location. Can highly recommend a walk to Tavistock via the pubs at Mary Tavy and Peter Tavy. We stayed late February but would be happy to return any time of year.

Liberty Trails Horse and House Party

Liberty Trails Horse and House Party

This was a booking for a party of ladies to come and ride on the moor. The house worked well, was comfortable, clean, warm and of good quality. The only two issues were; 1. The wifi had no internet connection for the majority of the weekend and 2. (a very minor one) The wood for the burners was too fresh to burn well, another year and it would be perfect!

Lovely, substantial house in picture postcard setting

Lovely, substantial house in picture postcard setting

Our very large family had a fabulous stay in this lovely big house, lots of features. Superb kitchen with more crockery, cutlery and utensils than a hotel, great for dinner parties! House was well heated, no problems with Wi-Fi, all the family managed to connect. Loads to do locally, we went to Looe a holiday resort about 30 miles away, very pretty also Plymouth. A lot to see locally as well if you look. Kids loved the hot tub, went in every evening. Can't fault the house and thanks to the owner for the splendid home made cakes they left us (:

Whitelady House

Whitelady House

My college friends and I had a lovely stay at Whitelady House in Devon. The house is beautifully furnished, spacious and very well equipped in a beautiful location; the back garden leads into Lydford Gorge which was absolutely beautiful in all its autumn glory. My college friends and I regularly book cottages throughout the UK and Whitelady House would certainly rank in the top 3; indeed we would definitely consider booking this one again as there is plenty of capacity for bigger parties. The only thing I can criticise Whitelady House for is it's wifi signal which is weak to say the least. Other than that it is the near perfect property especially if you like gorgeous countryside and walking.

A beautiful house on the edge of Dartmoor

A beautiful house on the edge of Dartmoor

We spent the second week of our holiday in this lovely house. The first week we were in another "HomeAway' house in Cornwall, which was also beautiful but very different. We were a party of 12 adults (2 families) and the house was more than big enough for us, the dining room is amazing. My only criticism, which isn't really one, was the poor wifi (they need a few extenders) and the lack of phone signal if you are on anything else than EE. The wifi is limited to the front 2 bedrooms and just about stretches to the TV room but that is it! Park cars outside the house rather than outside the out buildings as some slates are loose. The garden is lovely and so peaceful. We had 2 meals in the Castle pub in Lydford, which is just about walkable distance. Enjoyed the walk around Lydford Gorge. Had some great trips out to Hay Tor, Widecombe in the Moor (some lovely places to eat), Bude, Tavistock and the more adventurous of us had an excellent time 'dirt bike riding'. Loved the box of welcome homemade flapjacks, they went quickly. Only saw the owner once and she was very helpful. Only wish I could afford such a property near London!
