The view from the lounge window at Moorview

(Photographs by N Birkin)

Moorview is a granite built, converted barn, which nestles in a small peaceful hamlet on the western edge of Dartmoor.

Moorview is ideally suited for those wishing to enjoy walking cycling or riding over breathtakingly scenic Dartmoor, we also have some lovely riverside walks also just a stones through away.

On the moors, wild ponies graze side by side with sheep and cattle; it is a walkers dream, it offers a sense of freedom.  All kinds of animals, birds and plants can be found if you walk or sit quietly and watch. Dartmoor is a place where you can leave all your cares and worries behind you and just relax.

Although remote and tranquil, Moorview's location makes Devon and Cornwall, North, South, East or West accessible, the possibilities are limitless and some examples of what we mean are listed under Things to see and do but you don't have to travel far from Moorview to have a wonderful time, you can hire a cycle or fish or just take it easy and read a book, take a stroll to the local pub or a brisk walk over the top of Boulters Tor.

Why not try a traditional "Devonshire cream tea" or enjoy good food at one of the local pubs or restaurants.

We have two local pubs in opposite directions, both serving good local ales and food, both of which have been on the television series "Taste of the West" in the past year and both are within walking distance of our cottage.

Our nearest town is Tavistock which is about five miles away, Tavistock is an attractive historic market town, which offers a variety of interesting shops and cafes and has a pannier market which is open most days throughout the year. 

Tavistock was voted "Britain's Best Market Town" 2004
