There is a superb standard of furnishings and comfort. Furnishings have been designed to complement their natural rural setting to offer maximum comfort, practicality and convenience. Fully equipped to ensure you want for nothing during your holiday, the last detail has been thought of from the hassle free shopping for arrival to the activities you may wish to enjoy during your stay.

Stable doors lead out onto the patios and fields below. Set in over 500 acres of farm and open moorland with panoramic views from every window, this really is total escapism.

Catering to suit you... For convenience, you can order your shopping in advance and eat ready-made, home cooked meals and buy home-bred pork from the estate.

The Cottages...
Hound Tor
Sleeps 6
3 double bedrooms, 1 ensuite shower-room, 1 family bathroom
2 storey
Converted out of the original stables with hay loft above, this aspect of the yard featured many practical elements such as trap door directly above the hay racks where the hay could just be lowered in for the horses and mucking out door at low level directly into the yard where the midden was located. All the original partition panelling and hayracks have been saved to incorporate back into the overall scheme together with the block flooring.

Rippon Tor
Sleeps 6
2 double bedrooms, 1 x children's bedroom, 1 family bathroom
2 storey

Located in the corner of the yard, this would originally have been the Piggery with boiler room. When converting the properties we uncovered the original entrance door from the yard and opened it up. We knew it was there because we had obtained the original plans that were drawn up on linen. This cottage has wonderful views to Rippon Tor.

Hay Tor
Sleeps 6
3 double bedrooms; 1 ensuite shower-room, 1 family bathroom
Single storey, ground floor

The calves that were housed in the stalls in this barn must have had a lovely life with such beautiful views to look out to. Before the conversion started these barns were used when the farm's herd of pedigree Saddleback Pigs were farrowing down. Between Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve 2004 over 60 piglets were born at Holwell!

Honeybag Tor
Sleeps 10
2 double bedrooms, 1 family bathroom on ground floor
3 double bedrooms, 1 ensuite shower-room and family bathroom on first floor
2 storey

Originally the Cart Barn, this building has a magnificent ceiling and only half of the barn had a first floor. The design here has incorporated a wonderful galleried landing to maximise on the fantastic views. There are two staircases to access the first floor of this extensive cottage which is ideal for larger family get-togethers.

Bring your horse
Dartmoor offers outstanding outriding on the moor and is the perfect environment to bring your horse on holiday. See the Equestrian Facilities table below for details of stabling and facilities for your horse.

There is masses to do
