There is a good selection of self-catering properties within the Dartmoor National Park, the nearby towns and surrounding area perfect for a short break. Couples and groups wishing to explore the National Park on foot, bike or horse have a number of rural cottages to choose from; families will no doubt opt for the converted barns on farms where children can learn more about the area’s strong farming traditions; and there are also character apartments and houses within the market towns.

Dartmoor is an area of natural rugged beauty with river gorges, wooded valleys, granite rock and wild moors grazed by Dartmoor ponies. The ancient town of Tavistock is a good base for those wanting facilities on their doorstep, it is over 900 years old with quaint streets and Benedictine Abbey ruins. The market town of Okehampton is also an ideal base particularly for those interested in outdoor pursuits.
