This cottage was exactly what we needed, a perfect warm and cosy retreat , surrounded by nature and the amazing moores. We absolutely loved it
We had an amazing week at this little idyllic cottage. Family of 4, the 'Kids' are 16 and 20 happily shared the twin room. I wished I had taken less when we first descended the steep path through the woods, but after a couple of ventures out, it became the perfect warm up to our Dartmoor tor adventures! We cooked, talked, played games by the fire and my son took his guitar to entain us. It really was the most perfect holiday. The circular walk from the cottage around Houndtor to Haytor (8miles ish) was our favourite day. It was an easy walk with moderate elements. It was a hot day and we cooled off in streams along the way. The medieval village was beautiful.
Gratnor is a fairy tale place. Leave your car at the top of the hill, walk across a field and down through the woods, over a little stream and into another world. You could stay here the whole time and not see another soul (other than the sheep in the field next door), or you can walk up on the moors all day and return for an evening by the fire. One week at the end of March and we had sunshine, torrential rain, high winds, hail, snow, thunder and lightning and a mini flood. And we loved every moment. If you like an old world adventure, this is the place to go.
