By Mark & friends on 24-Jan-2025Lovely location with spectacular views. Cottage immaculately clean. Great walks straight onto the moor from the back door. Brilliant pub at the end of the drive. What’s not to like?!
Surrounded by the history of Dartmoor
By Dave on 08-Jan-2024We have stayed at Higher Blackabroom on several occasions over the last year or so. We found the booking system via the owners easy. Laura answered all our initial questions and was always contactable should we need her. The cottage is in an ideal location between Tavistock and Okehampton. It is accessible via car, bus or bicycle for us! It is surrounded by beautiful views of Dartmoor and the area is seeped in history. Its private peaceful surroundings, the wildlife and starry night skies lure us back again and again. It’s a great place to share with family too, as it is really spacious indoors and outside. The local pub is open every day and they always give you a great welcome. The log burner in winter is a great asset with complimentary wood and the outdoor lifestyle in the better weather with the bbq is amazing. We’ve seen foxes, deer, sheep, cows, horses, birds of prey and so much more wildlife during our stays. Higher Blackabroom is a great place to stay on Dartmoor. We never tire of exploring the local Dartmoor history; or breathing in the fresh air; or climbing a tor; or watching the night skies or indeed just relaxing away from the busyness of life. We look forward to returning soon….
Peaceful Moorland Escape
By Theresa on 20-Dec-2023We have stayed at Higher Blackabroom on several occasions during 2023 and 2024. Our first visit was as a family of six plus one dog. The accommodation was perfect for all the family and the downstairs bedroom and bathroom was convenient for our elderly mother. The kitchen facilities were great and we were able to cook a full Christmas dinner for all the family and share it in the wonderfully spacious dining/lounge area. The cottage was cosy with the log burner roaring in the background and the owners had put a lovely tree up for us and provided the wood for the fire. It really was the perfect setting for our family time together. The cottage is so peaceful and private and is surrounded by nature. There are beautiful moorland walks as you step outside the door and a host of tors to climb. The grandchildren and dog were so happy and didn’t want to leave! My husband and I have returned to the cottage on several occasions. It offers us so much and helps us maintain a healthier lifestyle. We love the location on the moor as it offers us the opportunity to relax, walk and cycle. There is also a regular bus service to Tavistock and Okehampton which stops right outside the pub at the end of the driveway. The owner, Laura, has been excellent at communicating with us. We appreciated the personal touch. We very much look forward to returning to Higher Blackabroom soon - it is a special place which we never tire of!
