Description
BUTTERCUPS - a unique opportunity to stay in one of three really cosy log cabins on our small, delightful site at Highampton which lies between Hatherleigh and Holsworthy. Our lodges are constructed from 8" pine logs and are exceptionally warm and welcoming. We offer clean, comfortable accommodation that has views which are absolutely fantastic - right across miles of beautiful Devon countryside to Dartmoor in the distance. South facing with undercover patio. Parking on your own driveway alongside your lodge and garden area for your picnics or for the children to play in. Our lodges are fully furnished for up to four people, and are centrally placed for both the north and south coasts of Devon, and for the North Cornwall Coast - Widemouth Bay and Bude being particular favourites.
Holiday for 7/14 nights or take a short break - our lodges take 4 people comfortably in a main bedroom with a double bed and 2 twins in the second bedroom.
Please note the lodges and site are not really suitable for very young children so no-one under the age of 5 please.
The recently updated kitchen has a fridge, separate freezer, electric oven with ceramic hob and a microwave and in the lounge there's a large smart TV and recently upgraded superfast Wi-Fi throughout. There is a recently renovated shower room with electric shower and the water is mains with great pressure. There are heaters in all rooms and a log/coal burner in the living area.
Superfast Wi-Fi, toy box with games for young children and a table-tennis table, badminton net and swing ball with equipment. The village of Hatherleigh is about 4 miles away with a good selection of shops and cafes. There are also pubs, a small Co-Op supermarket and a skatepark.
The lodges face south towards Dartmoor - with absolutely breathtaking views. See our website for more details and photos.
Highampton is a small village situated in Ruby country with it’s fantastic selection of trails for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. The village of Hatherleigh is about 4 miles away and has a good selection of cafes and shops. There’s also pubs, supermarket and a new skatepark. The bustling town of Okehampton is a further 7 miles away. In the opposite direction about 7 miles away lies the pretty market town of Holsworthy with the beautiful beaches of Bude a further 9 miles away.
We are centrally placed for all parts of Devon and Cornwall. The area is one of peace and tranquillity, so if it's a quiet base you want for your holiday, then Dartmoor View Lodges is the place to be.
Highampton is a small village with a pub, village hall, school and visiting post-office.
Hatherleigh and Holsworthy are larger and have all the amenities you need. Our site is quiet and tranquil and wildlife is plentiful. In the early morning it is quite possible that you will see deer grazing and there are usually a lot of rabbits around and foxes pay the occasional visit. Birds thrive and we regularly see woodpeckers, tree creepers and buzzards even occasionally a kingfisher. Butterflies are also attracted by the many wild flowers that emerge in the spring. Bats feeding at dusk are a common sight and we enjoy black skies due to very little light pollution - great for stargazing.

“Amazing views. Tip-top chalet !”
We loved everything about the chalet from its layout to linen and towels provided. The hosts have thought everything through for utter ease, fridge, freezer, cutlery, crockery, even bin bags, tea towels and washing up liquid. They were also on hand during our stay for any questions. The main windows and doors in the living space all face forward onto uninterrupted views. It’s just outstanding. When we went, the buttercups were filling the meadow in abundance, it was like a painting . We enjoyed local beaches namely Bude and some nearby attractions ... riverdart country park ( 1hr) as well as Exeter. We were lucky with a sunny week and I think this added to the experience of enjoying the settling to its fullest.
