Just moments from the front door, you can stroll along the tranquil River Taw or venture onto Dartmoor’s wild moorlands for invigorating walks and breathtaking scenery. The coast is within easy reach, offering a choice of stunning beaches for days by the sea. After a day of adventure, return to the comfort of The Coach House and unwind with complimentary prosecco in front of a roaring open fire, or soak up the sunshine in the walled garden. The cottage has been thoughtfully renovated to provide a full cosy cottage experience with modern comforts. The well-equipped kitchen features an electric range with ovens and five hobs, microwave, full-sized fridge and freezer, and all the cookware and utensils you need. There’s also a washing machine and drying rack for your convenience. The dining table seats four comfortably, and extends to seat six guests using the wooden bench. In the living room, enjoy a wood burner with supplied logs and kindling, a large flat-screen TV with Freeview and streaming access, and a selection of board games and puzzles. The corner sofa converts into a sofa bed for extra guests—please let us know if you need additional bedding. French doors lead directly to the garden, where you’ll find outdoor seating for up to eight and a separate bistro table for morning coffee. Upstairs, the bedrooms offer a double bed in one room and two singles in the other, with ample storage, touch-dimmable lamps, alarm clocks, and charging points. Both rooms are equipped with hairdryers and straighteners, and one features a selection of books for all ages. The modern bathroom has a shower, sink, and toilet. Parking is available on the gravel drive for a small car, with alternative parking on the main road just a minute’s walk away for larger vehicles. Nestled on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, The Coach House is the perfect retreat for those seeking both adventure and tranquillity in one of England’s most captivating landscapes. Step outside and find yourself surrounded by rolling hills, ancient forests, and the dramatic tors that define Dartmoor’s wild beauty. Spend your days wandering along rivers and wetlands, discovering Bronze Age stone circles and the remains of medieval farmhouses. If you’re drawn to the coast, you’re less than an hour’s drive from the golden sands of Bude and Widemouth Bay. These stunning beaches are renowned for their excellent surfing, scenic coves, and breathtaking coastal walks. Enjoy vibrant seaside towns filled with shops, restaurants, bars, and coffee shops—perfect for a day trip or a change of pace from the moors. Widemouth Bay, in particular, is a favorite for both families and surfers, boasting Blue Flag waters and surf schools for all abilities. Closer to home, the bustling market town of Okehampton is just four miles away, offering independent shops, cozy cafes, and welcoming pubs for a true taste of Devon life. Holsworthy, 23 miles away, provides additional shopping and a lively weekly market. The area is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, with opportunities for walking, cycling, horse riding, golf, fishing, and more—all set against the stunning backdrop of Dartmoor’s rugged scenery. Within a ten-minute stroll from The Coach House, you’ll find a peaceful riverside path along the River Taw and the scenic climb up White Rock Hill, offering panoramic views of the village. In the heart of the village, two inviting pubs await: The Taw River Inn, with its delicious food and sunny beer garden, and The Devonshire Inn, with traditional charm and folk music nights. The village shop is well-stocked with daily essentials and freshly baked goods, and even has space to enjoy a morning coffee. The Coach House is your gateway to the best of Devon, all year round! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen -

Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon F. Jul 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing after working My wife and I stayed at The Coach House while I was working in the area, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The cottage is cosy, beautifully maintained, and in a fantastic location for exploring both Dartmoor and the coast. After long days out (or at work), we loved relaxing in front of the fire or enjoying the peaceful garden. Thoughtful touches like the prosecco on arrival and a well-equipped kitchen made it feel like a real home from home. Highly recommended! ##### Simon F. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025
