Overview
Property code: 77877

Perfectly placed to explore the whole of Dartmoor National Park, this attractive six-bedroom farmhouse enjoys a peaceful location close to the charming town of Lydford. This is a property designed with relaxation in mind, whether soaking in the hot tub after a long walk or curling up in front of the wood burner at the end of the day. The spectacular Lydford Gorge is on the doorstep and The Granite Way cycle path starts in the village for traffic-free rides across Dartmoor. The stunning White Lady Falls (0.5 miles) is not to be missed and provides a beautiful backdrop for a family photo.

Step through the front door into the spacious entrance hall. The superb kitchen is a keen cook’s dream and is equipped to cater for large parties with both an AGA and double electric oven and hob. Gather around the large table in the formal dining room and linger over supper late into the evening. After a long day of outdoor activities, light the wood burner in the main lounge and sink into one of the inviting sofas for a cosy evening of conversation. There’s a second lounge with another wood burner where you can watch a family film on the TV. The first of the comfortable bedrooms is on this floor, a bright and airy twin bedroom with en-suite shower. Heading upstairs, you will find five bedrooms leading off from the galleried landing with reading nook. All the bedrooms are well-appointed with luxurious linens and stylish soft furnishings. There are two king-size bedrooms, both with en-suite shower rooms, and three twin bedrooms, one of which boasts a daybed that can accommodate an additional guest. A generous family bathroom completes the accommodation. Outside, the property is surrounded by large gardens, including a lawn with a croquet area, patio area with fire pit and BBQ grill. Enjoy a soak under the stars in the private hot tub. There is ample parking.

A lovely house, suitable for different family groups, ages, interests, with space to spread out, and rooms big enough to come together. Well appointed kitchen and lots of crockery, glassware etc made entertaining easy

A pleasant cottage in a good location. The hot tub was very enjoyable and was used more frequently than anticipated. It had a well appointed kitchen with more than enough crockery and glassware. The only real downside is that because of the cottages thick walls Wi-Fi is only available in a small part of the cottage.

Wow what a place, 11 of us stayed here for a week, it's such a stunning house and setting. I would highly recommend a stay in the Whitelady House, it had everything you need and more, the hot tub was fantastic after a walk across the moors. Lovely people who own it too. This holiday has definitely made us want to spend more time on Dartmoor.

Just back from a wonderful week. Spacious, well equipped accommodation. Hot tub, games barn were particular favourites with our extended family group. Having two living rooms was very useful. Pleasantly surprised at the size of the garden area. Had a lovely BBQ over the fire pit. Also had Sunday lunch at The Castle which was scrummy.

Excellent equipment throughout, particularly in the kitchen with everything you could require. Friendly owners who provide lots of details for local shops, pubs etc. House was exactly as described and couldn't have had a better experience with my group in Devon.
