About Warcleave Cottage

Hide away from urban life in this secluded woodland retreat. From its elevated balcony you’ll be able to step out into the heart of the wooded landscape and gaze over the tree-tops and the gushing River Teign at the bottom of the garden. 

Large windows create a bright and airy space inside its open-plan living and dining area. The kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms are all located on the same floor.

Based in Dartmoor National Park, Warcleave Cottage is ideal for those after a wild and rugged walking holiday. From here you’ll be able to follow walking trails through the park, where you may even catch a glimpse of Dartmoor’s famed native ponies wondering across the moors. The Mediterranean-esque coastline of South Devon is less than an hours’ drive.
