About this property

Ilsington 3.4 miles. Nestled within the stunning surroundings of the Dartmoor National Park in Manaton near Ilsington, discover this beautifully presented one-bedroom cottage, Beckaford View. Carefully designed to maximise space and light, the property features an open-plan living space with high-reaching windows and stunning views of the countryside, a woodburning stove and pet-friendly living, Beckaford View welcomes two guests, perfect for a couples’ retreat in Devon. After unloading in the off-road parking spot, cross the threshold into your new abode ready to kick back and relax in front of the roaring woodburner as your other half rustles up a tasty dish in the well-equipped kitchen to be enjoyed at the breakfast bar. If you prefer to dine alfresco, venture out to a peaceful outdoor area and recline on the garden furniture, soaking in the magnificent view. When the stars appear overhead, wash away the day in a stylish ground-floor shower room before retreating to the mezzanine-floor double bedroom to catch your rest. This level features a glass divide offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside so you can awake each day to the Dartmoor scenery. Kickstart your itinerary at the Hound Tor Deserted Medieval Village, the perfect place to explore atmospheric remains and delight in a picnic; be sure to also visit Haytor Rocks Dartmoor which offers spectacular views across Dartmoor and South Devon. Becky Falls is less than a mile away: offering acres of dog friendly woodland trails, a cafe and of course the spectacular waterfalls. In Ilsington, you will find both a village shop and a pub, where you can stock up on the essentials or treat your other half to some hearty fare on the days you don’t feel like cooking; alternatively, spend the day in the bustling city of Exeter, boasting a wide array of shopping and eating opportunities, in addition to Exeter Cathedral, Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery and The Medieval Exe Bridge. Well-positioned to uncover the delights of Torquay including Torquay Museum, Torquay Beach and Torquay Golf Course. Whisk your other half away on a romantic retreat to Beckaford View.

On the eastern side of Dartmoor in Devon, England, lies the village and civil parish of Ilsington. You are in a prime location to see everything this lovely region has to offer because you are near to the market town of Newton Abbot and only about 15 miles from the coastal resort of Torquay. Explore the vibrant market towns, charming historical buildings, and quaint, peaceful villages that make up the Dartmoor National Park. The community has a store, post office, and neighbourhood bar for your immediate needs, but Newton Abbot has a wider selection of stores, pubs, restaurants, supermarkets, and cafés to browse. Enjoy the award-winning Devonshire cream tea with fresh scones and strawberry jam at the Ilsington country house hotel and spa. A charming community situated on the outskirts of the Dartmoor National Park.
