Carpenter’s Cottage is a charming, characterful retreat nestled in the heart of Hatherleigh, Devon. Perfect for couples or solo travellers, this delightful 200-year-old listed cottage features a toasty open fire, and convenient roadside parking, an ideal base for exploring the spectacular Dartmoor National Park, which is just 15 minutes’ drive away. Step inside to find an inviting living room with exposed beams and a warming open fire, ideal for cosy evenings after a day on the moors.

There is a rare gem in such a central location, offering a tranquil spot to enjoy your morning coffee or wind down with a drink as the sun sets. Upstairs, via a staircase that’s narrow in parts and therefore not suitable for guests with limited mobility, you’ll find a charming reading nook with a fold-down desk, ideal for writing or working while travelling. There’s also a shower room and a beamed double bedroom with original floorboards, adding to the cottage’s unique character. Each November, the town hosts Hatherleigh Carnival which see flaming tar barrels hauled through the streets attracting visitors from far and wide; however there can be associated late night noise and fireworks for those with nervous pets. Every July the town celebrates the Hatherleigh Festival which combines a celebration of music, arts and crafts; there is something for everyone with venues hosting live music and the streets boast an array of stalls selling fresh produce. The nearby town of Okehampton offers a range of shops, pubs, and restaurants, and lies within easy reach of the cottage. Dartmoor National Park is yours to explore, renowned for its rugged beauty, peaceful villages, and abundant wildlife. Discover the historic Okehampton Castle, one of the oldest stone castles in England, and the fascinating Castle Drogo – the last stately home built in Britain – perched over a stunning river valley. A little further afield, the cathedral city of Exeter is well worth a visit – why not park and ride at the newly reopened Okehampton station and let the popular Dartmoor line take the strain. Meanwhile for sea lovers, the surf-friendly beaches of Bude are only 40 minutes’ drive away. Carpenter’s Cottage is a charming base for those looking to unwind and explore the beautiful north Devon countryside.
