Vogwell Cottage
Manaton
           
      
                                             

This woodland cottage, nestling between Easden Hill and Hambledown provides a warm welcome and a tranquil base from which to explore a beautiful corner of Dartmoor.  Chagford, Moretonhampstead, Manaton and Widecombe in the Moor are all within four miles, while many South coast beaches can be reached within an hour, as can the Cathedral city of Exeter (glorious Cathedral, Northcott theatre, excellent shopping and good museum)

For walkers of all capabilities the moor is on your doorstep and we can either drop off or pick up those who want a long or challenging hike.  Pony trekking is available in Widecombe – or what about learning to fly a bird of prey? – also available locally.

Your bedroom is light and airy with windows on three sides and its own little bathroom.  You will find all you need to make tea and coffee, and comfy armchairs, but we hope you will make use of the sitting room downstairs, where, except during very hot weather you’ll  be able to relax by an open fire.  We do not have television, but we do have a set, with a good selection of videos and  D.V.D.s as well as board games and plenty of books.
We take great pride in the food we serve and you will always be consulted over the breakfast and dinner menus.  Our style is “lavish country”  with almost all ingredients sourced locally and seasonally.   Don’t come here for strawberries in December or pheasant in April!   I (Christina ) adore cooking and  am sure you will enjoy some memorable meals with us.  However, if you want a night out there are some good pubs and one or two really excellent restaurants within a few miles.
