The crunch of gravel underfoot, the creak of a farmhouse door, and suddenly you're stepping into a proper Devonshire welcome — all thick walls and the smell of toast drifting from the kitchen.
This is one for couples after a cosy bolt-hole or walkers who've had enough of wrestling tent pegs in the wind. The guest house sits alongside camping pods, so you've got a choice between a proper bed with a hot shower down the hall or something a bit more adventurous outside. Dog owners should ask ahead — some rooms or pods might welcome your four-legged mate, others won't.
Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so it's worth ringing before you book to check what's what. Campfires are a "check when you arrive" situation — probably depends on the season and how dry it's been. Open all year, which makes it a solid option for those bleak February weekends when most campsites are shut and you just need somewhere warm to collapse after a muddy Dartmoor trudge. Homely rather than fancy, and none the worse for it.
