The Dartmoor Hideaway

Welcome to The Dartmoor Hideaway



Escape to the heart of Dartmoor and discover The Dartmoor Hideaway, a charming countryside retreat surrounded by some of Devon's most spectacular scenery. Nestled between the iconic tors of Haytor and Hound Tor, this welcoming holiday cottage offers the perfect base for exploring the rugged beauty, rich history and peaceful landscapes of Dartmoor National Park.



The Dartmoor Hideaway is one of the beautifully converted barns that make up Holwell Cottages, a collection of characterful holiday retreats created from the original buildings of historic Holwell Farm. Once a traditional working farm, the buildings have been thoughtfully transformed into comfortable holiday accommodation while retaining much of their original charm and connection to the surrounding countryside. Each cottage is named after one of Dartmoor's famous tors, celebrating the area's unique heritage and spectacular natural beauty.



Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, an outdoor adventure, a family holiday or a relaxing break with your four-legged companion, The Dartmoor Hideaway provides a peaceful home from which to experience everything Dartmoor has to offer. Wake to birdsong and fresh moorland air, spend your days exploring ancient landscapes and picturesque villages, then return to the comfort and tranquillity of your countryside retreat.



The surrounding area is a paradise for walkers, cyclists, nature lovers and photographers. Within minutes, you can be standing atop the dramatic granite outcrops of Hound Tor, exploring the sweeping views from Haytor, or wandering through ancient woodland trails and hidden valleys. Dartmoor's famous open moorland is home to free roaming ponies, grazing sheep and an abundance of wildlife, creating an unforgettable landscape that changes with every season.



History is woven into every corner of Dartmoor. From prehistoric stone circles and ancient burial sites to medieval settlements and centuries-old bridges, the National Park offers endless opportunities to step back in time. Nearby Hound Tor is home to one of Dartmoor's best-preserved medieval villages, while countless local legends and folklore add to the area's unique character and charm.



The charming village of Widecombe-in-the-Moor is just a short drive away and offers traditional country pubs, independent shops and a warm Dartmoor welcome. Venture a little further and you'll discover bustling market towns, family attractions, stunning gardens and the beautiful South Devon coastline, where sandy beaches and picturesque harbours await.



One of the greatest pleasures of staying at The Dartmoor Hideaway is simply slowing down and embracing the pace of life on the moor. Enjoy a morning coffee while planning the day's adventures, watch the changing light sweep across the hills, and spend evenings relaxing beneath Dartmoor's famous dark skies. Far from the noise and distractions of everyday life, this is a place to reconnect with nature, recharge and create lasting memories.



Whether you're here to hike the tors, discover hidden gems, enjoy local food and drink or simply unwind in beautiful surroundings, The Dartmoor Hideaway offers a truly memorable stay in one of England's most treasured landscapes.
