Hartwell – large house in Devon (with pool May-Oct)

About the Property

Hartwell is a 19th century former farmhouse in Sydenham Damerel near to Tavistock in Devon. It’s located just 10 minutes drive from the edge of Dartmoor and 5 minutes from the Cornish border.

The house comfortably sleeps 10 people in 5 bedrooms and is available for weekly holiday rentals or short breaks. (Discounts are available for off-peak under occupancy – up to 4 people).

There’s a welcoming kitchen with a cosy Rayburn and big farmhouse table for family meals, plus 2 living rooms, each with a wood burning stove. Furniture is mostly antique or older style.

The large garden has several different areas to explore, play, dine or snooze! These include a 1 acre meadow with room for the family to let off some steam, a smaller enclosed garden with lawn and patio for outside dining, a parterre fruit garden, a hammock by the fishpond, and the ‘sun trap’ area around a gorgeous 10 x 5m heated outdoor swimming pool. The pool is included with all bookings between May and October. 

Hartwell is an ideal location to stay put and relax, or to base yourself while you explore the many delights of Devon and Cornwall.

Prices start at £840 for a 3 night off-peak break or £1200 for a week, through to £2500 for a week during the summer holidays. (Which based on 10 people staying is £36 per person per night, peak rates, for a big house with an exclusive pool!)
