England's youngest castle, designed by Lutyens and built of Dartmoor granite with all the mod-cons of the 1920's. At 300 metres high, it catches the wildest of Dartmoor's weather. Try a spot of croquet on the croquet lawn or amble through the garden and miles of walks in the Teign Gorge.
A welcoming pub in a lovely little Dartmoor village, with a bar, restaurant and family room, good British pub menu with children's options and a Sunday carvery.
A welcome stop following a Teign River ramble - a pot of tea is just what is called for! Although a pub, restaurant and function room, as well as riverbank-based activities cater for everyone's needs.
One of the great gateways to Dartmoor and a pretty market town, Moretonhampstead is surrounded by jaw-droppingly lovely countryside. Once you've exhausted yourself hiking, biking, riding or climbing around the wilds of Dartmoor, you'll find Moretonhampstead the perfect place to rejuvenate with great pub and café food. The village is utterly unspoilt; friendly locals and a tranquil atmosphere make it impossible to resist.
An elegant award wining restaurant with an impressive wine cellar. Serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and afternoon tea this is a wonderful place to treat yourself.
While away a day angling for brown trout (permits available onsite), bird watching, picnicking or taking a stroll around the lake. There's also a designated trail for less able visitors with seats and information enroute, plus loos and parking.
A popular Inn with a great selection of real ales and a menu created using locally sourced ingredients. Full renovation took taken place following a devastating thatch fire in 2016 and the pub now has a fresh and modern feel.
Twenty-seven granite slabs form this ancient Bronze Age stone circle, which occupies a clearing about half a mile west of Fernworthy reservoir. Nearby are three stone rows and a couple of stone cairns.
A few years ago, the Classic Cottages team started writing about where we live and why we love it. Over time these have evolved into the Classic Guide.
