About this property
This detached cottage is situated in the hills two miles from the Devon town of Chagford, in a rural spot within the 15 acre grounds of the owners' house. Comfortable and welcoming, it is a fine cottage for families or friends to enjoy. The porch and large hall lead through to the bright sitting room with its slate floor, wood burning stove and French windows giving splendid views to the moorland hill of Meldon and access to a little patio. The dining room also has French windows to the patio, where you can enjoy a barbecue. The large kitchen is well equipped, and you have a useful downstairs shower room. Upstairs (stairgates), three bedrooms, all with wood floors (rugs) - the 2 master doubles (5' bed) with en suite shower-room (suite) and a twin. Bathroom (bath and shower). The garden is enclosed and sheltered by a rhododendron hedge. From the cottage, head out on a twenty minute walk to the open moors, with its tors and ponies and sheep, and there are other lovely countryside walks from the door. Chagford offers a choice of shops and inns, as well as a seasonal outdoor pool and tennis courts, and the cathedral city of Exeter is just 17 miles away. Sandy beaches are a 20 mile drive. Yelfords Cottage is well located for walking on Dartmoor and exploring Devon.
A picturesque town at the northern point of Dartmoor National Park in Devon, Chagford is small in size but is packed with amenities and things to do. There is a wide range of shops as well as four pubs. Chagford also has more active facilities such as public tennis court and an open-air swimming pool to enjoy at your leisure.

Everything was provided. Super shower and kitchen which is well equipped. Mr & Mrs Caine are excellent hosts and nothing was too much trouble. Very comfortable and homely house. Would highly recommend staying there. Jane & Russell.

Itâs a beautiful property with outstanding views. It truly was home from home. Extremely comfortable and well equipped. Another week creating memories in one of our favourite parts of the country. It was perfect for our group of 4 adults and 2 well behaved dogs. If we wanted to be very picky, it would have been nice to have been provided with a couple more tea towels. Also availability to buy more logs there instead of having to buy them when we were out would have been great. We really enjoy walking from home so a special trip was required to collect more logs as we enjoyed the log burner in the evenings. Talking of local walks, there were two of us recovering from knee and foot surgery. The immediate area and the walks into Chagford involve some unavoidable long, steep, hills. I donât believe this was made clear on the listing and it may be too much for others who are looking forward to walking into the nearest town. We have holidayed with Sykes for many years now in the Lake District, The Peak District and in Dartmoor - this was one of the best properties we have stayed in. Thank you for making our week so special.
