Nestled in the heart of Sticklepath, a picturesque Devon village on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, Primula House makes the perfect base for both relaxation and adventure. Scenic trails lead directly from the village into Dartmoor’s wild landscapes, while the famous Tarka Trail offers excellent cycling nearby. History lovers can visit Finch Foundry, a remarkable 19th-century water-powered forge with direct ties to Primula House through the leat, or explore the Museum of Dartmoor Life in Okehampton. Sticklepath also boasts traditional country pubs within easy strolling distance, serving hearty local food and ales. Just a short drive away, the vibrant towns of Chagford and Okehampton offer independent shops, cafés, and farmers’ markets. For day trips, the dramatic North Devon coast promises breath-taking beaches and coastal walks, while Exeter’s historic cathedral city and lively shopping streets are within easy reach.

    It was a great experience to stay in a grade 2 listed monument with traditional English furnishings. We saw that a lot was done to make it a comfortable house to rent. Some TLC is still needed but nothing, we noticed, that affected our great experience. We mostly lived in the kitchen/sunroom which is a very nice place to be in. It is just a few yards to the local pub and tearoom which we used frequently. The tearoom also sells bread from the Okehampton bakery and some vegetables/fruit. You don't need to go anywhere for the basics. Sticklepath is a lovely little town and makes a perfect base for exploring Dartmoor and surrounding.
