What makes our Dartmoor holiday cottages special?
But the real magic of Lower Elsford Farm lies in its location. Step outside your Dartmoor holiday cottage and you’re immediately immersed in the stunning landscape of Dartmoor National Park. With miles of walking trails, rugged tors to climb and hidden valleys to discover, there’s no end to the adventures you can have. Pack a picnic and head off for a day of exploring, or follow one of the many family-friendly trails that crisscross the park. Keep an eye out for Dartmoor ponies, and don’t forget to visit some of the park’s iconic landmarks, like Hound Tor and Haytor Rocks.
If you fancy a change of scenery, there are plenty of attractions within easy reach of the farm. Take a trip to the historic town of Tavistock, with its charming pannier market and fascinating museum, or visit the impressive Buckland Abbey, once home to Sir Francis Drake. For a truly unique experience, head to the Dartmoor Zoological Park, where you can get up close to a variety of animals from around the world.
After a day of exploring, return to the comfort of your Dartmoor holiday cottage and enjoy a family meal together. Our kitchens are fully equipped with everything you need to cook up a feast, or if you fancy a night off, there are plenty of pubs and restaurants in the nearby villages serving delicious local food.
