The Bakehouse
Description
Between Throwleigh (1 mile) and Gidleigh (1 mile), a beautifully renovated, late medieval cottage sheltered by oak trees. It has a well restored barn attached and faces south over its own neat, walled garden where you can sit in the sun and listen to bees, birdsong and the occasional cluck or honk of the friendly owners’ chickens and geese. The owners run the farm, where cattle, sheep and ponies are grazed, and the cottage is part of the historic group of farm buildings with its ancient farmhouse. Inside, smart with slate floors downstairs and beautiful oak floors upstairs. Hall. Step down to compact living/dining/kitchen (microwave, fridge, gas hob/electric oven) with granite worktops, folding dining table/chairs, huge fireplace (woodburner), TV/DVD and door (5'3" lintel) to small garden. Shower-room (suite, big cubicle). Washer-drier in cupboard. Stairs up to two bedrooms (limited clothes-hanging space) - step down to a roomy double (5' bed, TV) with handsome roof timbers and original ancient stairs down to the living room (you don’t need to use them), and a twin (2'6" beds, linkable to 5' double). Spring water. A lovely retreat with wonderful walking directly on to the moors from your doorstep; abundant wildlife and moorland archaeology.
Gidleigh: pretty hamlet with 16th cent. church and castle (in private grounds), 2 miles from Chagford, ¾ mile from the open moor (short walk to fine prehistoric stone circle and a lovely stretch of the North Teign River - swimming), and on the beautiful Mariners’ Way footpath.

What guests are saying
Wonderful accommodation, under floor heating as well as wood burning stove.
5 star wi fi, I was very surprised. Tv ‘s in lounge and bedroom, excellent reception. To locate this Bakehouse use the instructions that have been provided, do NOT use sat nav, it will take you down very narrow lanes. The local pub Northmore Arms is interesting!
We loved our stay at the Bakehouse, the property is hidden away and very peaceful.
It borders the moor, and feels like a very special spot. The accommodation is very well designed and allowed our family of four, with 2 young kids, to be very comfortable. Rachel and Allan are excellent hosts. We would highly recommend The Bakehouse.
Lovely location, fantastic quirky but comfortable accommodation and to top it off, a friendly host.
Highly recommended.
