Dartmoor - Budleigh Farm

Description of Dartmoor - Budleigh Farm: Our properties have been thoughtfully designed from distinctive stone barns originally built in the 1870s. With modern comfort, whatever the weather, we guarantee you will be warm and cosy. On the sporting side, visitors can play table tennis or safely swim in our well-maintained heated outdoor pool, which is in use during the summer months. Dartmoor National Park is on our doorstep and offers endless opportunities for walkers and cyclists. Walkers can join our local ramblers club on regular outings: its members are very welcoming to visitors. There are self-guided town and country trails to follow. Budleigh also has facilities for archery and is a centre of excellence for target shooting. At Budleigh Farm sheep graze over 60 acres of pasture, while our woodland is home to buzzards, squirrels, badgers and foxes. Listen to the owls at night. In spring, snowdrops and daffodils fill the valley then later bluebells carpet the woods. Dartmoor is a haven for wildlife. Our local small town, half a mile away, is a busy community with an interesting mix of people, shops and trades. Artists and craftsmen exhibit in small galleries. There is a range of pubs and cafes in the town, traditional shops, a first class butcher and delicatessen and a small supermarket with long opening hours. There are great gardens to visit in the area, and closer to home you can enjoy a barbecue or just sit and read in Budleigh’s own gardens. The closest beach is about 18 miles away, but as Moretonhampstead is in the middle of Devon, both north and south Devon beaches are not too far distant. Bus services leave Moretonhampstead for Exeter and Newton Abbot. You can hop on and off the Newton Abbot bus at the bottom of our drive. An open top double decker travels across Dartmoor to Plymouth in summer �" it’s the best way to view the moor. Cars and bicycles can be left on the farm in complete safety.
