Welcome to Rowbrook House
Poundsgate, Dartmoor National Park, Devon - Sleeps 8 + cot
Built in the early 1900's, as a country gentleman's residence in the Arts and Crafts Style, Rowbrook House occupies one of the most stunning positions in the West Country. The house faces South and overlooks the valley of the River Dart, 350 feet below. From the terrace there is no sign of human habitation but the surrounding hills and ancient woods contain a wealth of wildlife. There is direct access from the garden to the Moor below, and thence to the river.
This is an immensely peaceful place, yet is within five minutes' drive of Poundsgate with a good local pub and only 15 minutes away from a market town and the A38. Exeter, Plymouth and the coast are all about 45 minutes by road.
All the usual country activities can be arranged, including riding and guided walks (details from the owner). In particular there is good and varied game fishing nearby at very reasonable cost. Llama trekking and private falconry experience can also be arranged - pre-booking essential.
