Welcome to Dartmoor Country Holidays, also known as Magpie Leisure Park!

Dartmoor Country Holidays evolved from Magpie Leisure Park which has been developed under the personal supervision of the Bidder family for over 80 years. The Park lies in a wonderful position on the western edge of the Dartmoor National Park — an area of great natural beauty.

We pride ourselves on the number of customers who come back to us year after year. Our holiday lodges continue to be more and more popular and early booking is recommended especially at peak times. The park is also very popular with our customers who enjoy the camping and touring caravan facilities.

So go on give it a try. We're sure you won't be disappointed and like most of our customers you'll be back year after year!

Excellent Accommodation in the Holiday Lodges

There is a choice of 4 Scandinavian wooden lodges to choose from when you stay at Dartmoor Country Holidays, accommodating from 2 to 7 persons. All lodges are constructed and finished to a high standard and were designed personally by the Bidder family to meet the needs of families and couples.

On one side of the park lie the Cedar and Cedar Plus lodges, overlooking the River Walkham and neighbouring fields, which can accommodate 4 and 6 persons respectively. Just across the park lie 2 genuine Finnish log houses nestling into the bank and trees, namely the Pine and IKI lodges. Pine accommodates 2 persons, ideal for a couple, with IKI accommodating 7 persons so that all the family and even the grandparents can holiday together.
