Is Huxham View And Annex Right For Your Group

Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

For Families
The rural setting offers space for children to play outdoors safely. Gardens provide room for games and activities.

Dartmoor offers adventure and exploration opportunities. The separate annex works well for families wanting children close but not sharing immediate sleeping quarters.
Groups Will Love...

Groups consistently rate this as their favourite amenity. The rural location means you can use it without overlooking neighbours. It's maintained exclusively for your party throughout the booking. The combination of hot water, countryside views and group conversation makes this feature worth the booking alone.
Pet Friendly
Dogs are welcome at Huxham View and Annex. The rural location provides excellent walking opportunities straight from the door. Gardens offer secure outdoor space for pets to roam safely.
