The open-air heated pool has lovely views from the terrace.

Didworthy House is found in the hamlet of the same name, deep within the Dartmoor National Park, in an outstandingly beautiful area. Set in gorgeous grounds with several sheltered hidden spots, this is an elegant Victorian house with extensive views to the high moors beyond. In two wings of the main house (to the left in the photograph), the three apartments are arranged around a small inner courtyard. From the moment you arrive to find a mouth-watering cream tea on the table, your welcome is assured. The Owners do their best to make sure you have a wonderful holiday, from arranging delivery of fresh organic vegetable boxes and free-range eggs (at cost), to numerous other activities available locally – horse riding, fishing, golf, cycling or walking the moors. Another attraction is the outdoor heated swimming pool available to guests (between 10am to 12pm and 4pm to 6pm) from the end of April until mid-September (please supervise children at all times). Close to the market town of Totnes and only a short drive from the beaches of south Devon, these lovely apartments have something to offer all ages and tastes.
