The West Country / Devon region

Dartmoor National Park is the biggest and wildest area of open country in southern England. An area of outstanding natural beauty covering over 350 square miles, this breathtaking landscape is home to a huge variety of wildlife, and featured on television's 'Seven Natural Wonders' as the top natural wonder in the South West.

The entire area is rich in history and antiquities, hosting more ancient monuments and archaeological sites than anywhere else in Europe. Many traditional tales, folklore and ghost stories stem from this unique history.

The broader West Country is home to England's only natural UNESCO World Heritage Site: the Dorset and East Devon Coast, and Devon itself boasts two dramatic coastlines with many fantastic beaches for relaxation and water sports, complementing the mild climate of the area.

The Dartmoor / Ponsworthy area

Ponsworthy lies in the steep valley of the West Webburn river, about 2 miles from Widecombe-in-the-Moor, at the heart of Dartmoor National Park and with a small stream that flows across the road, that is often pictured in calenders and postcards. Fernhill Cottage is in the centre of the village.

Fernhill is the perfect base for family holidays or for friends to get together, allowing you to experience the wonders of Dartmoor through the many activities available nearby. Footpaths begin very close to the front door and lead all over the moor, and there are local opportunities for cycling, pony trekking, golf, fishing, climbing and lots more.

For something more leisurely, there are heritage sites and National Trust properties in the area, as well as farms and miniature pony sanctuaries. Across the moor, there are restaurants, pubs and cafés in which to sample the famous Devon cream tea, and a rich variety of shops selling local produce, arts and crafts.

Widecombe-in-the-Moor is best known for the annual Widecombe Fair, (held every September) immortalised by the folk song involving a grey mare and 'Old Uncle Tom Cobley and All'. The village is steeped in history and local legend, and has several gift shops (including a National Trust shop), and a couple of great pubs and cafés.

“Totally relaxing stay in a beautiful cottage.” Tucked away in the small hamlet of Ponsworthy this is an idyllic location if you want to get away from it all. The cottage is immaculate in every way and has every kitchen device to hand. The wood burner is lovely and the atmosphere in the cottage is just so peaceful and relaxing. So clean throughout. Cant recommend it enough.

“Superb Place To Stay” We have stayed at Fernhill Cottage on two occasions now - superb cottage to rent. It is really set up with comfort in mind for the guests! Great location. The cottage is equipped to a really high standard and it is really well managed - Rebecca and Team do an excellent job. Always responsive if you need their help or have questions. Can't wait to return!
