About this property

Family-friendly, centrally placed for all parts of Devon, unspoilt countryside

BLUEBELLS - a unique opportunity to stay in one of three really cosy log cabins at Highampton which lies between Hatherleigh and Holsworthy. Our lodges are constructed from 8" pine logs and are exceptionally warm and welcoming. We offer clean, comfortable accommodation that has views which are absolutely fantastic - right across miles of beautiful Devon countryside to Dartmoor in the distance. South facing with undercover patio. Parking on your own driveway alongside your lodge and garden area for your picnics or for the children to play in. Our lodges are fully furnished for up to four people and are centrally placed for both the north and south coasts of Devon, and for the North Cornwall Coast - Widemouth Bay and Bude being particular favourites.
Holiday for 7/14 nights or take a short break - our lodges take 4 people comfortably in a main bedroom with a king-size bed (new mattress 2022) and two twins in the second bedroom.

Please note the lodges and site are not really suitable for very young children so no-one under the age of 4 please unless it's been agreed beforehand.

The recently updated kitchen has a dishwasher, tall fridge/ freezer, electric oven with ceramic hob and a microwave and in the lounge there's a large smart TV and recently upgraded superfast Wi-Fi throughout. The recently renovated shower room has an electric shower and the water is mains, so no problem with pressure! There are heaters in all rooms and a log/coal burner in the living area.
The veranda is secure and provides some useful additional space for outdoor dining with great views.
Superfast Wi-Fi, toy box with games for young children and a table-tennis table, badminton net and swing-ball with equipment. The village of Hatherleigh is about 4 miles away with a good selection of cafes and shops. There's also pubs, supermarket + skatepark.
The lodges face south towards Dartmoor - with absolutely fantastic views. See our website for more photographs and details.

Highampton is a small village situated in Ruby country with it’s fantastic selection of trails for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. The village of Hatherleigh is about 4 miles away and has a good selection of cafes and shops. There’s also pubs, supermarket and a new skatepark. The bustling town of Okehampton is a further 7 miles away. In the opposite direction about 7 miles away lies the pretty market town of Holsworthy with the beautiful beaches of Bude a further 9 miles away.

We are centrally places for all parts of Devon and Cornwall. The area is one of peace and tranquillity, so if it's a quiet base you want for your holiday, then Dartmoor View Lodges is the place to be.

Highampton is a small village with a pub, village hall, school and visiting post-office.

Hatherleigh and Holsworthy are larger and have all the amenities you need. Our site is quiet and tranquil and wildlife is plentiful. In the early morning it is quite possible that you will see deer grazing and there are usually a lot of rabbits around and foxes pay the occasional visit. Birds thrive and we regularly see woodpeckers, tree creepers and buzzards even occasionally a kingfisher. Butterflies are also attracted by the many wild flowers that emerge in the spring. Bats feeding at dusk are a common sight and we enjoy black skies due to very little light pollution - great for stargazing.

Beautiful log cabin
We had a great holiday, started with Andrew showing us to the log cabin to give us a quick run down of the lodge and supporting documentation, which we found really useful. Andrew then left stating if we needed any help with anything do not hesitate to call. The lodge was the cleanest and best equipped that we have ever stayed in, everything has been thought of. Views are amazing and wildlife abounds from birds to rabbits don’t forget to look out for the bats at dusk. Centrally based so easy access to the north and the south coasts and all that offers. Thanks again to Andrew and Sally for the opportunity to stay at such a great location.

A little piece of heaven
The host Andrew met us and was lovely and welcoming. The lodge itself was just perfect, everywhere was spotless and it was so well equipped with high quality items. The beds were comfortable, the views to die for and I really cannot think of any negatives. We will definitely be back and I can recommend this lodge to anyone to stay in. Perfect

Fantastic location
Brilliant two-week holiday with very welcoming hosts and perfect accomodation. Great location for cycling as a family on various off-road cycle paths in the local area (Tarka Trail, Granite Way) which it turned out was a great alternative activity to the beach on many days, especially in very hot July weather. Recommend the cycling cafe on the Tarka Trail at East Yarde. Sandymouth Bay became a favourite beach. Thank you for a great stay.

The perfect getaway
Wonderful log cabin in a stunning setting - the perfect way to relax and unwind! Location was brilliant for exploring both Devon and Cornwall, with both moorland and coast within easy reach. Easy to find thanks to the great directions from the owners, who were also super helpful on arrival. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable stay - I'm sure we'll be back!

Brilliant week, beautiful surroundings, great hosts
We have just spent a week at Bluebells lodge and what a wonderful time we had there with the kids. The view was amazing and the place nice and quiet (at least until the kids got going) It was exactly what we wanted and a perfect get away for the week. Andrew and Sally (along with Pippa and Elsa) were also lovely and helped to make our stay a special time away with the family. Highly recommended and definitely a place to go back to.

Beautiful location, comfortable accommodation. Perfect
It was the first time we have been away without the children in 22 years so were looking forward to a relaxing time. The location is away from the main road so was very quiet in the evenings. The cabin overlooks Dartmoor and there is plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. The facilities in the cabin were excellent and Andrew (the owner) was very helpful. Would definitely visit again.

Delightful
A great place to stay for peace and quiet. Andrew & Sally so welcoming and helpful. Bluebells extremely well equipped and everything of high quality. The property was spotlessly clean inside and out. The bedding and towels again a very high quality and spotlessly clean. We loved sitting outside watching the Owners' horses graze in the adjacent field. A delightful place to stay and we would highly recommend Bluebells to people of all ages.

Relaxing stay within stunning Dartmoor
After a 5 hour car journey we were met by Andrew who welcomed us to our Brambles lodge which was home for the next 4 days. The lodge was immaculately clean, comfortable and cosy with the addition of the log burner. The outside seating area and the fact that there are only 3 lodges on the site allowed us to relax and take in the stunning views of Dartmoor from the privacy of our lodge. The coast only being a 30 min drive made it a prefect location for a base camp to go exploring. The hosts were very helpful - at the end of the phone at all times. We will most definitely be returning. Thanks to Andrew and family for ensuring that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. If you're looking for a relaxing break would definitely recommend a stay here! Thanks, Charlie & Girls :-)

Great place to get away from it all
The lodges are set in a fantastic location and are clean, well maintained & comfortable. The combination of outside & covered seating with their views over Dartmoor make the perfect place for relaxing. Having only 3 lodges on the site is just right giving plenty of space for my 2 year old to explore, they even have a toy box on site making it perfect for families. With easy drives to the beach and other local destinations and Andrew & Sally being very welcoming hosts. we will definitely keep this on our short list for future holidays.

Prachtige omgeving
Wat een prachtige omgeving! Heerlijk comfortabel huis, van alle gemakken voorzien. Het beste uitzicht ooit. Warm ontvangst door Andrew en Sally. De paarden waren er helaas niet, maar dat mocht de pret niet drukken. Er is in de omgeving genoeg te doen, ook voor kinderen. Als je van rust en natuur houdt is dit de perfecte omgeving. Ik hoop er ooit weer terug te komen.

Wunderbar
Wir haben in diesem Blockhaus 9 Nächte verbracht und uns wirklich sehr wohl gefühlt - es ist unglaublich gemütlich und sehr gut in Schuss. Der Ausblick ist herrlich, es ist ruhig und auch unseren Kindern hat es sehr gut gefallen. Es gibt ein paar Spielsachen, Tischtennisplatte usw., die Vermieter Sally und Andrew sind sehr sympathisch. Die Lage ist gut - man hat es nicht weit ans Meer und auch im Dartmoor, das schon vom Haus aus zu sehen ist, ist man gleich. Die Landschaft dort ist fantastisch und wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Dieses Ferienhaus können wir wirklich empfehlen - vielen Dank an die Walkers!
