Longlands, Dartmoor

Relax | Restore | Rescue

A memorable retreat for the whole family, those with four paws included!
Take a trip back in time, to a place where everything slows down. A place where the TV becomes secondary to the stunning view, and the walks take you to places of ancient wonders. Longlands, has been welcoming visitors for over 1000 years, and now is open to all those wishing to experience the picturesque lifestyle of a Dartmoor Village, including a friendly pub just a short walk away.
We have options suiting all types of getaways, from the quaint Dairy (the perfect way to reconnect with your other half) to the stunning Longhouse, previous home of famous artists and designers (and with a fully fenced private garden). You could even rent all three cottages together to celebrate an upcoming wedding, hen party or family reunion.
Whatever reason Dartmoor is calling you, your family and your dogs, Longlands can be here to make your stay more memorable.
OUR COTTAGES
Three of the cottages are in one old stone building, and were converted from the original barn, dairy and hay loft, later used as a potters cottage, workshop and kilns. There is a shared outside area with outdoor seating and BBQ. The fourth one is away from the others and is a detached long house, formerly the home of the famous shoe maker, Oliver Sweeney.
