Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
This special cottage is situated in the grounds of author Doris Lessing's Devon longhouse and has been lovingly renovated to provide stylish, comfortable accommodation. It is situated in a secluded spot on the moors yet close to essential amenities and the quaint village of Belstone boasts a cosy pub, a delicious tea room and fantastic walks. Heated by a biomass boiler it retains many original features such as a large flagstoned hallway and original fireplace.
