Luxury self-catering accommodation in Ashburton

Whether romantic adventurers or thrill-seeking families, Ashburton’s position tucked on the rugged southern-east edge of Dartmoor National Park offers the perfect base for self-catering holidays. This small Devonshire town is home to independent shops, trendy galleries, and delectable eateries including one of the most ancient pubs in Britain, The Old Exeter Inn. The town’s trade history dates back to the middle ages, famously named as one of just four stannary towns at the height of the booming tin trade. A refuge on rainy days, the cathedral city of Exeter is a 30-minute trip away, with a patchwork of buildings lining the streets and secret misshapen alleys leading to eclectic shopping hubs.

For those who truly want to experience Dartmoor’s exceptional beauty, activities such as walking, canoeing and pony trekking across its picturesque terrain are highly encouraged. A short drive from Ashburton, the impressive Becky Falls tumbles over 70ft before crashing over granite boulders and onwards downstream to meet the Bovey Valley. If it's a quintessential seaside escape you're looking for, Torquay, fondly known as The English Riviera, is just a 40-minute drive away and encompasses all things British for bucket and spade days spent on the coast with the family.
