Clifford Barton Holiday Cottages - 2 bedroom cottage (sleeps 5) nestled in the heart of the beautiful wooded Teign Valley on Dartmoor - next to National Trust's Fingle Woods (850 hectares of footpaths, wildlife haven, mountain biking), set in 50 acres private nature reserve with 2 acre lake. Private fenced garden. Great location for kids and adults for walking, cycling, wild swimming, golfing and fishing.
We enjoyed a week at Mardon with our two young children and found the house comfortable with all we needed. We loved walking down to the lake and watching the tadpoles and birds, and cycling through the woods along the river spotting big beetles and a slow worm. Vicki and her husband helped us get settled with bikes (our kids loved the trailer!) and recommended some local places to visit/eat at, which we really appreciated. The house was great for a family stay and it was helpful being able to have a food shop delivered. It was such an easy, relaxing week and we'd love to return!
