Newton Abbot House | Chinkwell Tor barn near Widecombe in the Moor

3 Bedroom House in Newton Abbot, Widecombe in the Moor

A beautiful converted barn nestled in the rugged landscape of Dartmoor National Park. With three double rooms and two bathrooms there is plenty of room and the large lounge/ kitchen-dining area has a log burner and a range cooker to help keep you cosy (as well as central heating).
Please note Chinkwell is a little off grid. Powered by a combination of solar power and a generator; you cannot charge electric vehicles.
This is a peaceful and restful place to stay with excellent walking from the doorstep. There are views of the Tors and you can walk to both Hay Tor and Hound Tor as well as a nearby Clapper bridge and the deserted remains of a medieval settlement. A green lane leads down towards nearby pastureland where you are likely to see Dartmoor ponies. Nearby Widecombe-In-The- Moor, famed for its annual fair has two pubs and some of the best tea rooms in Dartmoor.
Come and fall in love with the dramatic Dartmoor landscape in all seasons, enjoy seeing the carpet of bluebells in Spring, visits to the nearby coast in Summer, and snuggling up in front of the log burner with a cup of cocoa after a bracing Autumn or Winter walk.
The kitchen is well equipped with everything that you might need to prepare a meal, plus a range cooking guide. There is a fridge-freezer, dish washer, and washing machine/ dryer.
The lounge has a large log burner (logs are provided) and a television with a choice of DVDs to watch as well as books, magazines and board games.

Summary: Great accommodation in great location
Hannah R. Oct 10, 2024 03:14:39 AM
Summary: This is our second long weekend stay at Chinkwell and once again we had a wonderful time. My kids and I love Dartmoor and we wanted to show the grandparents why we like it so much, it did not disappoint! Chinkwell is the perfect location for walks and exploring Tors including Hound and Haytor. As a family we love bouldering and this is an ideal base. The house has a lovely cosy feel but is spacious at the same time. The lounge/kitchen is a warm sociable space to chill after a day on the moors. The bedrooms are generous in size and perfect for our family. The welcome basket with local gin and beer was a nice surprise on arrival, thank you! Rebekah is really helpful and responds quickly to any questions. Thank you very much for sharing Chinkwell.

Summary: Lovely open plan living area with views on to Haytor. Direct access onto pathways for walking through wetlands and up onto the open moor.

Summary: Super location, absolutely stunning, and on our doorstep.
Claire D. Feb 13, 2024 12:54:48 AM
Summary: Gorgeous barn conversion. Extremely comfortable and cosy. Exceptional views of Dartmoor all around. We had an excellent few days at Chinkwell Tor cottage and felt so at home from the moment we stepped through the door. Very well equipped, warm, super-comfy beds and sofas. Walking routes straight from the cottage. Lovely pubs and cafe in Widecombe close by. Had a lovely time! Thank you.

Summary: The back path leads to great starting off point to walk the moor. We shopped in Ashburton. Very fun. The steak and ale pie @ the Rugglestone Inn was tasty. The Chinkwell Tor set the tone!

Summary: Lovely property in a brilliant location in Dartmoor - perfect for a family getaway. The house had plenty of room, and the views of the tors and moors were fantastic. Lots of local walks direct from the door. Really felt like you were in the heart of the moors!

Summary: Perfect base for long walks on the moor’s.
Joanna G. Oct 10, 2021 06:00:01 AM
Summary: The accommodation was comfortable and well laid out, but the owners need to do a lot of maintenance work. 1. The windows in the main reception room are filthy and the one in the kitchen is absolutely covered in bird muck. 2. A lot of the kitchen crockery needs to be replaced as many mugs are chipped or damaged. 3. The dishwasher door does not open fully, so brute force has to be used to open it far enough to fill it with plates etc. 4. Paint is peeling off the walls in many different rooms in the property such as the hallway and upstairs bathroom. There are holes in the wall beside the bed in the upstairs bedroom that ned to be re-plastered. 5. There are loose pieces of cement / plaster above the door to the reception. Small pieces fell onto us on two occasions, but fortunately did not injure us. The pictures of the outside of the property are extremely misleading as they create the impression that the property stands alone, when in fact it is part of a complex of properties, with several of them for rental. Had we known this, we would not have booked the property, but in the event our stay was peaceful. The picture of the garden area belonging to the property is also misleading and out of date. It should be replaced immediately. The lawned area shown in the picture in the property details belongs to an adjoining property. IT DOES NOT BELONG TO CHINKWELL TOR. Access to the small garden area that does belong to Chinkwell Tor is only accessed via some steep wooden steps - not at all suitable for dogs to negotiate. The property is comfortable and well laid out, but I hope that at the end of the main season, the owners can undertake the essential repairs and maintenance required .
