Chagford is an easy 4 miles from the main A30 and Gidleigh Park is a further short 5 minute drive from the village.
Much of Dartmoor is remote so if you are looking to explore comprehensively and get to the coast then a car is a must. Either bring your own or hire one at Exeter St David's Station if you arrive by train. We can recommend a car hire company.
Alternatively, you can simply take a taxi from the station at Exeter and spend your time here exploring on foot. Chagford is a beautiful 20-25 minute walk or 5 minute drive from the house.

Howard D. Oct 15, 2024 04:25:54 PM
Summary: Really enjoyed out time at One Gidleigh Park, the property was immaculate throughout and very well equipped with everything being of high quality and exactly as represented by the photos. The gardens surrounding the cottage are very nice and well maintained and at the rear of the property blend into some dense and very steep woodland facilitating the sighting of various forms Devonian wildlife from time to time including a lost army patrol who had got lost in the woods on night-time manoeuvres and made their way through the garden trying to find their way back to a road 😆 The location is exceptionally quiet and private being at the end of a mile long single track road that terminates at the luxury Gidleigh Park Hotel. Many walks start or emanate close to the cottage and access to Dartmoor and the surrounding countryside is good. The nearby village of Chagford is very quaint with several nice pubs and some interesting shops. Be wary though if you are a nervous driver, many of the roads in the area are single track with some steep gradients! Communication with the host was polite and responsive and the only slight negative for us was that you cannot control the heating yourself. If you want to change the temperature you have to ask the host who will change it remotely - not ideal, but not enough of a niggle that we would not come back. On the whole highly recommended if you want a quiet peaceful break in an outstanding location.

Summary: What a beautiful place to stay. So tranquil and the ultimate place to relax. The property inside and out has such a high level of finish and looked after so well. Look out for the deer in the forest behind - such a treat. Will definitely be booking again.
Nicola P. Sep 17, 2023 01:18:26 AM
Summary: The house is down a peaceful lane and is very private. The garden is beautiful with a hill view at the front and it backs on to woods. Deer, owls and beautiful night skies. Inside, the living area and beds are very comfortable, there are luxurious showers and a huge modern kitchen. The owner Adam was very thoughtful and helpful at all times. We highly recommend One Gidleigh Park.

Summary: One Gidleigh Park was the perfect place for my wife and I (plus our four-legged companion) to have a relaxing week away. Once there, the car hardly moved and we spent our days walking and exploring the wonderful Dartmoor countryside, the local village (a 30 minute walk) of Chagford or just relaxing in the lovely garden (occasionally interrupted by deer wandering through). Afternoon tea at Gidleigh Park Hotel was a well earned treat after all the walking.

Summary: Our second visit to 1GP, and just as wonderful as the first time. A lovely welcome basket and stunning location allowed us to take a decent break from work and relax. Some great walks from the property and you have to try the Afternoon Tea at Gidleigh Park - just don't plan to eat dinner as well !
Jeremy W. Oct 2, 2021 06:30:57 PM
Summary: This was our second stay and everything was just as good as the first time. Everything spotless and working well. Such a wonderful location and beautiful walks straight from the door. Weather not so kind this time but it's a great house for hunkering down on a rainy afternoon.
Bianca C. Jul 14, 2021 01:33:07 PM
Summary: We had such a wonderful stay in this very special house. The house absorbs the stunning surroundings which consists of a very private, well kept garden with mature trees and beautiful flowers. You can faintly hear the nearby waterfalls when your in the garden, which is a blissful sound. It is immaculately clean and every detail is considered carefully. The kitchen is so well equipped with everything you need. It was exactly what we needed and we came home feeling very relaxed and refreshed after our stay. Thank you for the hamper on arrival, I was a huge fan of the red wine. I would highly recommend this property to anyone, especially if you have a dog as there are some wonderful walks on your doorstep and a helpful guide in the information pack gives you clear directions for walks that we would not have found ourselves. I did not want to go home. Thank you Adam for being such a great host xxx
Dave K. May 15, 2021 12:10:49 AM
Summary: This is a first class accommodation and everything about it oozes style. The interior has a homely feel with everything you could possibly need. The perfectly manicured garden and attached woods are a delightful bonus. The owners were on hand when required. Massive thank you for the break and definitely returning next year.
Nick F. Nov 17, 2020 08:00:01 AM
