About this cabin rental

BUTTERCUPS - a unique opportunity to stay in one of three really cosy log cabins at Highampton which lies between Hatherleigh and Holsworthy. Our lodges are constructed from 8" pine logs and are exceptionally warm and welcoming. We offer clean, comfortable accommodation that has views which are absolutely fantastic - right across miles of beautiful Devon countryside to Dartmoor in the distance. South facing with undercover patio. Parking on your own driveway alongside your lodge and garden area for your picnics or for the children to play in. Our lodges are fully furnished for up to four people, and are centrally placed for both the north and south coasts of Devon, and for the North Cornwall Coast - Widemouth Bay and Bude being particular favourites.
Holiday for 7/14 nights or take a short break - our lodges take 4 people comfortably in a main bedroom with a double bed and two twins in the second bedroom.

The lodges and site do not really suit very young children so no-one under the age of 4 please unless it's been discussed and agreed.

The kitchen has an under-counter fridge and freezer, electric oven with ceramic hob and a microwave and in the lounge there's a large smart TV and recently upgraded superfast Wi-Fi throughout. The recently upgraded shower room has an electric shower and the water is mains, so no problem with pressure! There are heaters in all rooms and a log/coal burner in the living area. The veranda provides useful additional space and, if you have a dog, you can close the gate and enjoy outdoor dining in the knowledge that your dog is secure.
'Superfast' Wi-Fi, toy box with games for young children and a table-tennis table, badminton set and swing-ball with equipment. The village of Hatherleigh is about 4 miles away with a good selection of cafes and shops. There's also a couple of pubs, supermarket + skatepark.
The lodges face south towards Dartmoor - with absolutely fantastic views. See our website for more photographs and details.

Highampton is a small village with a pub which is situated in Ruby country with it’s fantastic selection of trails for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. The village of Hatherleigh is about 4 miles away and has a good selection of cafes and shops. There’s also pubs, supermarket and a new skatepark. The bustling town of Okehampton is a further 7 miles away. In the opposite direction about 7 miles away lies the pretty market town of Holsworthy with the beautiful beaches of Bude and Widemouth Bay a further 9 miles away.

We are centrally placed for all parts of Devon and Cornwall. The area is one of peace and tranquility, so if it's a quiet base you want for your holiday, then Dartmoor View Lodges is the place to be.

Highampton is a small village with a pub, school, village hall and visiting post office.

Hatherleigh and Holsworthy are larger and have all the amenities you need. Our site is quiet and tranquil and wildlife is plentiful. In the early morning it is quite possible that you will see deer grazing and there are usually a lot of rabbits around and foxes pay the occasional visit. Birds thrive and we regularly see woodpeckers, tree creepers and buzzards, at dusk the bats come out to feed. Butterflies are also attracted by the many wild flowers that emerge in the spring.

We're very lucky to enjoy really dark night skies, great for star-gazing, due to very little light pollution.

We had a lovely relaxing stay in Buttercup Lodge. The owners went above all our expectation, provided everything you could possibly need plus more. There are games inside and outside to occupy young to old. Will definately be going back.

We stayed at the Buttercups Lodge. It was a very comfortable stay and also very serene and peaceful. The location of the lodge is ideal for a family or couple who want to go exploring different parts of Devon and also a drive to Cornwall. The lodge has everything you need and the view of Dartmoor is absolutely breathtaking from it. Andrew and Sally were brilliant hosts and kept in communication with us whenever we needed it. Thankyou so much for our wonderful stay. My six year old didn't want to leave!! Have already recommended it the stay for family and friends.

We all thoroughly enjoyed a well needed break here for a week. The views and sunsets were lovely. We enjoyed eating outside for every single meal. The cabin was well equipped with everything we needed and very clean and tidy.
5.0 / 10.0·Oct 2020
We have just returned from a fantastic week staying at Dartmoor View*. We stayed in a very clean and comfortable wooden lodge that suited our needs perfectly. We used it as a base to visit various tourist locations in both Devon and Cornwall. It was ideal for this if you do not mind driving for an hour or so each way. The owners Andrew and Sally provided a fuss free welcome and were most helpful throughout our stay. Although I did not take my bike, I would say this would be a great base for cyclists who share my passion for road cycling. The only downside is that there were no shops within walking distance so stock up for a few days if you are not planning to eat out at the various pubs and restaurants within a 10 mile radius.*They are not joking! The views was fantastic!
