Moonseeker is a beautifully presented pet friendly barn conversion at Webber Hill Farm Cottages. A peaceful Devon escape near Okehampton market town & a great base for exploring Dartmoor National Park, we are set away from main roads, reached down a narrow, unmade farm track tucked away in countryside between fields of sheep & cows. Moonseeker is the very private old milking parlour next to the Farmhouse & has a fully enclosed secluded garden.
Two pets stay free, additional pets £25 per pet per stay. Please read the booking terms before booking to make sure this property is suitable for your pet.
Short breaks & longer stays are available. Our minimum age for children is 8 yrs +

THE ACCOMMODATION: Inside is the perfect blend of character & contemporary. Converted with much love and attention to detail, the cottage retains features such as beams & fragments of cob wall. Moonseeker is 2 storey & sleeps 4 people in 2 ensuite bedrooms, separated by a walkway for extra privacy. Both spacious BEDROOMS have comfy Hypnos beds. Bedroom 2 has a 5ft King Size bed, &the master bedroom has a 6ft Super King (or two 3ft singles). There is plenty of space for clothes in the triple wardrobes & master room has a chest of drawers. We provide a hairdryer in both rooms.
The velux windows give a terrific view of the night clouds as they race overhead in the moonlight, or you can stargaze without having to get out of bed.
Both ENSUITES have large shower enclosures with power showers, toilet & heated towel rails. The hand basins rest on granite bases with oak cupboards beneath.
The KITCHEN is extremely well equipped for up to 4 people, with plenty of crockery, cutlery, mugs, cups & glasses. The kitchen units are hand made oak with granite worksurfaces, dishwasher, fridge, seperate freezer and washing machine. The cooker is LPG (both hobs and ovens) and has 2 ovens & 8 hob burners, so if you have more than one keen chef there need be no arguments over who has the cooker! A microwave, toaster, espresso machine (for ground coffee beans) initial supply of tea, coffee & sugar, salt, pepper, & a pint of milk for the first cup of tea when you arrive are also provided.
The LOUNGE has very comfy leather sofas with plenty of cushions & throws. There is underfloor heating throughout & the lounge also has a woodburner (first basket of logs provided free) which is great for snuggling up in front of on autumn evenings, or enjoying the relaxing effect of the flames as you unwind after a day exploring.
The smart TV is a 40" Panasonic, with Freeview. We have a DVD player & an iPod dock if you want to bring your favourite music.
There are plenty of leaflets for ideas of things to do, places to eat etc, & we have a cottage information folder full of lots of suggestions about local areas of interest & information about the cottage to help make your stay comfortable.
