Guide: Luxury Cottage Breaks in Devon

Planning a luxury cottage break in Devon? Our comprehensive guide highlights the most luxurious things to do, from where to stay, eat and visit.

Wall-to-wall luxury at Moorland View Cottage

1. Stay in an ultra-luxurious thatched cottage

Offering all the luxury of a boutique hotel, but with the space and privacy of your own home, Moorland View Cottage makes the perfect location for a luxury cottage break. Set in an idyllic thatched village in the hills of Dartmoor National Park, the cottage has a luxurious vintage tub big enough for two, log fire and fabulous local walks.

2. Have a five-star spa treatment

Guests at Moorland View have complimentary membership of five-star spa and country club, with up to 25% off treatments, food and drink. The most luxurious spa treatment is an hour-and-a-half long aromatherapy massage. Bliss.

The height of luxury: a private champagne flight over Dartmoor

3. Take a private hot-air balloon flight

Another idea for a luxury break in Devon is to take a hot air balloon flight at dawn or dusk over epic Dartmoor scenery. Local company Aerosauraus runs private champagne flights across Dartmoor or along Devon’s south coast. > More romantic things to in Devon

4. Hire a private chef

There’s nothing more luxurious than a private chef cooking for you in the comfort of a boutique holiday cottage. At Moorland View, our fantastic private chef does everything for you, from laying the table, to washing up at the end. All you have to do is choose your menu.

5. Dine at a Michelin-starred restaurant

Michelin-starred Gidleigh Park is a grand Tudor-style country manor hotel, set in 107 acres of Dartmoor woodland outside Chagford. Creative menus are delivered with pin sharp accuracy, and there’s a 50-page wine list to choose from. Well worth the £100+ price tag. Work up an appetite beforehand with a walk around their romantic grounds.
