For those dreaming of the perfect setting to family gatherings and exquisite celebrations, Eadric House promises just the place. With spacious living areas, quiet corners, flowing grounds and a private, indoor pool, it's hard to do Eadric House justice with words. Upon arrival, you'll immediately be enchanted by its beautiful Dartmoor setting, nestled in an idyllic hamlet within the National Park. Crossing the main courtyard, the sight of Eadric House itself will take your breath away, with verdant trees, well-kept gardens and ancient barns all creating a striking welcome.

A luxury abode like no other, this grand retreat is home to a wondrous selection of rooms for leisure, recreation and play - each one as inviting as the last. With two swoon-worthy living areas, games rooms for both adults and little ones, a heated, fifteen-metre swimming pool, sauna, gym, six divine bedrooms, a cinema and more, there's plenty of space for unwinding, entertaining and relaxing at our dog-friendly Dartmoor homestay. There's even a separate cottage, Buddle Barn, across the courtyard which provides a tranquil, self-contained space for family members looking for a little more space. Perfect for larger parties and multi-generational stays, Eadric House is a dream location whatever the occasion. Promising everything you could need for an otherworldly escape, your only task will be tearing yourself away...


Living

With gorgeous Loaf sofas adorned with thick blankets, throws and sumptuous cushions, the living rooms are designed for pure comfort, whether you're looking to curl up with a book or gather together for a games or movie night. For added cosiness, each of the main living areas is dressed in soothing neutral tones and benefits from a wood burning stove to radiate warmth in cooler months.

For leisure and play, Eadric House caters to all generations with an incredible thatched games barn, complete with two playrooms. With wall-to-ceiling shelves home to a wide selection of toys, a large table for crafts, a home-cinema projector screen with surround sound system, and a bathroom, little ones can make the most of their own magical world in the children's play area. Meanwhile, just above there's another games room for the grown-ups, complete with a full-size snooker table, table tennis and table football, as well as sofas, a bar area with stools, and an all-important beer fridge.

Buddle Barn, across the courtyard, has a fabulous living area and affords a wonderfully peaceful escape. Adding entertainment throughout are televisions and WiFi, as well as a SONOS sound system linked across the house, barn and swimming pool.


Eating

What better way to celebrate a family gathering or special occasion than with food? Whether you have a culinary guru in your party or you would like to hire a private chef, Eadric House's two kitchen spaces cater to all occasions.

Inside the main house, you'll find a spacious farmhouse style kitchen, splashed with modern luxuries and an attractive kitchen island. With exposed, aged beams, neutral hues and warm tones perfectly balanced throughout, the kitchen is complete with all you could possibly need to rustle up hearty feasts from morning 'til night. For indulgent meals gathered together, you'll find a rustic dining area located beside the kitchen, which affords ample space for everyone to congregate and dine.

Buddle Barn houses a separate kitchen, which also has its own range cooker and dining table for four.


Sleeping

There are six beautiful bedrooms to choose from at our dreamy homestay: four in Eadric House, and a further two in Buddle Barn.

The master bedroom 'Birch' is a total dream, boasting a king size bed. Set within the eaves, it features full height, vaulted ceilings with attractive white cladding and pretty, sage interior palette. With lovely country vistas and a hygge-filled atmosphere, this bedroom is topped off with a spacious ensuite with his-and-hers sinks and a bathtub for bubbly soaks.

'Sycamore' is an oh-so-sweet double bedroom promising leisurely lie-ins and cosy nights. Next door to Birch, it features a sloping ceiling, exposed beams, and a low window perfect for view-gazing from the comfort of bed. Overlooked by stars and flourishing dreamy blues, it also benefits from its own ensuite with a bathtub with overhead shower.

'Beech' is accessed via another staircase and has a king-sized bed draped in ultra-fine linens and heavenly throws and cushions. With shades of grey and cream notes harmonised alongside exposed wood beams and details, this bedroom is all about comfort and calm. For moments of quietude with your latest page-turner, this room also features two cosy armchairs.

Next door to Beech is 'Apple', a charming double bedroom where soothing tones are brightened with tasteful pops of colour from striking artwork. On the bed, the highest quality linens and comfiest blankets and pillows create a beautiful cocoon for rest. Meanwhile, a skylight with shutters within the room's sloping ceiling provides lots of natural light for a bright, airy feel.

Both Apple and Beech share a bathroom with a bathtub.

In Buddle Barn you will find a further two bedrooms.

'Elm' is dressed in soft neutral hues with lovely natural accessories to accentuate the room's already wonderfully tranquil ambience. For serene slumber, it has a double bed topped with a sumptuous duvet, pillows and throws, and hugged by bedside tables. A chest of drawers provides useful storage for clothes, while statement lighting casts a warm glow.

'Hazel' boasts a super king-sized zip-and-link bed, built-in dressing table and two pretty blue wardrobes. Opening out onto the patio, this ground floor bedroom is a real dream - perfect for those balmy summer days, when its glass doors can be opened to allow morning sunshine and fresh country air to flood the room. What better way to enjoy breakfast in bed?

Both Elm and Hazel share a stunning olive-hued family bathroom with a bathtub with overhead shower.


Bathing

Eadric House has three bathrooms, two of which are ensuite to Birch and Sycamore. Beech and Apple share a family bathroom, with the addition of two toilets downstairs. There is also a family bathroom in Buddle Barn, shared by Elm and Hazel.


Swimming pool, sauna and gym

The ultimate all-weather retreat, Eadric House has its very own 15-metre indoor swimming pool, sauna and gym with a treadmill, indoor bike trainer and Swiss ball. There's a changing room and a wet room too. Relax poolside, play in the water or take some time to stretch out in the gym for additional doses of wellness in your blissful Dartmoor abode.


Outside space

Eadric House is surrounded by gorgeous, landscaped gardens with two large lawns. Decorated with flower beds that blossom in spring, and equipped with a pretty summerhouse perched on the back lawn, it's a real sanctuary for all the family. Head out into the sunshine and discover its hidden gems, from the stunning children's treehouse to swings and quiet benches, there's somewhere for everyone. It even has its own croquet set and outdoor games, so hours of fun are guaranteed. For budding botanists, there's also an enclosed potager (former vegetable garden) next to Buddle Barn. Once you're ready to refuel, outdoor furniture to seat over 20 people, a gas barbeque and a Big Green Egg smoker barbeque promise sizzling repasts for all. Set up the table, pop corks and enjoy cherished moments together, serenaded by the lilting chorus of birdsong and the rustle of a fine breeze through the trees.

Babies and children are most welcome at Eadric House. One cot and highchair can be provided on request, should you need it.

In the Area

Set on the outer fringes of Dartmoor National Park, Eadric House is perfectly placed for days of romantic exploration. Near to Devon's south coast and on the doorstep of some of the most beautiful moorland in the UK, it promises untold majesty for lovers of country and coast alike. It's also not far from a number of picturesque Devonshire towns, including Bovey Tracey, Newton Abbot, Dawlish and Teignmouth. To begin your adventures, enjoy some of the local walks nearby and head to Canonteign Falls. Just half a mile away on Canonteign Estate, the falls are the highest in the South West and a fantastic sight to behold. Perfect for all the family, the surrounding estate is also home to a super children's outdoor play area and the welcoming Canonteign Kitchen, where home-cooked food and refreshing drinks are served throughout the year.

For the walkers in your party, the web of trails that weave through Dartmoor will be hard to resist. Just eleven miles away, the craggy top of Haytor is a favourite amongst ramblers, affording far-reaching views over bracken-tufted upland and the distant coast beyond. For a coastal twist, you can easily pick up the South West Coast Path from any of the county's seaside towns and villages too, walking north or south to soak up some of the most beautiful sights imaginable. To dose up on city culture, travel to Exeter and follow its historic cobbled streets to browse shops, galleries and cafés galore. Or, for the tastiest food around, head to the Michelin star Lympstone Manor in Lympstone, Elephant in Torquay or Gidleigh Park in Chagford. The crème de la crème, these sought-after establishments offer the most flavourful, refined dishes in sophisticated settings.


Our dog friendly Dartmoor homestay is great for special celebrations and reunions, promising stunning interiors, extensive grounds and an indoor swimming pool.

We know how gorgeous our retreats are, but don’t just take our word for it – here’s what previous guests say about Eadric House:

Super stay for multi generational holiday.

A remarkable find, Eadric House is a real gem and was absolutely perfect for our extended family get together. Everything we needed for a fantastic week was provided, we made good use of the lovely pool, sauna and games rooms and we loved the beautiful furnishings and personal touches throughout… We enjoyed exploring the gardens and finding endless nooks and snugs both inside and out. Finally as an extra bonus, Canonteign waterfalls are almost at the gatepost! We all have wonderful and very happy memories of our stay.

'We were totally delighted with our stay at Eadric House. It was just perfect, meeting all our needs and it is a VERY special property. The house is beautifully designed, furnished with immaculate gardens. The playrooms and pool are invaluable and greatly used. The kitchen is well equipped and spacious with extensive outdoor seating for all. I cannot think of any possible improvements and the owners are delightful, helpful, and accessible. Everywhere was fully prepared and clean on arrival and the cleaners arrived promptly as we departed. Eadric House must be your premier property.' - August 2019

'Fantastic holiday - the pool and games room were amazing and enjoyed by all! Everything we needed was here and we hope to be back soon. Thank you.' - August 2018

'I stayed over Easter weekend with my siblings, my mother and large numbers of assorted children between 3 and 22. We had a chef in each evening and for Easter lunch who was great .

It was all in all excellent, the property is beautifully located, immaculately clean and has every facility we needed. The children swam in the warm pool, played in the tree house, and played in the play barn. The adults took long walks to the pubs , swam and made cocktails. It was wonderfully quiet and peaceful and so cosy with all the woodbyrners. We will be back ...' - March 2018
